For his last Def Jam record LL Cool J will have 50 Cent executive-produce his next LP, Todd Smith, Part 2: Back to Cool, which is due in the fall. LL says that there will be less collaborations on this album. They've have already hooked up 2gether on the "Freeze" remix called "You Can Bump This" feat. Hot Rod and Lloyd Banks.

I hope 50 doesn't make this album suck as bad as "The Massacre"

[xoxokely]

ugghhh! why does he choose 50?

[Adrian]

ewww ! horrible

[JDM]

LL used to be pretty damn good. I don't know what happened.

"Todd Smith" was dissapointing, I could barely get into two tracks. But 50 cent makes some good beats, so this might be a good idea.

[Adrian]

please flop!

[Playboy]

LL should have stopped after the album b4 Todd Smith. Even if Control Myself was hott. He pretty much stole Snoop Dogg's idea of makin a Hip Hop/ R&B collabo album.

[Ay ya ya]

"Headsprung" and "Control Myself" are his only decent tracks.

Whats this nonsense about "Part II"!

[xoxokely]

^yah right! then everything will be left as a mess!

[LA]

LL wants to make money and 50 is a master of it!
After all, ladies love cool James, don't they?

Todd Smith flopped, I have this album and it's okay. I wouldn't say it's horrible, but it's not the best cd I own. I hope working with 50 cent makes his album better, but I'd prefer to have him work with someone different, like maybe Nas...

I just looked in LL's Discography:

TBR fall 2006: Todd Smith Pt. 2: Back to Cool

Gold's not bad, nor a flop. And Control Myself went to #4 on BB100, while the rest of the singles have bomb-hoolioD. I'd say Todd Smith had an unnoticed success

K, you really need to check out his music pre-1994. "Headsprung" is cool and all, but NOTHING tops "Mama Said Knock You Out" in terms of pure LL awesome.

That being said, I now officially have no desire to listen to this new album whatsoever.
