LL recently told The New York Magazine that he is willing to talk things out with Jay-Z and Def Jam. “We need to meet and figure it out,” LL said. “It’s tough. Let’s be real. You know, they have an artist [Jay-Z] running a label full of artists. Okay? That’s like Calvin Klein running a fashion label and Varvatos and everyone else is underneath him.” “What kind of sense does that make? This hierarchy? It doesn’t work for me,” he continued. “I’m going to approach [the meeting with Jay-Z] from a positive, optimistic viewpoint. Hopefully it will work.” After his last album flopped, LL blamed Def Jam for not giving his project the same kind of promotion that Jay-Z received. Things seemed to be headed to a boiling point when LL revealed to Block TV last week that he wasn’t pleased with Jay-Z’s line on 50’s “Get Money “ (remix). On the track , Jay-Z rhymed , “I'm already the G.O.A.T, next stop is the Billy” Throughout his lengthy career , LL has referred to himself as the G.O.A.T (Greatest of All Time) "I love the competition. I'm about to smack some cats here soon," LL told Blok TV. "They're talking a little reckless out there. They done stepped in... got themselves in trouble." Day’s later , Jay would deny taking shots at LL saying: "I wasn't thinking about him. I'm being very honest. I really believe myself to be the greatest of all time. I was just trying to have a slick line. I just thought it was a fun play on words." 
After giving rap fans the indication last week that he would lyrically attack Jay-Z, LL Cool J seems to have changed his tune and claims he wants to bury the hatchet with Def Jam and Jigga.
