Electronic Urban Report is highlighting a particularly candid moment in LL Cool J's music career.

In the hip hop icon’s 1997 autobiography “I Make My Own Rules, ” LL Cool J admits he was once ‘out of control with sex and drugs.’

Fans were surprised to hear the artist confess he ‘smoked angel dust and coke.’

LL Cool J adds, “I did a lot of things … and the only reason that I’m able to stand here right now is because I stopped doing it. I’m feeling great about that. That makes me feel good. I’m rejoicing over this. I’m rejoicing being able to share the world and tell the world I did drugs, I carried guns. I did a lot of bad things. If I didn’t tell the truth about my sex life or tell the truth about drugs, tell all that negative stuff, nobody would even be interested in this book… because it would be fluff to them.”
