A statue of LL Cool J in his native Queens does more than just stand there

Transcript¹

The bust² shows the rapper in his signature bucket hat and gold chain. A solar-powered radio bumps his tunes⁴ so the level on his power meter will not decrease.

(SOUNDBITE OF CHIP WICKHAM'S "BLUE TO RED")

A MARTINEZ, HOST:

Good morning. I'm A Martinez.

(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT MY RADIO")

LL COOL J: (Rapping) My stereo's thumping⁵ like a savage⁶ beast.

MARTINEZ: A new statue of LL Cool J in his native Queens does more than just stand there. The bust shows the rapper in his signature bucket hat and gold chain. And a solar-powered radio bumps his tune³ - you know, so the level in his power meter will not decrease. Because whether it's in the flesh or cast in bronze, that man needs his radio.

在他的家乡皇后区，一尊酷酷J的雕像不仅仅是站在那里

半身像上的说唱歌手戴着他标志性的桶形帽子和金项链。一台太阳能收音机会干扰他的音乐，这样他的电能表上的电平就不会降低。

（奇普·威克姆的《从蓝到红》的配音）

马丁内斯，主持人：

早上好我是马丁内斯。

（歌曲《没有收音机我活不下去》的配音）

（说唱）我的立体声像野兽一样砰砰响。

马丁内斯：在他的家乡皇后区，一座新的酷酷J雕像不仅仅是站在那里。半身像上的说唱歌手戴着他标志性的桶形帽子和金项链。还有一台太阳能收音机会影响他的音调，你知道，所以他的功率表中的电平不会下降。因为无论是肉制的还是青铜制的，那个人都需要他的收音机。

（歌曲《没有收音机我活不下去》的配音）

（说唱）我知道没有收音机我活不下去。

马丁内斯：这是早间版。

(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT MY RADIO")

LL COOL J: (Rapping) And I know I can't live without my radio.

MARTINEZ: It's MORNING EDITION.
