LL Cool J - "The Truth"

(off the new Kay Slay retail joint)

is this from the purported timbaland collabo album?!

definitely not Timbaland...it's just a one-off for the Kay Slay album...on the intro he says something about how you can say things on mixtapes that you can't on albums, etc. he kinda breaks down the game, it's probably the realest I've ever heard him, it's kind of depressing to think he could have dropped a whole album like this at any point in his career and just never has and probably never will.

it's definitely cool and real, describing his come-up, ruled the rap game and all my peers sold cocaine, the az, rich porter thing, and my sex symbol status made me corny to cop, to the movie star thing and how stuff goes down now and rapping in italian and closing on the flip of the nas line.

yeah the part where he suddenly starts speaking Italian really caught me off guard, I need to listen to that part again and figure out what the fuck is going on there.
