Not sure if this song is cringeworthy or just that I hate country music and it's actually well intentioned.

 

[SlipperyMoose]

Good message, bad song.

 

[Messypandas]

When did John Lennon come back?

 

[sqwarlock]

Is he playing the "persecuted southern white man" card? The fuck?

I can stand country music sometimes, but this is awful.

Aaaaand, I just got to LL's verse. I repeat again, the fuck?!

 

[freenudemacusers]

the "walk this way" of today's generation

 

[Borgnine]

Doesn't Collegehumour usually put a watermark on their videos?

 

[John Rabbit]

jesus christ at those grade-school level rhymes.

 

[Slayven]

His lyrics are almost word for word the speech Neo white supremacy groups give why they are not the hanging KKK.

 

[vas_a_morir]

He's a great guitar player, but I know better than to watch that video.

 

[Agnostic]

I need a Bob Dylan and Chuck D collaboration to cleanse me of this shit.

 

[ChubbyHuggs]

Holy shit, that was horribly cringe worthy.

 

[tycoonheart]

His hat is like a shark's fin.

 

[Borgnine]

His lyrics are almost word for word the speech Neo white supremacy groups give why they are not the hanging KKK.

So he's no racist he's just proud to be white. Oh ok no need to raise my eyebrows then. Also he got a token black guy on the track so it's additionally ok, I assume he would have released the song without him as well.

 

[SolsticeZero]

Wow, I honestly thought that NCIS LA would be the low point of LL Cool J's career, but apparently I was wrong.

 

[3N16MA]

Nelly and Tim McGraw did it better (which is not saying much).

 

[XANDER CAGE]

I'm glad the first thing he sings about is "but muh Confederate flag!"

 

[Salsa]

starbucks

 

[harmonize]

don't judge me by the swastika tattooed on my face just see me for who i am

 

[Acorn]

Anyone remember mama said knock you out? Or ll destroying canibus?

Yeah...

 

[JDSN]

No wonder they switched to another version of "You will never leave Harlan alive" for the Justified season finale. This man is insane, bonus point for making the musical version of "Im not racist cos I have a black friend" thing.

"If you dont judge my gold chains...Ill forget the iron chains"-LL Cool J.

 

[Byakuya769]

I can't.

 

[Ken Masters]

LL Cool J, why embarrass yourself like this?

 

[Salsa]

gonna listen to this 10 times in a row now

cleansing cleansing cleansing

 

[Lionel Mandrake]

This generation's Ebony and Ivory.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

holy shit.

 

[NumberTwo]

This is one of those songs that are going to be talked about on "I Love the 2010s" 20 years from now.

We'll all go, "oh yeah--I remember that. What they hell were they thinking?"

 

[jred2k]

I can't watch the video at work, but how many times does LL Cool J lick his glossy lips in the video? I'm going to say at least over 7.

 

[XANDER CAGE]

Well, at least Paisley found an actual person to duet with.

 

[DominoKid]

"NOPE!" - Lana Kane.

 

[NYCmetsfan]

"If you don't judge my gold chains/I'll forget the iron chains"

WTF?!?! Is this real life.

I love how this song pretends all the horrible racism and oppression is long gone.

 

[soul creator]

this is like Crash in song form

 

[see5harp]

As bad as this verse is, I actually think I prefer this over jay-z on suit and tie and RZA on the otherwise awesome James Blake song. Stop letting RZA rap on shit.

 

[NYCmetsfan]

this is like Crash in song form

I get angry whenever I see that movie mentioned.

 

[NYCmetsfan]

And WTF is a proud rebel?

proud of supporting human enslavement and treason?

edit: meant for this to be an edit.

 

[SolsticeZero]

I get angry whenever I see that movie mentioned.

You and me both, bro. Pretty much every other movie that year was better than Crash.

Good Night and Good Luck for life

 

[harmonize]

Nice to see L pay homage to one of the more admirable southern leaders, Robert E. Lee.

 

[Az987]

I just got chills from how bad that was.

I've never had that happen before.

 

[freenudemacusers]

whoa

 

[sixteen-bit]

LL Cool J, why embarrass yourself like this?

With a name like that, he's probably above embarrassment.

 

[NYCmetsfan]

GAF ads

whoa

[Talon]

I want off this goddamn planet.

 

[PhoenixDark]

RIP to Robert E Lee
But I gotta thank Lincoln for freeing me
Nahmean?

This is the most coon shit I've heard in years. I could understand Hermain Cain comparing durags to the Confederate flag but I didn't expect this from LL. I guess he realizes at this point it's easier to sell to white people than black people, they're his bread and butter through NCIS so why not. Pathetic. You'd never see Rakim do this shit.

I realize not every person who waves a Confederate flag is racist, but to deny what that flag stands for is to ignore and rewrite history.

 

[ArchedThunder]

This was cringe worthy until LL Cool J came in, then it became hilarious.

 

[Master Milk]

this is a terrible song, i recommend no one else waste their time listening to it

edit: meant for this to be an edit.

whoa

i laughed way too hard at this, but at least it redeemed the thread for me

Did LL apologize for Sherman's march? Goddamn Uncle Ruckus must have co-wrote these lyrics.


LL it's cool you are safe now, you don't have to keep going. You keep arresting brown people and old white people will love you forever.

 

[Talon]

He's L-Lost his goddamn mind.

 

[Wickerman]

Ugh..that was terrible

 

[BobbyRobby]

This was cringe worthy until LL Cool J came in, then it became hilarious.

my reaction as well. it sounds really out of place too. wasn't mixed well.

 

[Artemisia]

Did they just compare wearing the confederate flag to having sagging jeans

 

[newjeruse]

"If you don't judge my gold chains/I'll forget the iron chains"

WTF?!?! Is this real life.

Not a bad tradeoff for the white folk if I may say so.
