LL COOL J Chops It Up With West Coast Supergroup Mount Westmore

Mount Westmore (E-40, Too $hort, Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg) were guests on Rock The Bells radio, where they were interviewed by fellow Hip-Hop legend and founder, LL COOL J. During the interview, the rap legends discussed everything from having integrity while you doing business, the importance of fine-tuning your vision, how to maintain success and longevity, and of course, the continued influence of Hip-Hop. Ice Cube and E-40 remembered the huge impact LL had on them when they were young.

"When I first heard you, I was laying down in my bed listening to KDAY late at night. Greg Mack was like 'Yo we got this new song out on Def Jam,'" Cube recalled, referencing LL's classic track "I Need A Beat." "I rose up in my bed like, 'This is what I've been waiting for all day.' Hip-Hop was so rare back then."

 In a meeting of legends, Roxanne Shanté, interviewed the duo in an exclusive, entertaining interview for Rock The Bells in celebration of their star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

"Ladies, listen, it was an honor for me to be chosen," said Roxanne, who also was a guest speaker at the ceremony. "It was an honor for me to get up there. You know, we have so many Hip-Hop sisters, and for you guys to choose me ... I just felt really special."

Super producer Hit-Boy pulled up to Too $hort's Don't Stop Rappin' on Rock The Bells Radio, where the duo touched on a range of topics, from how the Cali producer got his start, hit records, and more.

The Furious Five

One of the highlights of Rock The Bells radio, The Furious Five has become a fan favorite. After all, Hip-Hop has long proven a good top 5 debate is always on the table, and hearing fans and rap icons list off their faves each week on the radio, is always cause for a good discussion.

Bun B Talks Houston Rap with Slim Thug (aka Big Slim)

Houston rhymer Slim Thug, now known as Big Slim, stopped by rap legend Bun B's radio show 2 Trill With Bun B. Bun has long said his show is about supporting southern Hip-Hop, so Slim's visit was especially fitting, as the two Houston mainstays talked everything from relationships to Houston rap culture.
