"Hope doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It means that in spite of the challenges and all the things that are going on around you, you really can come from very, very, very humble beginnings, whether it's Queens or the South Side of Chicago, and take your life to the next level and make your dreams a reality."

MS NOW caught up with hip-hop legend LL Cool J at the Obama Presidential Center grand opening ceremony and spoke with him about the center's importance in this political climate.
