"Go Cut Creator Go" is the third and final single released by LL Cool J from his second album Bigger and Deffer. It was released in 1987 for Def Jam Recordings and featured production from The L.A. Posse, LL Cool J and Cut Creator. The song was a tribute to LL Cool J's DJ at the time, Cut Creator. Though it was not as big as his previous two singles from the album, "I Need Love" and "I'm Bad", "Go Cut Creator Go" made it to number three on the Billboard Hot Black Singles chart and number six on the UK Singles Chart. The song features a sample of the opening guitar riff from "Roll Over Beethoven" by Chuck Berry and an audio clip of Richard Pryor screaming "I Want A Cut!" from his stand-up album "...Is It Something I Said?". The chorus of the song's title is sung in the style of the chorus to Chuck Berry's "Johnny B. Goode". The B-side of the single is "Kanday".
