Nah. The real Mount Rushmore has presidents that span over the course of well over 100 years. Mount Rushmore is not reserved for the ones who started something. It’s reserved for the ones that are the most impactful. To say that DMX was not one of the 4 most impactful rappers on the label is simply not true.
@@darylcampbell9838 so LL’s Mt. Rushmore wouldn’t be my pick, but I stand on my take of what the criteria of a Mt. Rushmore is. I agree X should be on a Def Jam Mt. Rushmore, and I would even include Hov. I don’t know if I would put Ye’ on there. In the grand scheme of it he was under that Def Jam umbrella, but I consider him more of a Roc artist. Instead, I would probably put Luda or Rule on there.
DMX was good.... but that "If you got a daughter older than 15, imma r8pe her" line wouldn't fly in 2024 with how cancel culture is :p (DMX - X is coming) (what a wild title considering the subject matter 🤣)
Noting wrong with LLs list and It’s his era. And Jay and X etc don’t HAVE to be on his list. It’s not some type of blasphemy that he didn’t put them on his list like “how dare he”. lol. He said what he said. 😂
Saying DMX only put trinkets in the house is not only disrespectful, but completely untrue. At one point he was keeping the lights on in that building. He may not have built the foundation, but he made sure that foundation stood stronger and firmer when he was there.
Thing is, DMX barely even claimed Def Jam. He was a Ruff Ryders artist. Jay-Z is a Roc-A-Fella artist. LL named pure Def Jam artists from the jump. And btw "Ask Russell Simmons who put him up in that skyscraper."
Here’s the thing DMX, Jay were never technically signed to Def Jam initially . They were on Rocafella, Ruff Ryder and those labels had joint venture deals 50/50 partnerships with Def Jam. Def Jam didn’t have those guys directly
It's not a SNUB or HATING. The man was there when pioneers were there. Legends were there that were Legends before Nas and Jay were even out. Y'all gotta stop.
@@belachaney i fully know how it works. I was a bboy in the 80s so my choices are based on artist at the label around that time. You can’t just come in here and tell man we don’t know how it works then don’t explain. Makes no sense🤷🏾♂️
When it came to early beginnings of Def Jam: LL, PE, Slick Rick and The Beastie Boys did built the house. EPMD, Redman, Method Man, Foxy Brown and Onyx added the fixtures and amenities while Jay Z, DMX and everyone else after brought in the decorations
1) LL is never going to put younger artist on the level with him. 2) …esp not JayZ, who embarrassed Him outside of a Club in a battle when he was young and LL was “The Guy” “There was a longstanding rumor that these two rap legends battled in a Manhattan parking lot, and LL used a verse from his song "Funkadelic Relic" that led Jay and his crew to ridicule him. According to LL, that wasn't the case. The battle happened, but he didn't use that specific verse and instead ran out of rhymes.” LL told yall he did what he did to Canibus because he’s an egomaniac LOL.. LL is not acknowledging anybody under his generation as mount rushmore beside him. Lol. He just not gon do it.
Get your facts straight. It wasn’t a battle, it was a cypher. It was multiple MC’s there, including Sauce Money and a couple of others. Pull up the Sauce Money interview, he explains exactly what went down and even said LL held his own considering the circumstances. And the only reason the story is even out, is because it makes Jay look good. And for the record, every great MC is an ego maniac. Go ask KRS and Kane. They didn’t a problem with what LL did. That’s how MC’s rolled in that era. You wouldn’t understand that, because you aren’t on that level.
I don’t think it was a snub because the artist he named was actually def jam artist. The other artists he left off are def jam affiliated RAL= Rush associated labels.
@@DAYDAY211 The artist LL named was straight Def Jam artist. There’s ano other label or production label on the back of the CD album tape. Just Def Jam.
People having issues with this just proves my theory that we’re losing touch with what The Mount Rushmore memorial actually signifies.

@@tony4534 REDMAN kept the lights on during the CHRONIC years and everything that came out on DEATH ROW. WARREN G helped when he was put on. DMX came later and JA RULE too.
I think the idea of what was/is Mount Rushmore gets lost in translation. The four Presidents on Mount Rushmore are arguably not the best presidents of all time. But they were, arguably, momental to the US at the time
What’s interesting about the Def Jam roster is how many acts are affiliated with Russell/ Lyor/ Rick and how many are signed to Rush Management and who’s actually an act on the label.
Def Jam Mt Rushmore has to be LL Cool J, Public Enemy (Chuck D, Flava Flav, Terminator X, Professor Griff, S1Ws, Sister Souljah, The Bomb Squad), Beastie Boys and Slick Rick...

DEF JAM has too many artists for anyone to be upset about a bs Mt Rushmore. It ain’t that serious. DMX was promoting Ruff Ryders and Jigga was always promoting ROC-A-FELLA. There are too many artists in the beginning that paved the way for Def Jam to stand
For those of us who are old enough to know better... You can't have a Mt. Rushmore without including the founding fathers! This isn't about "your favor rapper."

Ll cool j and his build def jam from the ground up but the late 90s early 2000 def jam had DMX ruff riders ja rule Inc jayz roc a fella but that time ll cool j was the undertaker of def jam a born and raised living icon
Go back and look at old interviews with LL, DMX, Meth, etc..you can see how the younger rappers (at the time) looked up to L like the big homie. He still feels the same way today, he's not going to put these younger guys on his Mt Rushmore. And on top of that, we all know LL and Jay have a thing..and will probably have that thing, whatever it is, forever.
So? I am a 90s era hip hop head and hold none of those as greats. I would buy a Joe Budden record before any of these dudes and I am not brown nosing. People like what they like
Beastie Boys , Run Dmc , LL Cool J and Public Enemy was all it was around here . Run Dmc was on Profile but I think.its because family and business don't mix. I totally understand where LL was coming from.
He didn’t snub them LL and other Def Jam legends established Def Jam way before Jay Z or The Liz or DMX were even thought of! Respect the legend man he put DEF HAM on the map 🗺️ 🎤 and on his back alone 💪🏽 Jay DMX or nobody can say they carried a label by themselves
LL is one of the actual first rappers to ever exist. If he wants to give HIS OPINION on who is the best, he actually gets to do it and deserves respect for it. Without LL, is there really Jay, Nas or many other rappers for real though?
