I had my eyes closed most of the time.
And the one time I did open them, I was pleasantly surprised.
To see some movements that I haven't done in a while.
(LAUGHTER) - ROTIMI: Man - LL COOL J: Seriously, you are funny.
So, Rotimi, how did it feel to, like, let down your Power persona, your Dre persona for a minute, and show 'em a more sensitive side? Aw, man, you know, it's always about the balance.
So to be able to do this, this show's a cool little vibe, man and the crowd is so beautiful.
So, it just feels good.
Real good.
So, uh, Serayah.
You look a little distracted over there.
You all right? You okay? That was great.
I feel like her right there, she was loving it.
- So - (LAUGHTER) So, Rotimi, you can go over to the VIP.
Two worthy battlers displaying their skills all night long.
The LSB belt is seriously up for grabs.
Without a doubt, we got us a hot one here.
Yes, two hotties, tearing up the stage, and mama's gonna have a ooh-ooh drink You get one, too, and come on back.
- It's LSB.
- Lip Sync Battle, baby.
It takes two to make a thing go right Welcome back to LSB, and Rotimi is about to bring the noise.
Let's check out how a talented actor/singer worked to become a talented lip/syncer.
And who here tonight is the champion.
(DANCERS CHEERING AND CLAPPING) What's up, y'all? Your boy Rotimi is here, Lip Sync Battle.
Let's get it goin'.
- You ready for this? - I'm ready for this.
Tell me a little bit about what you had in mind.
For my performance, we're doing a musical you've never seen before.
All right, so who are the joints and who are the pot plants? DANCER INSTRUCTOR: All right, here we go! ROTIMI: I'm bringin' that real spirit.
Just chill, life is good It's you know, this choreography's a little hazy for me.
Everything's gonna be all right.
So, Ray, you see what I got on, girl.
I'm comin' for you.
ROTIMI: It's funny that we're going against each other because I can finally say I'm better.
If I win, she takes me to dinner.
And if she wins, she takes me to dinner.
So, it makes perfect sense.
Butterscotch is in the building, and it's taking that belt.
