LL Cool J's hilariously aggressive N97 ad: "don't call it a comeback"

There are really too many choice rhymes here to pick just one as a representative sample of all the "dope" and "ill" on display in Nokia's new N97 ad featuring the lyrical stylings of LL Cool J. We recommend you check it out before he begins to attempt to threaten you with physical violence. Video is embedded after the break.

[Thanks, Jorge]

They did a very good job with that ad. It goes well with their strategy but it's probably not going to be selling well due to price. It's going to sell well in Europe and Asia though.

I agree, that ad was great!

I agree with you, Kaitou KID - this has got to be tongue in cheek.

I ordered the N97 and I think I'm gonna be very happy with it. But I don't like this ad - in fact, I think it's unnecessary and ridiculous. But if it's intended to be a joke, then that makes it a little less ridiculous. ;)

"Competition is paying the price"?! I'd rather say "competition is laughing all the way to the bank".

At the very least, the creative juices are definitely flowing over at Nokia and that, in itself, a good thing, right?

I liked the modified Nokia boot logo, but that's the only thing I found "cool" about this ad.

I think that they should've reconsidered having a only photos of a bunch of nerdy white folk on that Facebook friends list with LL's track blasting in the background. (>_

My wincing kaomoji/emoticon must've deleted the rest of my last comment...

Anywho, the fist bump made me seriously laugh out loud, so good job to them for that part, at least. :D
