Big Daddy Kane reacts to Eminem paying homage to him in LL Cool J’s “Murdergram Deux” video

“Murdergram Deux” marks LL Cool J and Eminem’s highly anticipated first collaboration and the fourth single from LL Cool J’s long-awaited upcoming album, The FORCE. 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 – a sequel to LL’s original “Murdergram” – is produced by LL’s fellow Queens rap legend and former member of A Tribe Called Quest, Q-Tip, with additional production by Eminem. Tip also produced the entire new LL album.

LL Cool J and Eminem took fans back in time as they recreated some memorable moments for their “Murdergram Deux” music video, which was released on Wednesday (Sept. 11, 2024). LL and Em traveled to Detroit to pack on the nostalgia for the JakeTheShooter-directed clip. The New York legend steps back into 1987 to remake the Bigger and Deffer (BAD) album cover art nearly four decades later.

LL puts a modern twist on his “Going Back to Cali” visual while stepping into the black-and-white fishbowl scene with his signature bucket hat. But it’s Eminem who gets the emperor treatment as he pays homage to Big Daddy Kane ’s “Long Live the Kane” album cover. The pair also salutes Death Row’s legendary VIBE cover from 1996.

Big Daddy Kane responded to Eminem on Instagram post with the caption: “AYEEE!!! Thank you @eminem for the love. This new @llcoolj project is PHENOMENAL! All my drinkers, let’s talk about that Em line ‘Crack a bottle cause this is E&J, I’m talking Me & James.'” Rapper Grafh commented: “Crazy.” Tony Yayo and legendary Chuck D commented fire emojis.
