If by watching “Run’s House” you never got an idea of what it’s like to talk to Russell Simmons, here is yet another opportunity. Rick Rubin is there and apparently a part of this conversation/interview, but it more or less turns into a monologue when Uncle Rush is prompted to speak.

He doesn’t seem to need much of a reason to share his jewels of knowledge, just a slight nudge and THAR SHE BLOWS!!

Really though, it’s good game. He’s so matter of fact it’s hilarious and Rubin just sits there cause he knows it’s the truth. Guess that’s the life of a mogul.

They appear to be on their way to the “VH1 Hip Hop Honors,” where the night is being held to uplift the label they started. Both men are visibly happy to be celebrating such an auspicious occasion, even if LL Cool J couldn’t be there.

“LL Cool J has become an amazing person,” Simmons says in the video. “He’s also consistently been hot. He’s hot now on CSI. It’s been a lot of years. He was the first artist on Def Jam and he can’t be here right now because of how hot he is right now. And it’s a real thing.

VIDEO INSIDE!

When Run DMC was inducted into the 2009 Rock N Roll Hall of Fame, it’s likely LL Cool J was one of their most ardent supporters.

While their careers may have drawn obvious parallels in style and era, Run DMCs example was the paradigm by which every artist measured themselves in the ’80s.

They undoubtedly paved the way for talent like L and the Hall recognizes as much, as he is a part of the list of nominees for the 2010 class.

An impressive group that includes Kiss, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Donna Summer and Jimmy Cliff, Cool J could be among the five that make it into the 25 th induction ceremony on March 15, 2010 in NY.

Inductees are announced in December.

Word has it LL’s album sucks and this is one of the tracks that didn’t make it, that’s making a… fuss? On it, the self proclaimed “G.O.A.T.” takes shots at a group of individuals called “NY rappers” that let the South wrestle the game from their grip. He also addresses how material the hip hop climate is, obsessed over money and all, leading some to believe he’s calling out one Sean Carter.

We don’t believe that to be the case, cause LL’s never had any reservations about calling out anyone on any record, so why would he give a fuck about gettin’ at Jay Z now? Cause dude has the “crown?” Fuck outta here… ok, got a little carried away. Take a listen and let us know what you make of it.
