*Los Angeles – The acclaimed, Emmy-nominated series “Oprah’s Master Class” featuring an unprecedented first–person insight into the brilliant minds of entertainers and public figures we love, respect and admire, is in its sixth season, with a new episode on Saturday, September 9 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network featuring hip-hop pioneer LL Cool J.

LL Cool J’s first public rap performance was at a party in a church basement. Afterwards, a girl in the audience gave LL some harsh criticism, but he had the last laugh.

When LL Cool J was first offered the opportunity to record an album, he couldn’t wait to tell the other members of his rap group, but there was just one problem: They didn’t believe him.

As both an actor and a rap artist, LL Cool J says there’s a distinct difference between making television and recording music.

About the Episode:
Hip-hop legend, Grammy winner, TV and film star, devoted husband and father: LL Cool J has accomplished it all. But to hear him tell it, LL says he couldn’t have done any of it without learning to forgive, a lesson he was taught by his mother.
