In the midst of his tirade against the music industry and recording contracts, Kanye West decided to do a little extra when he urinated on one of his Grammys.
Among those who took offense to it? Hip Hop legend LL COOL J.
The Rock The Bells CEO chopped it up on Desus & Mero with Desus Nice and The Kid Mero on Thursday (October 1) and opened up on Ye and the disrespect he felt the Chicago rapper/producer gave a number of people who put in work to earn the gramophone in Hip Hop.
“With all due respect, I think Kanye should just, you know … maybe he should just piss in a Yeezy or something instead of pissing on a Grammy. Piss in a pair of one them Yeezys, B,” LL said around the 15:30 mark. “I felt some kind of way about that shit. I didn’t love that shit because I’ve hosted the Grammys for five years. The Grammys didn’t get everything right, but they didn’t get everything wrong, either.”
LL hosted “music’s biggest night” from 2012 to 2016. During his stint as host, the awards averaged 29 million viewers and peaked in 2012 with 39.9 million viewers.
He continued, “I don’t understand this constant disrespect. Look, now don’t get me wrong, there have been some foul things that have happened to some artists around the Grammys. They are not without flaws, don’t get me wrong. They are not perfect at all. I’ve seen things happen and I was like, damn. One year they invited [JAY-Z] down and I felt like he should have got some love and he got snubbed that year … but pissing in Grammys? Piss on one those space shoes, B. C’mon, man. What the fuck is he doing?”
Elsewhere in the lengthy interview, LL opened up about things in his career he wasn’t proud of, his long-rumored fight with Jamie Foxx on the set of Any Given Sunday and more.
“See, sometimes your intentions can be right but maybe the communication isn’t there,” LL said about regrets. “Maybe you meant to say something but people heard another thing. It is what it is. You can argue with yourself all day long about projects you had and why they didn’t connect. At the end of the day, your intentions … you shot the shot, you meant it to go in, but you missed! If you missed you missed. So yeah, I’ve had misses but I’m not ashamed of any of that, it’s part of being a champion.”
Kanye West Pisses On One Of His 21 Grammy Awards While Labeling Forbes Editor 'A White Supremacist'
Back on September 16, Ye took to Twitter and proclaimed he wouldn’t stop going in on the music industry. One of those moments included the video of him urinating on one of his 21 Grammy Awards as an act of defiance.
“Trust me … I WONT STOP,” Ye wrote on Twitter. Many presumed the video was among the reasons Ye was temporarily suspended from the social media platform but he continued on, by calling Forbes editor Randall Lane a racist and publicly sharing Lane’s phone number.
LL sounds like one of those house slaves that’s willing to defend his master over his own people. He’s acting like Samuel in Django… LL has 2 Grammy out of 9 nominations and hosted it 5 times. You hosted the show more times than the amount of Grammys you have..it’s like a 360 deal ..now you’re defending them probably in hopes to get to host it again..I’m taking notes on the reaction of others caused by another persons own belief. LL hold it…you’re from the old school era which was ok with being signed and owned..this era..this independent talk isn’t your fight. When we look back at this and see how much black people benefit from the actions Ye is taking people like LL and his accomplishments will be looked at as if they contributed little to nothing in our culture except more ways to keep us trapped..
But LL owns his masters and has for years. Not his fault Kanye signed a stupid deal and not Grammys fault either even though Grammys suck
You missed the point..LL owns his masters ok cool how come he’s not the one preaching on how artist should own their masters or show them the way..instead hes defending the same people that’s holding back artist..you seriously believe cardi b should’ve won a Grammy over nip and pusha t and Travis Scott??? That’s just one example how the Grammy manipulate the rap genre..wake up..teach a man how to fish and LL being that he owns his master should’ve been front line teaching the youth instead he’s doing the opposite holding onto the secrets. A lot of these artist come in at a very young age their own lawyers are working with their record labels and not on their side.
Well said.
So you’re going to type the same chit under different names huh? Do your phaggot asa know how hard people work to even get a nomination? You’re acting like a straight up bjtch for no reSon…LL is right …piss on your shoes and not a accomplishment.. LL owns his master…LL is in movies and TV shows .Kanye is only bytches about the music because he fell off….stop posting the same chit you fake oppressed white boy.
