Queen Latifah channels LL Cool J for her Lip Sync Battle performance

At this point, Lip Sync Battle is no stranger to rap performances. Even Emily Blunt did one. But when Queen Latifah joined the show to battle Marlon Wayans, she took things one step further: Latifiah performed a rap song by none other than Lip Sync host LL Cool J.

We’ve got a clip of the upcoming battle, in which Queen Latifah does her best LL Cool J impersonation—complete with a red tracksuit—as she performs the 1985 hit “Rock the Bells.”

Lip Sync Battle airs Thursdays at 10 p.m. on Spike.
