Breakfast With Xilla – LL Cool J
When I was at the Bun B event last week I bumped into my man Ricardo who thought I was about to die when I asked The Game about his baby mother’s life story a la 50 Cent. Nonetheless he invited me out to have breakfast @ Gladys Knight Chicken & Waffles with The G.O.A.T himself LL Cool J. I got the chance to ask him about his relationships, his work out ethic and if things between and Jay-Z are good. Check it out under the cut.
How do you keep your relationship fresh?
I try to when I’m home to pay attention and show affection with out smothering and nagging. No what I’m saying And do the little things that matter, small gifts, big gifts and you know treat her like we just met.
What made you start working out?
I’ve always been physically active, if you look my 2nd album cover I was in the back hitting the heavy bag. I’ve always been into that and to even be more real with you… Look I’m from the hood and when I was growing up guys use to come home from jail big and that impressed us. We wanted to exercise because that came home and they was big and I guess we turned a negative into a positive to a certain extent and that never left me but as I moved on to my career obviously learned more and got more and more mature learned more I gained access to different people and learned different things and really got more into exercise. And I wanted to look good. I aint gotta pretend to be 17 I just want to look right for what I’m doing I just wanna look right for who I am.
What’s the wildest things a woman did to get your attention?
(Laughs) You name it bruh! You name it, I done found girls hiding in my set on stage.. You know. (Laughs)
So how do you handle the groupies?
Like a hot grease! carefully
Everything good with you and Jay-Z?
Yeah I don’t have any issues with him I never had any issues with Jay-Z personally. My issues was with the work ethic and what was happening at def jam. I just wanted my project to be worked properly. I can’t say I’ve always mad the greatest records but once the company accepts the music then their job is to commit to it and promote it. That’s all it was ever about with me it was never about anything else but that. As you can see right now you know I’m being promoted and marketed we blessed things are going well and I’m not complaining. You don’t hear LL complaining anymore, so you figure it out.
