LL Cool J says he's backing his fellow New Yorker 50 Cent in the hip hop star’s album chart battle with Kanye West.
The rappers' albums, Kanye's 'Graduation' and 50 Cent's 'Curtis', both hit stores on September 11.
LL Cool J says he'll be buying ten copies of pal 50 Cent's album to help him be victorious.
LL says he’ll buy 10 copies of 50’s album to help him claim the number one spot.
"I've heard some of Fifty's music, and I'm rooting for him,” LL Cool J says.
Adding: "He's produced music for me and I'm going to buy ten copies of his album. He's my man and I'm gonna ride with him. Nothing against Kanye, but I'm a team player.
"This is New York, everybody better be rooting for 50."
