Rap icon LL Cool J will be the topic of an upcoming E! True Hollywood Story documentary. Premiering next Wednesday, April 15 at 10pm EST, the story of the Queens rapper will come to life on the small screen from the famed entertainment network.
The special will include interview commentary from Def Jam Records co-founder Russell Simmons, Diddy, as well as LL Cool J and his wife and children.
Reportedly included in the episode of the long-running classic TV documentary is LL Cool J‘s self-proclaimed “G.O.A.T.” status, deeming himself “greatest of all time” with his 2000 album title. The episode will also chronicle James Todd Smith‘s love affair with Hip Hop, stemming from his mother taking him to see The Sugar Hill Gang through his first single “I Need A Beat,” complete to last year’s Exit 13 album. The other component of the feature is an in-depth look at Cool J‘s lengthy marriage, despite his role as one of Hip Hop’s most enduring sex symbols. LL Cool J previously wrote about many of these issues in his 1998 autobiography I Make My Own Rules.
Other rappers previously covered on E! True Hollywood Story include Eminem, Diddy, Snoop Dogg [click to read] and Missy Elliot.
