LL deserves more props. He’s like the only mid 80s rapper to not only make it past that weird purge that happened to late 80’s/golden era guys like krs, Rakim, BDK where most of them couldn’t thrive after 90/91, he dominated and remained a chart topper well into the 00’s.
People love to give Jay his props for longevity - well deserved - but LL needs the same because dude came out in the ABC era of rap and kept up well into the multi plat era. To debut in 84 and have top 20 hit in 04 is

for em...
