The remix to the remix of “I’ll Be Lovin’ U Long Time” with a new beat and a new verse from LL Cool J. Mariah is the queen of remixes, but she hasn’t impressed us with the remixes off E=MC². She didn’t even give us new vocals on this one. C’mon, MC. You can do much better.
LL Cool J is MTV’s “52 Bands/52 Weeks” featured artist of the week. LL has taped a series of hilarious promos that prove the ladies will always love cool James, even when they’re old and gray.
Here’s the official album cover for LL Cool J’s thirteenth studio album, Exit 13, in stores September 9th. Notice the symbolic crown on the mic and the road sign with “8760 miles and still counting…” Few rappers have achieved longevity like LL.
LL Cool J performed his new single “Baby” for the first time on television on Fox’s “So You Think You Can Dance.” He was joined by The-Dream. LL’s Exit 13 is now scheduled for a September 9th release.
We love some good, friendly competition on the charts. Now that Nelly’s Brass Knuckles has been moved to September 16th, Young Jeezy, The Game, and LL Cool J will all face off on August 26th. (Yes, Jeezy was pushed back a week from the 19th). Young Jeezy’s The Recession will go up against The Game’s L.A.X. and LL Cool J’s Exit 13.
LL Cool J and The Game will appear on MTV’s “FNMTV” tonight at 8 p.m. LL will premiere his new video for “Baby” with The-Dream and The Game will act as this week’s commentator. Robin Thicke’s video for “Magic” was supposed to air, but it was not finished in time. More photos from the taping below.

Looks like Def Jam wants to keep LL Cool J around a little longer. The hip-hop veteran’s final album for the label, Exit 13, has been pushed back yet again. Originally slated for a July release and then moved to August 5th, the thirteenth studio album from LL will now be released on August 26th. Exit 13 features collaborations with 50 Cent, Bon Jovi’s Richie Sambora, and Wyclef Jean.
Find out who LL faces competition from on the 26th.
Alicia Keys takes it back courtesy of Swizz Beatz and LL Cool J for the remix to her third single “Teenage Love Affair.” The song samples Slick Rick’s “Teenage Love.” We’re lovin’ it.
