Rapper LL Cool J received the Joseph Papp Racial Harmony Award last night (April 6) in New York.

 

According to Jewish media outlet JTA, The Foundation for Ethnic Understanding hosted a swanky affair at the home of Hip-Hop mogul Russell Simmons, who is also co-chair of the organization with founder Rabbi Marc Schneier.

 

The organization aims to promote black-Jewish and Muslim-Jewish relations.

 

“LL has long history of social and political activism. He is one person who is not recognized enough for his gifts,” Russell Simmons told AllHipHop.com. “I'm very happy to have honored him for his many contributions.”

 

In related news, LL Cool J will be featured in an upcoming episode of E! True Hollywood Story, which airs at 10:00 PM on April 15.

wow its strange how things turn around and change back at the start of the 90's niggas was actually saying he wasn't conscious enough in terms of pro black awareness they actually booed him off stage while the "Self Destruction" movement was poppin and at that point  he fell out of favour

But by the time he dropped "Mama said nock you out" "Jingling Baby" "To Da Break A Dawn" and "Boomin System" he had the game on smash again

Hey, you owe me an apology for calling me a bitch and a hoe.  All you have to do is apologize and go about your business.  If you do not apologize, than, let the Cyber War continue.  Hey, like you said, I don't have a life, so I can sit here forever aggravating the shit out of you.

It's your call, pal.  LightSkinMofo singed a peace treaty, gorgon moved on.  Look, gorgon hasn't said boo to me in like a week.  He is all over this site minding his business.  He is much harsher than you and look how he was able to just ignore me.  See how that works.  Some people are too smart to continue going at it with me.  Look, I know you like my tits and you are aroused by my hot body, but, let's face it, we hate each other.  So, just apologize and let it go.

I'm still not talking to him until he apologizes, but I guess he doesn't care.  That is his choice, but at least he is not bothering me and I don't bother him.  So, I'm cool with that. Why can't you man up and say, Mia, I should not have called you a bitch, it was wrong, now let's get on with the business of hip-hip.  How fucking hard is that?  You have a dirty mouth and needs to be washed out with piss. Now fucking apologize!

I agree with you.  He can rap.  I don't agree that he is better than 50.  Fif is much more fun and much more commercial.  Ross is way too dark and boring, because he tells fairytales.  See Biggie told fairytales too, as well as Pac, but the difference was in the style of the way they did it.

For example, Biggie was like a Hood Reporter, you understand, he told you how it was from what he saw.  I think they did Biggie injustice in that film of his life because they tried to give him street cred as a drug dealer and Biggie really was a good kid.  

Pack too, he never got in trouble until he got in the lime light and I suspect he stirred up that arrest in Oakland where he said the cops beat he so he could get press.  The point is, Ross is a fraud in respect to being a flat out liar and if he is lying about that, than you can't trust him.

It is not about the music.  Hey, he made a few, not many, but I would say three hood burners that I like. "Hustling" was infectious, "Mafia Music" was good and the "Magnificent" remake, (which I give him half credit for because it wasn't orginal:  Special Ed, who I like everything he did)

So, I don't hate Ross skills.  I just think that he was in no position to talk shit to anybody, especially after he was barely hanging on to a career.  People can argue with me until the moon turns bleeds, but Ross doesn't have the industry props to pop shit to 50 or any artist.  He should be grateful that he slipped through the system and go a little love.  No pun attended on slipped, Slip N Slide was a good label for him, LOL.

In all seriousness, celebrities are like politicians, we accept them, like we vote for politicians and if you show your ass, we impeach you from office.  Same thing with an artist, if you show your ass, we starve you by not buying your shit and you fail.  I think Ross has a responsibility to earn his way in the game with good music and leave power houses like 50 out his mouth.  

Ross doesn't have the skills, sales, or street cred to go against 50.  So, I have no respect for Ross and if you think about what he could be doing based on his character, why would you support him.  He telling kids that you get rewarded for being a drug dealer.  He is not paying his child support.  He is flossing negativity in every sense of the word.  If you area a:

1. Father (you would not respect Ross, he doesn't support his kids)

2. A Woman (Ross disrespects woman)

3  A Kid (Ross is a horrible roll model and yes rappers are the hood super heros)

4. A fan (Ross has zero credibility and can not be trusted)

5. A novice to hip-hip (Ross is a bad place to start)

Look, 50 is not perfect, he is not that great of an artist, but whole and complete.  50 is a package.  He is marketable, he sells products, clothing, food items, movies, books, radio.  Fif has way more marketability than Ross will every have and Ross owes 50 an apology plane and simple.  He was not there, meaning at that fire, he has no right to dry snitch on 50 about setting a fire to kill his kid.  

That was bullshit and Ross should not be allowed to breath for that.  I don't mean die, I mean breath in the game of hip-hop.  So, do I hate Ross, no.  I don't even know him.   But I do love hip-hop and as a supporter of the game and a lover of the sport, I have a right to protest against Ross.  Just like I have a right to protest against a politician who fucked me over.  

I will continue to protest against Ross and any other asshole until they fall or I just get burned out with the subject.  In the case of Ross, I promise you, he will not succeed.  This economy is too bad to invest in a cop and trying to shove him down the throats of rap fans who hate cops.  Ross will never make it and he has hung himself good.  The only way he will ever make money in this industry, will be to start a label and sign credible artist and distance himself from the artist as much as possible.  

In some many words, Ross will have to be a ghost version of a CEO of a record label.  However, if Ross is so blind by fame, and keeps believing his own bullshit, than he will mutate into a clown and have to go around making fun of himself like William Shatner from Star Trek and start doing Price line commercials.  This is my honest opinion from a neutral perspective.
