[Intro]
Ayo this is the infinite, intelligent, extravagant and eloquent
That shit y'all talkin' is irrelevant
I put it down from the gutter to the tenement
It's LL Cool J, nigga, everything I do is excellent
And I got to represent, Q-Boro, the thorough
Y'knawmean? We get down, we get down baby
Check this shit out right here, uh

[Verse]
E Pluribus Unum is the album I'ma drop
It'll make your bitch nipples as hard as rocks
Givin' head to the Glock, pretend it's hard cock
Splashin' niggas, I came slow through the block
I, the original, visual, individual
Ten times platinum, your career's lookin' critical
Rich from this, motherfuck bein' a criminal
Look in your bitch eyes, the vibe is subliminal
You wanna freestyle? Fuck that
I need at least seven figures to even touch that
But since everybody was underestimatin' my format
I dropped Ill Bomb and now niggas want more of that
Ain't a rapper dead or alive fuckin' with me
Ask the last bitch that tried to come and get me
Talk about paper, I can talk about broads
I can talk about movies, I can talk about awards
Fuck the fantasies, yo I got all four
And 2001 will be mine, by law
Why'd I name it 'Greatest Of All Times?'
Because for fifteen years I kept y'all standin' in line
Lovin' the way I shine and my lyrics combine
With the ruggedest, illest beats that Def Jam can find
Fuck them other niggas with their 9 or 10 hits
My hits run deep as the emotions of your bitch
Back in the days it was the M-5 stick
But now the Bentley Azure get more whores on the dick
This one's for Clue and my Rikers Island niggas
That remember when I came through
The bing O B C C H D M 2 C 74
Little Nasi and the crew, y'all niggas come home

[Outro]
Word up, the new album gon' be the shit baby
Ain't no doubt about it, E Pluribus Unum
Out of many, one, The G.O.A.T., Greatest Of All Time...

LL Cool J

Deriving his name from the statement “Ladies Love Cool James,” LL Cool J became a superstar rapper after his Def Jam debut in 1984. He mixed a hardcore hip-hop style from songs like “I’m Bad” with R&B style on songs like “I Need Love,” which led him to multi-platinum success and several awards. He would later venture into movies and television, write several books, and start different business ventures.

Born January 14, 1968, Queens, New York native James Todd Smith began rapping at the age of nine and started to seriously pursue rapping when he was 16 years old after his grandfather bought him music equipment, which he used to create a demo tape that was sent to numerous labels. He was signed by upstart independent label Def Jam, working with founders Russell Simmons and Rick Rubin to release his debut single “I Need a Beat” in 1984, which sold over 100,000 copies. This success helped Def Jam secure a distribution deal with Columbia Records.

LL released his debut album Radio in 1985, which achieved platinum status with help from the hit singles “I Can’t Live Without My Radio” and “Rock the Bells.” After working exclusively with Rick Rubin on his debut, LL worked with the West Coast production crew L.A. Posse on his second album Bigger and Deffer, released in 1987. The album featured two of LL’s signature the hard-edged “I’m Bad” and the “rap ballad” “I Need Love,” which was a Top 20 pop hit, helping the album achieve double platinum status.
