LL Cool J is telling young men that they need to seek out positive father figures or else they’ll face the consequences.

“In black culture in general, in African-American culture, the least discussed thing amongst men is the fact that they really wish they had fathers… There’s a lot of single black women who did the best that they could and that’s a beautiful thing, but they don’t know how necessary a father is in a kid’s life and how much guys miss that deep down inside…That’s why they gravitate towards gangs. That’s why they gravitate toward older guys who may lead them in a negative direction, because they just want to be embraced by a man.”

I’ll save my social commentary, but I agree with him; that’s why I have a hard time saying “congratulations” when I hear that a young woman with no partner is expecting.

LL Cool J debuted his new clothing line “Todd Smith” at Macy’s in Culver City, California on Saturday.

For some reason “Todd Smith” sounds a little more upscale and classy than sparkled shirts but you have to start somewhere. I guess he’d rather keep it young and fresh instead of classy and mature.

Either way I wish him the best.
