LL COOL J – Murdergram Deux Video ft. Eminem

For the die-hard aficionados of classic hip-hop, LL Cool J and Eminem have crafted a nostalgic journey with their latest music video, “Murdergram Deux,” released on Wednesday, September 11. Directed by JakeTheShooter, the video features the two icons revisiting and reimagining iconic moments from hip-hop history.

The video shoot took LL Cool J and Eminem to Detroit, where they delved into the visual aesthetics of significant hip-hop eras. LL Cool J, a New York hip-hop legend, reenacted his 1987 “Bigger and Deffer” (BAD) album cover art, bringing it into the modern era nearly four decades later. He creatively updated his “Going Back to Cali” video, stepping into a black-and-white fishbowl scene, complete with his signature bucket hat, infusing the old-school vibe with a contemporary flair.

Eminem, paying tribute to another hip-hop giant, adopted the emperor’s guise as he recreated the cover of Big Daddy Kane’s “Long Live the Kane.” The collaboration didn’t stop at individual accolades; together, LL Cool J and Eminem also paid homage to the iconic 1996 Death Row Records VIBE magazine cover, underlining their respect and reverence for the history of hip-hop.

This blend of historical homage with modern execution highlights the duo’s respect for their roots and bridges the gap between different generations of hip-hop enthusiasts, making “Murdergram Deux” a significant piece in the genre’s evolving narrative.
