About

LL COOL J is a two-time Grammy Award-winning hip-hop icon whose trailblazing career is singular in its longevity and accolades: 2021 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee, millions of albums sold, the first rapper to receive a Kennedy Center Honor, successful actor and author, NAACP Image Award winner, co-founder/CEO of the Rock The Bells hip-hop festival and so much more. LL COOL J exploded onto the scene in the 1980s with pioneering hit singles like the rap-rock hybrid “Rock the Bells” and beatbox classics like “I Need a Beat” and “I Need Love.” The rapper’s confrontational, occasionally romantic lyricism would propel the genre to new heights on 1990’s multi-platinum Mama Said Knock You Out. Considered one of rap’s first superstars, LL COOL J has performed on sold-out tours with legends like Run-D.M.C., Janet Jackson and the Beastie Boys.

    One amazing night, celebrating Hip Hop with some of the best artist to do it. Floor seats are the way to go for an event like this. The sound and visuals were fantastic!!! They only negative for me was the concert merchandise was hoping for better gear.

    NYC ol stool party in the T Dot...LL knocks it out!

    by LisaG on 2023-08-22

    LLCoolJ did it up! He brought an ol stool NYC hip hop party to Toronto! Best concert I've been to. An icon celebrating and honoring a social movement (ie the birth of hip hop). I grew up with hip hop. Thank you to LL for bringing the band, crazy amazing DJs and other hip hop artists to the T dot. The energy was palpable and you could hear everyone singing along. What a great vibe. LLs passion for the music resounded above all else. Much love to all the performers....you represented well. Rock the bells!

    A fantastic experience checked of my bucket list

    by Mumsy on 2023-08-22

    I invited a dear friend that would appreciate LL Cool J's in concert. We both had the best time ever. LL has been my #1 since day 1, and my best friend's #1 is Queen Latifah since day 1. So it was the best surprise ever and the ultimate concert ever! Sound was amazing and the light show was fantastic

    LL and guests were fantastic

    by LucyB on 2023-08-22

    Performance was amazing!! Security was terrible at Scotiabank Arena or at minimum their policies!! My group was asked to leave during the concert because apparently another group of women reported we intimidated them. We had zero interaction with anyone. Just enjoying the fantastic concert and had to leave early. Complaining group scored our seats...we are not impressed 🙄

    Most nostalgic concert

    by Christina L on 2023-08-22

    Best show I have ever been too for Hip Hop All the artist performed with such talent and they all were true to their craft. Everyone in the crowd was so into the show and it just took me back to when I was younger and the first time I heard these tracks. I have seen Jadakiss twice before and he never disappoints as he is phenomenal to watch live. The original sound and the instrumental was beyond and I loved the authenticity of the DJ’s scratching records. LL Cool J was incredible and it was nostalgic to watch Queen Latifah and Monie Love perform together. The Roots were something else as they are the musical geniuses. Such a one in a life time experience.

    It’s always a pleasure seeing LL in his element. He is the G.O.A.T! That concert had me on feet from start to finish. Latifah, The Roots, Jadakiss, Z-Trip, DJ Jazzy Jeff. Everyone rocked it! It is a must see. I liked it so much that I bought tix to the Boston show.

    Absolutely amazing

    by Sarah N on 2023-08-22

    I was lucky enough to get front row seats and the concert was absolutely amazing! The Roots set the tone, DJ Z Trip killed it on the decks, loved Queen Latifah and LL proved he is still the G.O.A.T. Seen him 3 times now and his energy is insane. My only complaint is he wore a tshirt and not a tank top (I wanted to see his arms the whole concert lol)

    Venue was great. Found our seats easily. LL was great.

    by StrawBerry on 2023-08-22

    Only issue we left theough the wrong door and I was explaining to the security guard. But she said she cant help me. So I ended up getting lost outside took 30mins to find where I parked. I just think they need to have a bit more compassion for people. They could have let me come back in search me if necessary so that I could have remembered how I got in. The crowd and such eas a bit overwhelming. Just sucks that security was not helpful.

    Amazing!

    by Lovincooljames on 2023-08-22

    LL Cool J has been on my bucket list/vision board for years. Queen Latifah, Monie Love, Jadakiss, The Roots, DJ Jazzy Jeff and DJ Tripp just made it even better. Concert was moved up two months because LL wanted the production to be the way he wanted it. Was hard on the pocketbook travelling from Nova Scotia and changing flights and hotels but was worth it. Love that he told the audience he felt he owed this one to his fans as hip hop was his first love. What a way to celebrate 50 years of Hip Hop!
