LL Cool J's Memories of Michael Jackson

[rob2049]

Must see! Interview with Whitney Houston talking about Michael Jacksons sudden death, eerie prediction.. Link on top of this video...

[rob2049]

Found Whitney Houston and Michael Jackson Duet. Link On the top! Someone did a pretty good job!

[athousandorigami]

"Every great painting, if you put it under a microscope, probably has some nicks and scratches."

-Real deep words. I think what L.L. was conveying was that M.J. was so pure and decent-hearted, that people in the media or any person beset with hatred, tried to "crucify" him and make him falter. The boy who alleged that M.J. molested him told the media after his death that it was a "hoax."

Why must we continue to judge people and put them down just to heighten our own self-worth?

I detest it.

[rob2049]

Did any of you saw Michael in concert?

[natalee217]

@rob2049 Yup I did, 3 times in my life. In 1970, 1984 and in 1988. I was very fortunate so see him.

[natalee217]

@rob2049 I did 3 times. 1970, 1984 and 1988. Iike what LL said at the end, if you look at a painting under a microscope, you will find nics and scratches but it doesnt mean its not a masterpiece. That is so true fr Michael. Beautifully said LL.

[JayNJayShow]

How ironic is it that they both had classic cuts called "I'm Bad" (although Mike's was just "BAD") come out the same year, 1987.

[Jamesbcannell]

MJ was the reason i started to write music, and the reason I started to care about others. I love you MJ, R.I.P. xxx

[moonwalkerlover1998]

I absolutely loved the last thing he said it is so true no ones perfect but mike was as close as it gets I miss u mike we will never forget you I lov u sooo much R.I.P

[johnoH20]

Love this guy what u see is what ya get he is a genuine nice down to earth guy no bullshit and a fucking awesome artist and actor love ya LL

[strawberry5889]

If he licks his damn lips ONE MORE FUCKIN TIME! lol

[MrEmilian10]

[19esmiopa50]

Wow - such nice comments about MJ - thanks LL you have a lot of class. We love yah.

[dnsimmonsKOTD]

Oh WOW! The last thing he said was so perfect, I'm speechless.

[WHOSBADDD]

@jamielpridgen nahhhh i agree ll cool j says some rreally nice things about him but the nicest and truest is stevie wonder he loved michael

[ProudtobeaCanuck]

He said such nice things but ppl will always say what they want about MJ b/c they don't understand him. LL cool J was one of the few who got to meet him and know the real him unlike others who never met him yet seem to think they know everything about him. I loved the last part it perfectly describes MJ

[0o0jackie0o9]

i love that he always talks FIRST about michael's beautiful soul AND THEN about his music. For most celebrities its the other way around..

[sydneyfc]

this is such a beautiful interview. thank you llcoolj

[jamielpridgen]

tHIS TO ME IS THE BEST THING i EVER HEARD ANYONE SAY ABOUT michael Jackson. The other best one is Randy Jackson from aMERICAN iDOL..CHECK THAT OUT..WOW.. : 0



[jamielpridgen]

i went to school with LL-COOL J thats why I put this video in the mICHAEL jackson tribute video I did. on my channel LL was and is the King of rap in my opion because he's lasted since 84.

[jamielpridgen]

I used clips of this video of LL speaking about Michael in my latest tribute to Michael. Thanks!!

[xxleandraxx1]

LL is so sexy, R.I.P MIKE <3

[faddiegirl]

[freebizy]

THANK YOU for posting this. There are SO MANY people who knew Michael, and they all have wonderful things to say... he was one of a kind and there will never be another like him. That's why it's important to hold him in our hearts and remember his messages of sharing love, having hope and working to heal the planet.

[markilew250]

thanx for postin' this, I wish more people could see & hear things like this of the true great human being & talent & person Michael Joseph Jackson-the greatest there ever was & Will be!! R.I.P My black brotha!

