Rap veteran LL Cool J has stepped forward to provide fans with some more insight on his long-awaited follow-up to 2013’s Authentic album.
According to Cool James, he put his G.O.A.T. 2 album on hold to work on an upcoming untitled release.
“I put G.O.A.T. 2 on hold. It was good but I didn’t feel like it was ready yet,” LL revealed in an interview. “I haven’t titled it yet. It’s going to be real special. It will be at the level of being worthy for me to put it out. I want to give this era a taste of LL Cool J. With hip-hop today, in this era, I feel like I have to make a contribution. I’ve made a contribution in every other era. I haven’t made a high powered one in this era yet. I look forward to doing that. I think it’s going to set a standard for the culture in general. It’ll make things a lot more fun.” (SOHH)
Yesterday (March 14), LL announced plans to release a new solo album on Twitter.
LL initially set social media ablaze by announcing his retirement.

He also reportedly went into a now-deleted mini-Twitter spree.
Earlier on Monday, LL took to Twitter for a Kanye-esque rant (which the rapper later deleted, also in Kanye fashion), writing, “I want fans vs haters to start making wagers on my next album… my day 1s should bet big. I got this,” and continued on for about 13 tweets before exclaiming that the whole thing was a joke. (Billboard)
