Yo.. "Hello✦ is this 1-900-LL Cool J?"
Yeah whassup?✦ "Can you tell me what you do when you're coolin✦ out?"
Yo check this out
Now when I'm coolin✦ out, no time for a granny✦
Just a fly girl in t-shirt and panties
"Can LL screw?" Man, can he!
I tell you what, give up the fanny✦
Cause on a bedroom tune, J's swift
Not too big, but nothin✦ to play with
In addition,✦ you on a mission✦
You need to audition✦ for another position✦
Doin damage✦ is a crew tradition✦
Name your next al-blum intermission✦
You're full of preservatives -- plus
You're too conservative
I'm full of flair, savoir✦ faire, debonair
There's✦ no competition✦ for this here
So don't waste your time and breath
I'm givin✦ you all a big F
MC's I envelop
As the song goes on, the rhyme develops
I'm asiatic,✦ acrobatic,✦ charismatic✦
You don't want no static
Anyway,✦ I ain't havin✦ it
When I see the microphone -- I'm grabbin it
Plug it in and take charge
LL XL, Xtra-Large
KnowhatI'msayin? Peace
{*phone rings three times*}✦
Hello?✦
Hello✦ whassup✦ girl?
How you doin girl? I been tryin to call you all day
Word up I was talkin✦ to LL he was kickin✦ some mo' HYPED✦ up rhymes✦ to me
Word, I spoke to him today✦ too - them rhymes✦ WAS pumpin✦
Well not to cut you short but I gotta✦ go cause my man is here
Alright
See-ya

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"You're full of preservatives -- plus / You're too conservative"

① The opponent is artificial and lacks freshness, like processed food.② The opponent is socially or creatively unadventurous and stale in their approach to rap.

"I'm givin you all a big F"

① A grade of failure given to the competitors as if they were students.② A censored way of alluding to the phrase 'F-you' (a hostile dismissal).

Strong command of vocal cadence and performance presence

Effective use of the 'phone call' trope to establish listener intimacy

High density of internal rhymes that drive the kinetic energy of the track

Reliance on somewhat dated sexual innuendo and filler content

Low depth in metaphorical or thematic complexity

Minimal use of double entendres beyond basic punchlines
