Default Re: Kennedy Center Honors LL Cool J.

That was cool. Thanks for posting.

I always wondered if Ad Rock or any other Bboy had written their own lyrics for I Need A Beat.

It's always been weird to me how little credit he gets for making that beat. But whenever it does get brought up it's recognized as kind of a seminal moment in Hip Hop. Like even if he hadn't gone on to do anything else in Hip Hop, Ad Rock is not only the guy to "discover" LL, but he also made the beat for his first single.

It's kind of like a secret handshake for us. If we know the whole story or not.

Either way, congrats to LL.
