About

LL COOL J is a two-time Grammy Award-winning hip-hop icon whose trailblazing career is singular in its longevity and accolades: 2021 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee, millions of albums sold, the first rapper to receive a Kennedy Center Honor, successful actor and author, NAACP Image Award winner, co-founder/CEO of the Rock The Bells hip-hop festival and so much more. LL COOL J exploded onto the scene in the 1980s with pioneering hit singles like the rap-rock hybrid “Rock the Bells” and beatbox classics like “I Need a Beat” and “I Need Love.” The rapper’s confrontational, occasionally romantic lyricism would propel the genre to new heights on 1990’s multi-platinum Mama Said Knock You Out. Considered one of rap’s first superstars, LL COOL J has performed on sold-out tours with legends like Run-D.M.C., Janet Jackson and the Beastie Boys.

    Not enough !

    by Premie on 11/22/23TD Garden - Boston

    The artìst that showed up were great. Boston was their last show. Originally scheduled for June postponed for 5 months and out of the huge list we only got to see 7 artist. Dj Jazzy Jeff did his thing, Dougie Fresh was amazing, it was awesome to see Queen Latifah. I appreciated LL Cool J filling in the holes but I did not feel like it was a 50 yr of hip hop celebration

    Not Really a 50yr Celebration...

    by ddemarcore on 11/22/23TD Garden - Boston

    Great Show, BUT...Not Really a 50yr Celebration...It was Roots concert doing covers and L.L.Kool J doing his thing. Nice to see Queen Latifa looking so great too, but it was in no way a 50yr celebration of HipHop. The huge marquee above with all the artists names ..was just that.. list of who you WEREN'T going to see.

    Show was incredible

    by Gasman on 11/22/23TD Garden - Boston

    The show was a great tribute to early hip hop. Queen Latifah and L.L. Cool J absolutely killed it.

    50yrs of Hip Hop

    by MarleyRae on 11/22/23TD Garden - Boston

    Second time attending The F.O.R.C.E Tour. Last stop Boston. The grand finale did not disappoint. We were blessed with not ONE but TWO surprise guests who came out and rocked the crowd. The BEST concert in 2023! I’m truly sorry for anyone who missed out on this historic moment and incredible performances by all involved. Celebrating 50yrs of Hip Hop, baby!

    by Khaleesi on 11/22/23TD Garden - Boston

    An amazing show from start to epic finish.

    by Nate P. on 11/22/23TD Garden - Boston

    The last show of the F.O.R.C.E. tour was fantastic! My seats were perfect (never sat in the club level before) and even the pre-show DJ and classic music videos were entertaining and got the crowd hyped. My one and only disappointment was that Rakim wasn't able to stay on for the Boston show as originally scheduled. But secretly bringing DMC, Treach, and Monie Love to the stage more than made up for Rakim's absence. It was one of the best shows I've ever been to. Thank you LL for putting this thing together. 🙏

    Amazing night!

    by Chuck on 11/22/23TD Garden - Boston

    Great night, great show, perfect celebration of hip hop’s 50th. The Roots were amazing as usual, backing up a crazy lineup of Doug E Fresh, Slick Rick, LL, DMC!, Queen Latifah, Monie Love, and Treach. Not to mention Shortkut warming up the crowd and Jazzy Jeff and Z Trip doing their thing. Great night not to be forgotten!
