LL Cool J, Saweetie Open Up About Their “Proclivities” In New Video
LL Cool J has returned with a sexy new video for his song, “Proclivities,” featuring an assist from Saweetie.
The visuals dropped on Friday (Aug. 9) and feature the icon in a house full of scantily clad women in shimmery ensembles. The single is reminiscent of the sexier songs in his discography, most notably, “Jingling Baby,” which is referenced by Saweetie during the song’s hook.
Scenes show LL teasing to take his shirt off while ladies around him pose and touch various whips, ropes, and other kinky paraphernalia. Cool J sounds as sharp as ever on the track, cleverly painting a picture of lust and longing for an unnamed romantic partner. “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,” LL raps on the track.”
The Queens native detailed that the song is one of his favorite songs from his upcoming LP, The FORCE, (Frequencies Of Real Creative Energy), which is set to release on Friday (Sept. 6). The album will include 14 songs with features from Snoop Dogg, Rick Ross, Fat Joe, Sona Jobarteh, Busta Rhymes, Nas, Eminem, Mad Squablz, and more. Additionally, every song on the LP will be produced by A Tribe Called Quest’s Q-Tip.
Elsewhere, LL recently set the record straight regarding rumors of battling Jay-Z at a New York City nightclub. During a press tour for his new album, the icon sat down with Charlamagne Tha God to discuss his legacy, new work, and longstanding rumors. One of these rumors, in particular, featured Hov and Cool J allegedly battling a random club in the 90s.
“Okay let’s talk about what it really is. First of all, I didn’t rap a verse from ‘Funkadelic Relic.’ Okay? That’s the first f**king thing. It’s bullsh*t. It’s not true,” he said. “What did happen, though, is I see the guy, he’s in the club trying to flash money to get my attention and I’m looking like, okay. And then his man Sauce [Money] came up to me and was rappin.’”
“So, I had a couple of rhymes… remember, I’m albums in now…You know, these are guys that ain’t had that deal. So, when I ain’t had a deal, I had a suitcase of rhymes. Now I’m albums in. Sauce said some rhymes. I said a couple of rhymes. Then I said a little bit of a song, ‘Ain’t No Stopping This.’ A little bit. Then Jay came up rapping. I was out of rhymes, b. In no scenario was I fully loaded and ready to rhyme. If I was, I’m not exactly the first rapper that you wanna get into that sh*t with.”
