Sources say that Rapper LL Cool J (James Todd Smith III) lashed out at his record label’s boss. Def Jam, LL Cool J’s record label who he has been with since 1985 is currently not supporting him as he would like. The label is currently ran by rap artist Jay-Z who just recently unretired from his own recording career and released an album entitled “Kingdom Come”.

Claims are that LL Cool J’s recent album “Todd Smith” was not promoted adequately due to Jay-Z concentrating on writing and recording on his own projects.

LL Cool J stated, “How am I gonna re-sign with competition? I’m not an idiot. I can’t depend on that man to promote my record while he’s somewhere writing rhymes. I’m LL Cool J. I ain’t doing that.”

Although LL Cool J, has already recorded and released eleven albums under the Def Jam label sources are saying that his forthcoming album may be his last with the label.

LL Cool J will be starring as an undercover L.A. cop in a new TV drama “The Man”. The title brings to mind “The Man” which Samuel Jackson played in as an undercover detective.

However, in the new drama he will play as a cop who fights crime while raising three troubled kids he has adopted. One boy has been abused and continues to act out his aggression, his adopted daughter is a former streetwalker who he’s helped enroll in community college while his skateboarding adopted son is a recovering drug addict.

“CSI” creator Anthony Zuiker says LL’s “The Man” character was inspired by the rapper/actor’s real life struggle to balance being a famous performing artist with his responsibilities as husband and father of four.

“He can be an amazing multi-platinum rapper and an amazing father,” Zuiker said of LL. “He has such an amazing spirit and an amazing connection with the audience.”

Five months ago LL Cool J released his self-titled album Todd Smith under his longtime label Def Jam. LL Cool J says this will be his last album with Def Jam.

“For me, I needed to go and work with somebody who really had my best interests at heart,” he said.

Is LL Cool J receiving what his heart desires from the G-Unit crew since it seems as though they have created a tite knited bond recently.

No word on the title of the album or the release date.
