LL was Definetely a Force from 85 to 02... but from 85-92 would be the only way i could say he dominated.... after 92 the climate Of hiphop changed and while people were damn still bumpin LL, his music was not Talked about on that classic level such as Nas, Biggie, WU etc after that year. He was absolutely relevant but his MUSIC was no where near the top of the game and was no longer in that discussion.

Fam did you just compare LL Cool J's acting career to will Smith's WTF is wrong with you


will smith and ll cool J's acting skills  don't have a huge gap between them

of course will smith gets more cred because he's been doing it longer, but compare it someone like marky mark, another rapper turned actor

and you see will smith's deficiencies.

will smith and LL cool J have a HUGE gap when it comes to da rap catalog.

Ahh the good, old fashioned, changing of your argument technique after being called out. laugh.gif Carry on.

no, still plays into da main point that "how can you call jay-z da best when______"

 

most of this chatter would be eliminated if ya just called him "elite level" which i agree with just being flat out da best which MOST people dont.

 

there's too many people that be things better then jay-z to ever call him da best.

eminem is the best rapper my good men... and these lyrics of his, though nowhere near his best, address the issue...

 

"It's like a throne that he dont even own 

He wont sit down, given the crown he just throws it around 
It's like a joke he's like a king, but he dont rule a thing 
He dont want the diamonds, want the gold or want the jewelry 
He dont want the fame dont want the loot he's in it for the sport 
Runnin circles round his competition on the court, "

 

I have never heard anyone rap as good as this dude when he is really rapping, and even dumb songs what he's saying is pretty clever and tight.

But I always say pick a subject and tell Eminem to rap about then tell anybody else to rap about it. And Eminem is gonna kill it.

I think he really is one of the greats.

Not saying he's bad because he did put his time in and he came up with some of the greatest rappers of all time but he hasn't been the same since the 90's

A white person who hangs out with black people, probably on a daily basis is racist because he said black b****.. Right.. Thats correct the song is called Foolish Pride. Is that racist too? Im not trying to argue with you Im just questioning your logic. So do you think its racist if someone says "white boy"? Am I offending someone thats tall if I call them tall? Am I against fat people if I say they are fat? If she was black, he was just stating the obvious, doesn't make him a racist. If your african american stop being so sensitive. If your not, then you are amazingly hilarious.
