If hip-hop had its own dictionary, a picture of LL Cool J would show up next to the definitions for credibility (embraced by the streets and the suburbs, respected by the fellas and as the name explains, loved by the ladies); loyalty (recording all twelve albums for his first and only label, Def Jam Records); and consistency (six of his twelve releases are multi-platinum, and he has six gold singles). Over the course of his 20-plus year career, James Todd Smith has sold over 20 million albums worldwide, broken countless hearts along the way. He has taken his leading role in the creation and explosion of hip-hop music and translated it into leading roles on television with In The House and his newest of 20 film appearances, Last Holiday. He gives back through Camp Cool J, and debuts his Todd Smith and TS clothing lines this spring.