[Funnypandalonies]

sometimes the master painter scratches the painting to make it a masterpiece. Much like the potter and the clay he masters. Every scratch, knick, and print is carefully placed to make the piece that much more spectacular, personal, and unique. In our lives, things happen, it's how we respond/react to those moments that determines who we are. MJ had a hard life growing up, but he turned it around for the good. All things work together for the good of those who love God (Rom. 8:28).

[sashathepanda]

awh! he said some really nice things about Michael. I loved what he said about the painting. that just says it all really.

[DialovesMikeforever]

Michael has touched the lifes of so many people,i'm proud to be his fan and i miss him :(

[hibbediejibbedie]

"He literally had to speak in a whisper to make people feel comfortable" that's so true... it show's how humble MJ was and that he really didn't want to be treated like an otherworldly superstar.I'm sure, he loved his fans and the LOVE he got from them all over the world,but he seemed to be so sensitive and quite embarrassed by it at the same time...he often got emotional at awardshows...

I miss him :(

Thanks for the nice words from LL ... :)

[princesalem2007]

never have been said better..RESPECTT

[mountazeaicky]

how many times did he say "you know" ;-)

[chrisandalec]

@mountazeaicky Sometimes "you know" and it is a very difficult to put into words....just like the secrets of the universe :) Sometimes one just has to "believe"; sometimes.....one just knows :)....it is kind of like a level of certainty; however, sometimes others can't "see it" :)

"You know"....kidding on that one :)

Much Love,

Chris in Indy

[premedog]

L really expressed himself well.......beautiful thoughts

[niyaQB]

Wow! words well chosen to some up a King.

[cherylcamargo]

Loved the video!LL put it straight out about Michael Jackson.Thank you for posting this video!

[funkyboyuk122]

What a beautiful sole... What a loss... those who really knew Michael, who were so lucky to know him & those that didn’t want to take anything from him or profit from him, they don’t have a bad word to say about him... so humble, so polite.. So sweet...a gentleman... I can never understand how anyone could think he would ever be capable of all the things they said he did...I am happy in my heart that I have never ever doubted his innocence despite the horrendous media witch hunt...RIP

[v8kiwi]

Awwwe I gonna cry ;( ....... thanx LL

[cobrala]

LL Stop wit the lickin of the lips, its like he has a nervous twitch, 'He's a hardcore rapper but he's glossy"

[BDist1]

@cobrala lol

[TrueCommonSense]

Whoa. That is amongst the best quotes that I have ever heard or attributed to Michael. Very humbled and well said.

[theburg727]

"Every great painting, if you put it under a microscope, probably has a few nicks and scratches. That does not mean that it is not a masterpiece." Damn....that's deep. LL went deep with that. That's a beautiful quote.

[macoport1]

"Mike was aware of his power." Honestly thats a great quote coming from James. Michael was never cocky, well he was actually. Being famous or successful requires having a big head. giggity. But Michael never came off like that obviously.

LL got that off with MJ's sample on "Hey Lover", top ten fav songs both original and sampled

[bluerachael1979]

@macoport1 I agree. I think MJ had a little ego. Everyone has a little ego. MJ was so big as a star that anything he did in the music world people paid attention but he wasn't egotistical. He always remind humble and level headed. To him what was important was his art not ego trips. Even when he wanted to work with other artists he always say if they are free and want to work with him. What MJ didn't realize a lot of artist would have dropped what they are doing just to work with him...lol.

[likitt2]

Much Respect!

[SuperJadeDragon]

What song did they do together?

[ChubwubGunner]

@SuperJadeDragon An unreleased song resumed to be from Dangerous sessions called Serious Effect. :)

[205breed]

LL has always been one of my favorites, right behind Pac.

I would have loved to hear Mike and Pac together too.

Much respect to LL for that last statement, that was the realest thing I have heard!

[ShAySlIm130]

I agree! they are both my heroes :)

[xxleandraxx1]

Mikey i love you such a kind sweet man full of love...people need to let him be.

if he is alive then let him come back on his own time.He needs a break.THANKS LL

[lovethe1wolves]

Thank you LL

[ATLien333]

LL Cool J gotten old as hell...

