    How can you not be inspired by LL Cool J his business sense and ability to jump from music-film-fashion owning his own master's for 20yrs he got NCISLA Lip Sync Battle he did the grammys
    hosting. Rock The Bell radio this Brotha stay with the bag eating and got a healthy catalog
    I also love how LL and Cube be out here rooting for each other attending each other event's
    They both navigate in the same pool. with no shady no funny BS just grown up shit

    LL is that dude that just eclipses top 10 lists. My mind puts him in his own hemisphere nobody else can touch, because no one besides LL could have ever done things in his style and been just as successful. He has the kind of indescribable X-Factor very few artists have. He’s a living legend. Like a human myth.

    • @justinbrown8332
      @justinbrown8332 5 лет назад +2

      Well said! That's why I ALWAYS considered LL the first TRUE total
      package in rap. By that I mean having the elite lyrical ability, love
      in the streets, range in music, diverse fanbase, mainstream appeal, and
      numbers (records sold) as a package!! Epic MC's like Rakim, Kane, G
      Rap, Slick Rick, and KRS in that era DIDN'T have the total package that
      LL did. YET LL was still a great MC among the best in the world!
      Later down the road, legends like Cube, Snoop, Pac, BIG, Hov, DMX,
      Wayne, Kendrick, etc. were great total packages as well. BUT frankly,
      LL was the PIONEER! WAYYYYY ahead of his time!!!

      LL in my opinion that was the first great TOTAL PACKAGE MC that had that huge mainstream impact. LL had the lyrical ability, street cred, diverse fanbase, and numbers to back it up. KRS, Kane, G Rap, Rakim, and Slick Rick in that era were considered more skilled MC's by many. BUT LL was still a very skilled MC himself. And the KEY WAS LL was THE ONE who was the best total package! Hov, BIG, Pac, Kendrick, Wayne, etc. are also great total packages. But LL was the ORIGINAL in my opinion. When these type of MC's are at their peak, they are among the biggest stars in MUSIC in general. Not just hip-hop!!

    Man, LL is doing a lot of good work and you can tell it's from the heart. Jay-Z do one thing it becomes a press run. Start showing guys like him more respect. He is probably the only legend that owns all of his work.

    Nah... I've never slept on LL Cool J... I used keep rewinding "I Shot Ya" Remix, on VHS when I was younger back in the day. He been killing the Battles... (even though I didn't want him and Canibus to battle, it was still good). Plus he brought in other Artists from back in the day...and that song is the first time I think I heard Prodigy and Fat Joe... think I already heard Keith Murray... but when I saw and heard Foxy Brown... I was like "Who the F*ck is that?" Sexy and Spitting Flames... Yessir. #ThoseWhereTheDays #That90sShitWillNeverDie #RealHipHopExists #LondonUK #WeHerePeace
