After being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Saturday, LL Cool J is leaving the Hall with a very special piece of memorabilia.
The NCIS: Los Angeles star is donating his red Audi 5000, which was featured on the cover of his 1987 album, Bigger and Deffer, according to TMZ.
The Kennedy Center honoree spent $35,000 restoring the car with new bodywork, a fresh paint job, custom 2-tone black leather interior with red piping, a full stereo system with cassette deck, red lighting, and a full engine rebuild.
The iconic rapper was known for driving with his music so loud it could be heard all over his neighborhood, leading to his 1990 hit, "The Boomin' System." The car was stored for nearly three decades at the house in the St. Albans, Queens section of New York City where LL grew up with his grandmother, who inspired his 1991 classic, "Mama Said Knock You Out."
As previously reported, the 53-year-old entertainer's Hall of Fame performance featured two surprise guests. He brought Eminem on stage for "Rock the Bells" from 1986, and Jennifer Lopez joined him for their 2002 number-one hit, "All I Have."
