90s LL Cool J is the most underrated rapper of that era and > than 80s LL Cool J

[Cuban Pete]

Let's not even get into how he bodied the guy who lost to Dizaster the Armenian Battle Rapper. Super underrated run compared to some of yall darling rappers like Mobb Deep and Wu. Bodied top tier rappers on multiple collabs and had hits on hits for the females after more than 10 years in the game

 

[surv2syn]

better hit maker and song writer but only reason he would be better than 80's is because Mama..was just on the other side and released in 1990

You can still see 90’s LL’s influence in 2019

I be telling my nikkas all the time... LL was really that nikka. All his shyt still ride. Pink cookies. Big ole butt. Around the way girl. Doing it. Man he got slaps.

LL was not underrated in the 90's. How he underrated in the 90's when thats the decade when he put out his greatest album (Mama said...) When Mama Said dropped it was similar to when Jay Z dropped Blueprint. Mr Smith era he had hits and he kept the streets on lock with i Shot Ya and 4321....You cant be underrated when you have heat in the streets.

He did fall off lyrically in the 90's tho and Canibus called him out on it. Who had the weakest verse on Flava In Ya Ear remix?


1999 he ended the last century with 2 bangers

I loved his flavor in ya ear verse.

LL has 1 good album in the 90’s. And it came out in 1990 Mr Smith can sit the fukk down.

The Pink Cookies remix is the only other song I care about.

LL didnt innovate. He took elements from other people and built upon it.

That allowed him to stay relevant longer than his peers.

How would taking from these rappers extend his career?

The vibe I got from breh was he was taking from popular or up n coming rappers at the time.

We're talking about 90s LL. I don't really see Run in this version of LL. Especially as the decade progressed.

LL was widely considered the GOAT in the 90's
