Piss<\/a>-soaked plaques are at the center of one of LL Cool J<\/a>\u2019s most cherished Ol\u2019 Dirty Bastard<\/a> memories.<\/p>\n

The story, to be clear, has sporadically made the rounds over the years<\/a>, meaning this isn\u2019t exactly new information. Still, nothing beats LL himself recalling his initial reaction to the perplexing act of urination in question, not to mention his respect for ODB from that point forward.<\/p>\n

\u201cI remember one time [the late Violator founder] Chris Lighty called me up, he was like, \u2018Yo, you gotta come down here. You gotta come to Chung King Studios,\u2019\u201d the two-time Grammy winner said on a recent episode of Salute the Sample on SiriusXM\u2019s Rock the Bells Radio. \u201cI said, \u2018What’s wrong?\u2019 He said, \u2018For some reason, Ol’ Dirty Bastard just came in here, broke all your plaques, and pissed on \u2018em.\u201d<\/p>\n

LL continued, notably while laughing uproariously: \u201cI said, \u2018What I do?\u2019 I didn’t even understand it. I didn’t even understand it! I couldn’t understand it. Loved him ever since.\u201d<\/p>\n

This slice of hip-hop history is far from the only one associated with Chung King Studios. The New York City space, led by producer John King, welcomed a slew of superstars through its doors across nearly three decades of operation. <\/p>\n

The artist formerly known<\/a> as Kanye West<\/a>, for example, put the space to use during sessions for his 2007 album Graduation. Other artists who recorded at Chung King include Lauryn Hill<\/a>, Beastie Boys<\/a>, Lil Wayne<\/a>, and Amy Winehouse<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Piss-soaked plaques are at the center of one of LL Cool J\u2019s most cherished Ol\u2019 Dirty Bastard memories.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":542178,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[93,61,60,278],"class_list":["post-542177","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-music"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/542177","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=542177"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/542177\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/542178"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=542177"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=542177"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=542177"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
