LL Cool J and Busta Rhymes are calling cats out on this ditty to the tune of LL’s 1990 hit ‘Jingling Baby’. These muscular Hip Hop vets still sound better than most. To call this beat minimal would be an understatement though… And yet, strangely enough, there’s still room for synths.
While you give “Killin’ ‘Em” a spin a fun little game could be trying to count how many people LL takes stabs at in his verse with lines like “Wanna impress me? Start manning up/ Say something that sounds like you piss standin up.” To start you off I’ll tell you he he takes a stab a Donald Trump, but I guess we should’ve know that guy would be a rap punchline sooner or later.
