Kris Jenner should host next year! She could "sponsor" an "award" for fucking her kids collaborations with Kanye and making porn artist development.

Kristen Wiig, or some other comedian. I have no problem with LL Cool J, but I think a comedian does a better job of keeping people entertained over a span of hours.

For some reason I though Billy Crystal was a host of the Grammys for years but wiki says it was the Oscars. lol Kristen Wiig herself hosted a film awards recently too right?

Eddie hasn't been funny for almost 15 years now. I think he would bomb lol

When Eddie Murphy stars in a CBS show that the network can cross-promote, he'll get the gig.

I say LL forever!

His sincerity seems to vibe with the audience.

He really seems like he wants to be there.

The reason ya'll want a comedian is because he'll host the awards like the comments in a Grammy thread.

Which is why it's sad he feel off so hard. I'm really wondering why he's done awful movies for over a decade. I mean... he knows what's funny or not. It forgivable doing a bad movie or two. But an entire decade of bad movies? Eddie... bruh.

Magnum Opus: The Making of LL Cool J's "Rock The Bells"

Have you ever wondered how your favorite classic rap song was made? In Complex TV's Magnum Opus, these monumental records from our past are revisited. With in-depth interviews from the artists involved to first-hand accounts of respected rap peers and critics of the time, viewers get a blueprint of how the song was created, what impact it had, and how its legacy continues to live on. New episodes of Magnum Opus can be found exclusively on Complex TV.

"LL Cool J is hard as HELL/Battle anybody I don't care who you TELL!" Those words were recited by a then 17-year-old LL Cool J on a song called "Rock The Bells" in 1985. The lyrics would go down as some of the greatest opening lines in rap history. By the time Rick Rubin's unforgettably rough and raw beat kicks in on the song, LL Cool J takes you on a furious lyrical tirade in a way the world had never really heard before. Although LL had already put out a handful of records prior to "Rock The Bells," this is the song that really proved the self-proclaimed GOAT rapper was a phenomenon. "Rock The Bells" isn't just one of LL's best songs, it's one of the best rap songs ever.

What's important to understand about "Rock The Bells" is that there's was really no precedent for it. The early days of hip-hop, from the late '70s to the mid-80s, were great but rap was still an emerging genre, so kids like LL didn't really have a proper template for their careers. While he was still a teenager, LL not only embarked on what would become one of hip-hop's most illustrious careers but he also helped define what we expect from every rapper that came after him. When rap fans think of the golden age of the '80s hip-hop, they often cite GOATs like Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, and KRS-One—and yet in most cases, LL precedes all of them. Sadly, many younger rap fans might know LL more for things like acting and hosting the Grammys these days, but none of that should take away from his status as a legendary rapper.

To document this classic record, we talked to everyone from LL Cool J to Rick Rubin but also Russell Simmons, LL's DJ Cut Creator, DMC of Run-D.M.C., former Def Jam Publicist Bill Adler, as well as journalists like Bonz Malone and Karen Hunter. Together, they all provide a look into how this song was made, the impact it had on the streets, and why LL Cool J is who he is.

Your post is the "winning" post...The GRAMMYS ceremony mirrors the Golden Globes in that they don't need a host...Let the Presenters provide the banter and let the artist perform...This year's GRAMMYS was a Ballad-heavy snoozefest, so thy need NEW Producers or something...
