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.

    good show, but SO not worth the money!

    by mstko on 6/28/11The Venue at Horseshoe Casino - Hammond

    he started nearly an HOUR LATE and provided a ONE-HOUR PERFORMANCE!!! so the show did not sell out. not my fault. i still deserved a FULL show! for nearly $75 per ticket, i felt cheated. while i LUV ll and say that he DID give a decent performance (walking back and forth between stage left and stage right singing to a track), he is NOT worth $75 per hour for my money (not for an impersonal concert). probably will not see his show, again. nonetheless, i STILL have MUCH luv for him!

    $0 minutes late starting - NO EXCUSE !!!

    by EddieJC on 6/26/11The Venue at Horseshoe Casino - Hammond

    Although he was good - starting the concert almost 40 minutes late is unprofessional and inexcusable without an announcement.

    LL COOL J puts on a great show!

    by BJEndo on 6/26/11The Venue at Horseshoe Casino - Hammond

    The concert was great except for one thing. I had 3rd row seats but lots of people from seats much farther back swarmed the isles and the front of the stage. If I pay for seats up front I would hope the security staff would not allow people to block the views of people who bought the most expensive seats. At times there were so many people it was hard to just stand at our own seats.

    I was 15 years old all over again!

    by Theaterfan1970 on 6/25/11The Venue at Horseshoe Casino - Hammond

    If you want to hear all of youf favorite LL hits, go see this show. It is pretty low tech. No dancers, no lights, no big fanfare. Just a lot of my man.. LL COOL J! If you want lip lickin, he will deliver. If you want him to deliver the hits just the way you remember? He will not disappoint. The only downside is that he did not show or flash one single ab. I know that he is not as cut as he was in his 20's or 30's but I am sure that his 40+ year old abs would not have disappointed either. We can all be our own worse critic.

    When LL Cool J finally makes his appearance!

    by Tasheen on 6/13/11House of Blues Atlantic City - Atlantic City

    We were in general admission STANDING ONLY ROOM. So, to start the show an hour late did not make me feel great --I started to leave. LL was not what I expected. Seems he is still trying to act younger than his age, or I'm just acting my age. Songs are still great though.

    LL Cool J is hard as hell!!

    by DePittChick on 6/12/11House of Blues Atlantic City - Atlantic City

    Even with LL showing up 2 hours late, :-( (unusual for him) I enjoyed myself. His opening act, (Dj Diamond Kuts) was awesome and kept the crowd occupied while we waited. This was my third time seeing him in the last 3 years and he definitely does a WONDERFUL show! I would certainly go and see him again. Next time I'll wear comfortable shoes, just in case :-)!!!

    LL Cool J Rocked the House

    by Oldschoolmusic1 on 6/12/11House of Blues Atlantic City - Atlantic City

    The show was awesome! The sounds and beats were pumping just an old school party in the cafe. LL did most of his stuff from the early years as well as later stuff. The mix of songs was very nice.

    Great Show!

    by tb4150 on 6/12/11House of Blues Atlantic City - Atlantic City

    LL was really good as he always was but having DJ Z Trip with him just took the whole thing over the top. This was edgier and didn't seem too rehearsed, it was fun. LL talked more than he has in the past and that was cool, too. Can't wait for the next show!
