Todd is definitely in the conversation

LL Cool J played a big role in keeping hip hop popular in the 1980s and ruled the charts in the 1990s. He definitely has a point about his impact on the genre.

If I were to make a list of the top ten most important hip hop artists ever, it would be crazy to leave him off. His talent, style, and ability to appeal to a wide audience helped shape hip hop and make it what it is today. He’s a key figure in the history of the music.


… (in random order)


1. DJ Kool Herc
2. Grandmaster Flash
3. Afrika Bambaataa
4. Run-D.M.C.
5. LL Cool J
6. Tupac Shakur (2Pac)
7. The Notorious B.I.G. Rakim
8. Jay-Z
9. Nas
10. Kendrick Lamar Slick Rick

If its its Random order why u put them numbers.......

Why’d u cross out Kenny and Chris?

To show you that I would’ve put them there instead. IMO they go 11 and 12.

I don't necessarily agree but I can't fault him for making the claim

 

[boogers]

As it pertains to the Eastcoast, yes. Def Jam started Hip Hop off the back of LL. Culturally, he evolved it. Badboy and Andre Harrell wanted another LL when they found Biggie.

The Westcoast and South created their own culture.

a decent post from #droolset. well ill be damned

"I got some LL Cool J?"
"Nah nah I don't want none of that"

I see you Ice-T

I forgot about that...



But I do remember when LL fell off and was getting dissed and booo'd everywhere he went. I think this was a little bit after he released the "Walking with a Panther" album and he started wearing all them big *ss hats and all that weird sh*t.

 

[Dafunkdoc_Unlimited]

I was a HUGE LL fan back in they day. People forget a lot of that era he was getting dissed for his corny rap love songs.

"I got some LL Cool J?"
"Nah nah I don't want none of that"

I see you Ice-T

How can you say you're the best?
Get put to the test
In front of a million and fess
Tried to withdraw because you saw
The juice I gots not like before
Huh
I'm formidable, unforgettable
You're submittable
You look pitiful
Yeah you're headstrong, but you're dead wrong
Wanna survive? Stick with the love songs
Take off your shirt, flex and flirt
And leave the real hard rhymes to the hard rhyme experts
If you don't, boy you'll get hurt
Feel like dirt and have to revert
To comin' on stage butt-naked
To make up for what you can't do on record

~Kool Moe Dee, 'Let's Go', 1988.​

He had a great career though, and is a legit oldschool talent who can murder you free styling. And, he made a great transition to other outlets. But too many other acts have been too important to hip hop, not just talented.

No one in that era thought that they were corny. Everyone loved them. Ask your uncles.


This is just some rap beef attempt to rewrite history that you know about.

That n*gg* Kool Moe Dee said... "I don't get even, I get odd... Todd!"

Something about the "Odd, Todd" part was always funny to me. Kool Moe Dee killed LL with "Let's Go"

"I don't get even, I get odd... Todd!"

I'm an old head, I still have LL cassette tapes. Dudes are on wax taking shots at him for those love songs

 

[areohbee824]

He got all the right to feel that way, not mad at all

 

[King Static X]

He made his case. I see his point
