Episode 49 — LL Cool J’s “I Make My Own Rules” Pt. 1

[JulyDiaz 2797]

Har Mar changes things up a bit this week by reading you the beginning chapters of LL Cool J’s 1998 autobiography “I Make My Own Rules.” We’ll hear about the birth of the name “LL Cool J,” and LL’s troubled childhood which includes an incident that occurred at his grandparent’s house and being physically abused by his step-father Roscoe.

Ok, this has been pretty fucking great so far. I'm about 25 minutes in. This could be a better format with guests with Har Mar while reading this, but Har Mar adapting his already sultry tones to the character work from this book is amazing alone.

 

And wtf at that intro? That book has got a mess load of dedications and motives. And I never knew about LLCJ's nerve damage.
