Don't call it a comeback. Tap into the latest episode of The Shop with Lena Waithe, Mo Gilligan, Trent Williams, Teddy Swims and the legendary LL COOL J.

LL walks the crew through what led to and inspired his upcoming album, produced by Q-Tip, and longevity in Hip-Hop. Trent opens up about his cancer diagnosis, how that changed his approach to life and the experience of making it to the Super Bowl. Mo tells hilarious stories from his stand-up appearances and coming up in South London. Teddy talks about how covering classic songs led to his blowing up on social media and breaks down his genre-less style of music.

I'm so happy to see Mo ❤. As a British, The Shop is my little Black US secret so I'm both surprised and proud of our Mo G 😊. His Agent must be Top Drawer.

What part of uk you from. Ive been to Nottingham a few times
The advice from LL to Lena was priceless, please don't end The Chi anytime soon, it can go on like the soaps and I will continue to watch it.
Trent Williams’s story is amazing. So glad he’s here to tell it. God bless him. 🙏
I love that LL is keeping it 100% Authentic and honest and being real. In a world full of people who are afraid to give there honest opinion with out fear, to watch a successful, confident, humble man who is sure about who he is as a human being is a breath of fresh air. I love this episode.

Salute to LL Cool J. Definitely an icon in hip hop. He always has some helpful advice in his interviews.
Thank you, Mr. Williams, for sharing your incredible story. I hope men, especially Black, pay close heed. Do regular check-ups & exams, and get second and third opinions. Do not put your health and wellness on the back burner.
He said “how old was Picasso when he did his best work?” LL’s words are deep. I felt that shit. And everything he said after that. He’s GOAT.
Love Lena Waithe and her body of work. She's so talented and already an icon on her way to legendary status.
Gwaan Mo, yuh reach 👏🏾👏🏾💪🏿💪🏿👊🏿👊🏿
L the LEGEND...Btw, tht Nas run is not talked about enough, pure greatness. Dope show
Love seeing Mo amongst some greats and one of the hip hop gods, well deserved. Team Mo all day, salute the shop!!! United we stand…….🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽
The freestyle he gave was legendary… Jesus
LL is right, the CHI has been dope. So much room to continue and grow. Shouldn’t feel like it’s been on too long yet. All love either way

LL was dropping jewels!!!
I am really enjoying this show. Y'all speaking from the heart and being real. LL Cool J, you are so encouraging and inspiring which is a blessing to see. Lena you are a great writer and your films are amazing keep up the good work. Y'all just keep doing well. We need y'all.
Yes MO!!!! 🙌🏾🎉
LL talking about the flute was killing Mo! 🤣🤣🤣
Lena is brilliant. A needed voice and super sharp. LL's an OG (among the greats no doubt. Love his music) - but his path / opinion is different and that's.. his. Trust your gut / skill with the choices Lena (The Chi and beyond, trust the hunch about the Chi ending. Smart.). And thank you for Queen and Slim! Huge fan of Andre 3k too and he can play as many flutes as he wants man! He doesn't need to be the greatest flute player ever, his efforts bring meaning and joy (no matter to how many) ..and that's good enough.
LL speakin truth and power!!! Righteous fury🤝
LL is that guy!
Wooow, salute to Moe on this platform. Such a cool look for him, the UK
Thank You to “The Shop “ It was such a Knowledgeable and Enjoyable Conversation with LL Cool J along with Lena Waite S7 !! Please keep the Meaningful and Inspiring Conversations coming!!..Love Me some LLCoolJ!!🔥🔥❤️❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽👊🏽✌🏽✌🏽😎🥰
DAMN SHE DID QUEEN AND SLIM 😳🔥🔥🔥🔥
I'm old school and I still don't think LL gets his props. At one time LL was the biggest rapper out. He actually had the rap game in a choke hold. He was the epitome of The GOAT 🐐
Spit That, LL Cool J!
All the seasons of The Shop are a learning experience. What the guests bring to the table there’s always add to my tool belt at 65. The inspirational and creative moments that have me sharing with my adult children and on social media
This is a true LL master class!!! 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Dammmm LL Cool J is so handsome!
Damn..had no idea about Trent smh crazy bruh God bless him
big up mo! luv from the uk luton my guy!
Let 3Stacks do what we wants. He solidified himself in the rap game already (Top 1 imo). A straight GOAT 👑👑
MO!!!!!! LENA!!!!! LL!!!!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾❤️
LL said his last album was not impactful. He was correct; the sales weren't really there; however, I highly enjoy listening to that album TODAY!
LL Cool J is inspiring. Good to see positive growth in everyone
Your attitude determines your altitude.
Mo must feel soo out of place but love this for him👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 Onwards and upwards wards
Great show everyone
Interesting shop talk peace and blessings to you 🙏 all
Interesting deep interview I love ❤️ it.
Great episode. Beautiful minds and great characters. Much Love and Blessings from Germany...The Shop is a great revelation of authenticity, love, passion and discipline!
What a amazing and funny episode it was a little bit of everything just like a actual barbershop. The Trent cancer story got me, just hearing and seeing the reaction of the nurse getting ready to tier up after getting the news to not to focus on football and focus on spending time with ur daughter's and making sure all your affairs are good because you don't have alot of time left got emotional 🥺But Gob Bless you that u are doing good now.
I didn’t know she did all that shit!! She’s dope!!!!

This is one of my favourite channels. Can you put the subtitle in English for deaf and hard-of-hearing people?
would love to see an Asian talent on here...People like Eddie Huang, Jeff Staples, or Bobby hundreds who can speak on the relationship between black and brown + Asian in the community and neighborhoods.
Come on LL let 3 stacks do his thing! The album is great regardless of what you think or not. TBH 3 Stacks can say the same thing about you... Not the acting!
