The platinum-selling rap star spoke Saturday at the Hip Hop Summit on Financial Empowerment. It mixed stars with financial experts to offer advice on home ownership and personal finance.
"The biggest misconception probably comes from the hip-hop community that the money lasts forever," LL Cool J said. "You have to do the right thing with it."
Fellow chart-topping rapper Nas said it was important to teach young fans about financial responsibility. "We've got to think about growing old in this game."

I met Ladies Love (LL) Cool J at the airport. You wouldn't know he's a rap star if it wasn't for the pack that run with him. He was down to earth and seemed to be a great person to be around. While I didn't ask for an autograph, I sat about 2 seats away from him in the waiting area and watched how he handled those that did ask for his autograph... he handled himself well

Yer. I've only heard good things about this guy. Sounds like he's more on the planet than most stars.
