Last Friday (August 9), the legendary rapper shared the music video for ‘Proclivities’ with Saweetie. It marks the third offering from LL Cool J’s upcoming album ‘THE FORCE’.
The track sees LL Cool J and Saweetie trade bars, both showing off their signature flows, as they rap about seductive scenarios. Cool J raps over the raunchy track: “Damn baby I don’t know if you dance or not / I’d love to see you on the pole / I don’t know if you conservative or if you a freak / But I’d love to see you lose control.”

Previously speaking to NME on ‘THE FORCE’, LL Cool J said he wanted to be “an anomaly” and show you can be “able to take that much time off and show people what’s possible”.
“Hip-hop hasn’t seen this kind of story,” he explained.” We’re not really used to artists being able to take 10, 15 years off and then re-emerge with a project and it immediately goes to the next level and has creative impact. We’re kind of used to people either [being] out the whole time and consistently be making music, or they’re gone and that’s it.”
Elsewhere, in an interview with the Associated Press, the rapper shared the process of recording the album as relearning his craft. “[I was] going back to the drawing board and learning how to rap again,” he said. “The LeBrons, the Stephs, the Jordans and the Kobes, they all go back to the drawing board, they always try to make themselves better. I wasn’t trying to do trendy, and I wasn’t trying to recapture anything I did before.”
