This one is for the veteran hip-hop heads. LL Cool J and Eminem take fans back in time as they recreate some memorable moments for their “Murdergram Deux” music video, which was released on Wednesday (September 11).
LL and Em traveled to Detroit to fill up on the nostalgia for the JakeTheShooter directed clip. The New York legend returns to 1987 to cover the Bigger and Deffer (BAD) album cover nearly four decades later.
The “Loungin” rapper puts a modern twist on his “Going Back to Cali” video as he takes to the black and white fishbowl scene in his signature hat. But it's Eminem who gets the emperor treatment as he pays tribute to Big Daddy Kane Long live Kane album cover. The pair also salute the legendary Death Row VIBE cover from 1996.
“Murdergram Deux” arrived before LL Cool J's The Force as a single, and marks the first group among the rap icons.
“Bless my students, pro, I'm a sniper/ Like eight miles away, me and Marshall making kills/ With dirty burners, break 'em and melt 'em in the oven,” LL Cool J croons over Q-Tip's production .
An unfinished version of the track was leaked earlier this year, much to LL's dismay. “It's not AI, but it's not official. It's not official, it's not the right version,” he said said Raymond T at the end of June. “People are just all walking around the kitchen, touching the rolls before they're done — you know, the way your grandma slaps your hand when you're trying to check the pots early. It's not AI – it's a real joint.”
LL Cool J's The Force landed on September 6 and is his first album since 2013 Authentic. The LP also features Snoop Dogg, Busta Rhymes, Rick Ross, Saweetie, Nas and more.
