This Friday, after more than a decade break, the legendary LL Cool J dropped the new album, titled The FORCE, entirely produced by another hip-hop icon, Q-Tip. It features guest appearances from Snoop Dogg, Fat Joe, Rick Ross, Sona Jobarteh, Saweetie, Busta Rhymes, Nas, Eminem, Mad Squablz, J-S.A.N.D., and Don Pablito.
“Murdergram Deux”, featuring Eminem, was released as the fourth single of the album on August 30, 2024. With LL’s nostalgic bravado and Eminem’s signature speedy flow and subtle wordplay, the song sees the pair boasting about their raw “unapologetic” style and credibility in the rap game. The track is produced by Eminem and Q-Tip, LL’s fellow Queens rap legend and former member of A Tribe Called Quest, who has produced the entire album.
DJ Whoo Kid shared the snippet of the song on his Instagram with the caption: “@llcoolj x @eminem, this is my fav LL song! Your thoughts? @ilovewhoodini.” Whoo Kid probably meant that it’s his favorite LL song from the new album.
Under the comments, legendary Big Daddy Kane commented: “LOVE IT!!! This a Cerrone vibe.” Busta Rhymes, Fat Joe, Royce 5’9″ and Lazarus have all commented fire emojis. Though, fans have mixed feeling about the song and the entire album. Someone said: “The album is not that good. The lyrics are on point, typical LL, but the tracks…..leaves a lot to be desired.” One user commented: “Nah man, this ain’t it…” Another said: “They ripped that s–t!” Check out the screenshot of the reactions below:
