LL Cool J says he's not swearing on album

LL Cool J, currently touring the US, has admitted his record label, Def Jam, would have preferred him to wait for his album to be released before touring. "If I was them, I'd want the album out first, too," he admitted to reporters. "But, it's like, it can't always be about the economics." The album, ‘10’ is due out in September and will be LL's last for Def Jam. But this didn’t affect his decision to not go with his label’s wishes. "I wasn't listening to them that much anyway. No, it wasn't because this is the last album. I just want to go out and touch the people, man, have some fun." The new album, like 1990’s ‘Mama Said Knock You Out’, contains no swearing. "I didn't feel like 3 or 4 million or 300,000 or 400,000 people needed to hear that right now," he said. "I just think during this time, why not have some positive energy?"
