LL Cool J: "It Has To Be Something Original..."

Don't call it a comeback, but the legend will return...

Legendary rapper LL Cool J has continued talks of bringing out a post-retirement album and said that he isn’t going to let commercial records dictate the music he makes.

The 42 year-old said that there isn’t a time limit as to when he might put out his next album, but he wants it to be unexpected, and something fans will appreciate.

He told Extra: "I'm starting to think about it and I am going to do it. The key is for me is that when I do it, it has to be really important and it has to be something original. It can't be me trying to sound like what's acceptable because this is what is played on the radio today because that is so tired and boring and no one really cares about it.

“It has to be something with some substance and some depth. Until I can create that kind of record I'm not putting anything out. I don't care how many years it takes."