Old Man LL shut the F up! You sound like a house slave just because you hosting that shit! F out of here! The Grammys are poisonous blood for our people! Nas nominated 13 times and no Grammys! Man, F those red necks! I’ll piss on that shit too no doubt!!! House slave stop locking those muddy boots!!!!
Nigga stfu….you trolls ruin everything like you do world star hip hop ect….I actually hope that you are killed.. you’re annoying and Kanye West is a old man too…stop disrespecting legends and pretending to be pppl you little whyte phag
You are so ignorant that Mom gave you up! Your daddy left you a long time ago! How in the world you can say some crap like that? Really? What are you accomplishing by saying someone should be killed! You are such a low life with a 2nd grade education!!! You are filth. Come straight out of the gutter!!!
Sorry, This is for Stfuanddieyoulittlesillybitchnigga
I agree with LL….Ye should have pissed in a Yeezy. The Grammys may be one big popularity contest, but they dont got shit to do with artists owning the rights to their own music. Just because you do or don’t own your own catalog doesnt make your catalog popular.
Yep! You are a house slave!!!
I don’t think he should have pissed on the grammy but I think LL is wrong because he is refusing to acknowledge the corruption and power dynamic behind the scenes. The “opinions” of these voters are heavily influenced by money and who the record labels want to push. He is just acting like ppl got it wrong because they dont know any better, but they do know better they choose to play with the careers of hard working artists.
Funny fact: LL Cool J never won a Grammy in he’s life!
dead wrong, nitwit. His first was for Mama Said Knock You Out, in 1992.
Kanye, unless you’re a voting member of NARAS, AND YOU ACTIVELY VOTE EVERY YEAR, then you can shut the eff up, seriously.
You’re wrong you homosexual troll….Ll has had legendary hears and now a star in movies and tv shows. Do research before you troll little illiterate phag .. its ” His” not “he’s” dumb dickrider… do you r research before you post bullchit…phag
LL is a clown for this. I think if there was ever a question of his legitimacy. This is clear cut proof of his clownsmanship lol. Your defending the Grammys? You feel a way about a man pissing in his Grammy award he got himself? Don’t speak in defense of bullshit. Show this type of energy for shit that matters. If your offended by this cause u hosted the Grammys then you’re a clown and shouldn’t be trusted ever.
your momma was a clown for giving birth to a fool like you.
it is going to take more than pissing on a grammy to tame this beast.
I’m glad Kanye is exposing the record industry, but remember Kanye, if slavery was a choice, then you being a fool by signing the contract without fully reading and understanding how that works was a choice. P.S. f**k the grammys and LL, please stop tarnishing your legacy. You already made that godawful song called “Accidental Racist”, now you’re defending a bulls**t Corporate industry who shitted on Hip-Hop from the beginning.
LL has done more for Hip-Hop than Yeezy ever has. Fax.
“If you don’t judge my gold chains, I’ll forget the iron chains.” LL Cool J, 2013
As a Grammy Award winning artist myself I understand what Kanye trying to do but at the same time I can relate to what LL be sayin.
Devante Swing On Spotify?
Maybe! You a fan!?
As far as expressing displeasure go, I‘d still rather take the Grammy pissing than another all-over-the-place tirade from this mad man. Fuck Kanye.
what’s this got to do with masters and slaves? It’s someone taking insult by anothers actions, that’s all. Some people can’t see the forest for the trees
“Ayo b, piss on one of them space shoes b, cmon man” dat gotta be the most new york dinosaur shit I ever heard
LL is a great mc, but Grammy Award sucks ass anyway.
Honestly I think this whole thing is all subliminal. I think using the word “master” when referring to the music is a big part of it I noticed. Kanye likes to repeatedly say how he will “own his masters” like it is some kind of slave trade. Dude thats just what they call the “master recordings” it has nothing to do with slavery
Defend your masters LL…When will you people please stand up for something. Old yellow house slave!!! All ya’ll yellow boys are soft anyway. F the Grammys man! I am not a Kanye fan but he is right on this one. Stand up LL and stop being whipped!!!
Kanye needs to be sent to a mental hospital butt-nekid wearing an open gown and then have his genitals flicked by a CO … #takeyafukinmeds
