LL Cool J concluded one of 2020’s most eventful weekends with a freestyle highlighting the death of George Floyd and overall racial injustice against Black people in America. The passionate freestyle follows a brief moment of controversy based on a tweet he wrote about biracial families.
“For 400 years you had your knees on our necks,” LL Cool J rapped as he leads the freestyle with a reference and connection between slavery and the death of George Floyd.

The Radio rapper proceeded onto a play on words, ultimately molding a moment of recognition for those who have lost their lives to an act of violent radical injustice.