[DEBONAIRMAN]

"Every great painting, if you put it under a microscope, probably has a few nicks and scratches. That does not mean that it is not a masterpiece." One of the most apt and eloquent quotes regarding MJ that I have heard so far. Extremely well said, LL.

[ladyfierce]

@DEBONAIRMAN

Totally agree !

beautiful

[natalee217]

@DEBONAIRMAN - i totally agree

[THR336TALIA]

Love that last line <3

[elizaakababyd]

l cool j still lick them lips lol

[SMILESNFROWNS]

@elizaakababyd lol i was thinking the same thing at least 30 times. LL suppose to have some super soft lips n moist too. hahahahahaha

[liacashmere58]

LL was right MJ had his flaws but he was not just a King but THE KING.

[wendyluvsmj]

Michael WAS a masterpiece.

We will never see anyone like him ever again. He was a precious gift of love to all humanity ... and will remain so forever.

[bluesaway1]

LL made me cry. I love this and especially his last statement ...wow, that's deep and so true. What Michael has left this world - not just his music, but the feelings he's inspired in all of us.... there are some things that time can NEVER erase and Mike's legacy is one of them. I still miss him and think about him every single day.

[wrldtvlr2]

:59-1:05 So profound...so true! Everything was so beautifully said and on point!

[DCLsMusic]

Nice!.. I love LL and MJ..

rip mj

[111pattycakes]

Gee... I just woke up... wonder which voice I will use today?.... Michael Jackson was AMAZING! He had a voice range that was absolutely incredible!

WE LOVE YOU MIKE! ......Soldier of L.O.V.E.

[9esther09]

Yea it changed as he got older, but he really did have a high voice, just like his grandpa & brother Jackie, just like Jermaine used to have a softer one, but it changed as he got older. There would be no need for him to fake a voice, he was always real w ppl, shy, but real.

[crazyblackone]

I don't think he meant it litterally but simply was trying to make a statement on how HUGE michael was.

"He was SO BIG he had to speak in a whisper voice to make people feel comfortable"..

It's like a metaphore you know what I mean?

[PoetGerri]

Oh my God. That was beautiful. Lord, just when you think you have no more tears for Michael. 'Under a microscope, every masterpiece has its flaws.' There is probably no more apt a description of Michael Jackson than this. Thank you LL for those beautiful words. Wow...

[matticka1]

so well said!

[9esther09]

thanks 4 sharing this w me! MJ ddnt fake his voice tho, ugh!

[matticka1]

9ester09

maybe you meant to send your reply to someone else cause I didn't comment on MJ's voice:)

Matticka1

[9esther09]

No, I was referencing what LL said in this vid, where he said MJ had to fake a small voice, that's just another tab lie, he always said he got this voice from his grampa & Jackie has a higher one than her does.

[rockdiva888]

@9esther09 ..LL didn't say , at anytime that Mike was using a fake voice. What he said was that "he" believed that Mike understood his power and he spoke in a whisper just to make people comfortable....

[dutchesshouston]

i love what he said at the end about the painting well said LL i think he sumed MJ up better than anybody

[rob2049]

I agree, LL is also a great entertainer, but is humble just like Mike. Peace!

[rob2049]

@dutchesshouston He himself is a real deal. Thanks for the post, luv from USA

[Francojacko]

@dutchesshouston yea he said it all at the End.... we could use that with Anyone

[AmazingWayz07]

right right well said LL

[morebeauty]

haha YEAH!!!!!!!!!!

he summed it up pretty nicely =)

that's what i been saying, MJ was greatest artist of all time and his greatest work, his masterpiece, was his life

[BORISK5]

This is great...When I heard this I even become bigger LL an MJ fan...From G.O.A.T. to king of pop

[rob2049]

I feel the same way, 2 music Icons!
