Kanye West is certainly no stranger to speaking his mind.

We all know it. Including LL Cool J.

During an appearance on Monday's Arsenio, the rapper couldn't help but take a playful dig at Kim Kardashian's fiancé for his habitual ranting.

It all started when host Arsenio Hall asked LL which artists he thought were hot right now.

"I think there's a lot of good music out there," he said. "I just did a remix with a great young artist, Kid Ink. Me, Kid Ink, Chris Brown and Tyga. They remind me of me when I first started."

LL also acknowledged Schoolboy Q, Kendrick Lamar "and Kanye West when he's not complaining."

He then laughed and added, "I love you man, but you gotta stop complaining," before joking, "He's gonna tear me up...Don't hit me!"

Meanwhile, West just wrapped up the North American leg of his Yeezus tour last weekend, with Kim, her sister Kourtney Kardashian and their mom, Kris Jenner, all attending the final concert in New York.

And, contrary to what we've come to expect from the Grammy winner, the show was relatively rant-free.

LL would no doubt be pleased.
