    LL Cool J & Eminem Recreate Classic Hip-Hop Moments for Nostalgic ‘Murdergram Deux’ Video

    This one is for the veteran hip-hop heads. LL Cool J and Eminem take fans back in time as they recreate some memorable moments for their “Murdergram Deux” music video, which was released on Wednesday (Sept. 11).

    LL and Em traveled to Detroit to pack on the nostalgia for the JakeTheShooter-directed clip. The New York legend steps back into 1987 to remake the Bigger and Deffer ( BAD ) album cover art nearly four decades later.

    The “Loungin” rapper puts a modern twist on his “Going Back to Cali” visual while stepping into the black-and-white fishbowl scene with his signature bucket hat. But it’s Eminem who gets the emperor treatment as he pays homage to Big Daddy Kane’s Long Live the Kane album cover. The pair also salutes Death Row’s legendary VIBE cover from 1996.

    “Murdergram Deux” arrived ahead of LL Cool J’s The Force as a single, and marks the first team-up between the rap icons.

    “Give blessings to my disciples, professional I’m a sniper/ Like eight miles away, me and Marshall doing murders/ With dirty burners, break them down and melt them in the furnace,” LL Cool J raps over Q-Tip’s production.

    An unfinished version of the track was leaked earlier this year, which frustrated LL. “It’s not A.I., but it’s not official. It’s not official, it’s not the right version,” he told Raymond T in late June. “People just walk all in the kitchen, touching the rolls before they’re done — you know, how your grandmother slaps your hand when you try to check the pots early. It’s not A.I. — it’s a real joint.”

    LL Cool J’s The Force landed on Sept. 6 and serves as his first album since 2013’s Authentic. The LP also features Snoop Dogg, Busta Rhymes, Rick Ross, Saweetie, Nas and more.
