According to Cool J, he’s going to let the project slowly come together instead of forcing it onto store shelves.

“I’m working on G.O.A.T. 2. I’m taking my time with it. I’m having a lot of fun, and I have some really cool people on the record. It’s coming together slowly, so we’ll see. When it’s ready, I’ll put it out. It can be really tough. You’ll find a lot of artists that aren’t completely happy with their records. You have hits, you have flops. You have hits that you thought were going to be flops and flops that you really thought were going to be hits, and everything in between.” (Forbes)

LL recently talked about working with rap star Eminem.

“Me and Em have a song. He just recently let me hear his verse and it’s crazy. He’s chainsawin’ sh*t. It’s good, it’s good. I think people are gonna be pleasantly surprised when they hear me and him on a record together.” (Rap-Up)

Over the summer, LL said his upcoming G.O.A.T. 2 album would be geared toward having a more street feel.

“People [are] wondering what this album is for and this album is mainly for the n*ggas. It’s gritty. This one is not for the ladies. This album features nothing but real stories, true stories, what I want to do keep it true and embrace the current environment and take it to the next level. I am not trying to sound like I’m from down South and I’m not trying to sound like I’m ’90s New York. It ain’t about how old you are, it’s about how you connect with the people.” (HHV)

A few days prior, New York battle rap king Murda Mook spoke to SOHH about working with LL for their “I’m Nice” collaboration.

“LL actually hit my phone and I was just chilling. I was like, “Yo, who is this?” And he was like, “What up, it’s LL.” I was like, “What?! LL Cool J?” He just told me the idea and I already had the record with Raekwon on it. Me and Rae, Rae is like a mentor to me. He’s like a big brother and Rae’s been holding me down throughout the years. I already had the record from Ron Browz and I told Rae, “Yo Rae, get on this.” So I told LL, “Yo, I think I got the perfect joint for you.” So when I went to the studio with him, I had played it and LL was like, “This is it!”” (SOHH)

  1. Very said to see a man i consider A goat reduced to entertainment for a show that hate giving a culture he help built credit….

  2. If you have to let a project “slowly come together”, you’re not the GOAT. Having said that I have enormous respect for Cool J’s contribution. His legacy is integral to the culture.
