LL Cool J and 50 Cent at 2006 MTV Video Music Awards (VMA) at the Radio City Music Hall - Red Carpet - Arrivals. New York City, USA - 31.08.06

The two rap greats teamed up in the studio last year (07) to work on beats and rhymes for LL Cool J's new album, and the duo subsequently put the hip-hop world on notice.

But, after months of working on tracks with 50 Cent, the rap veteran took only the best cuts and went solo.

He says, "I'm not releasing the album he and I were working on. I took a few songs for (new album) Exit 13 and scrapped the rest.

"That's due to the fact that I don't think people want to hear me rhyming like 50."
