Why Does LL Cool J Say Knock Em Out The Box L At The End Of Lip Sync Battle?

If there’s one show we can’t get enough of it’s Lip Sync Battle.  It’s amazing seeing entertainers perform all the popular songs we love.  What’s better than celebrities, in costumes, jamming out to throwback hits!? From Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson to Channing Tatum, the show is here to stay!

LL Cool J (James Todd Smith) always signs off of Lip Sync Battle by saying “Knock ’em out the box, L, knock ’em out, L.”  He makes the statement as a reference to himself and Slick Rick.  In the 1989 song Children’s Story, Slick Rick delivers the lyrics right before the end of the song.  Timeless, as proven by Smith.
