LL Cool J is the Tracy McGrady of rap

[MooseMouthMthafuga]

He's probably more like the Julius Irving.Legend, but nobody really declares him the GOAT.

 

[TripleAgent]

More like Dr. J.

 

[Big Boss]

You gotta compare him to somebody that got rings and was considered a top 3 in his prime and changed the game

Kareem??

 

[Elim Garak]

I don't think he's underrated as much as gen-z just knows him as an actor. Anyone that is old enough to remember his run rates him properly.

 

[getmoney310cpt]

I still play around the way girl

 

[MegaTronBomb!]

Breh, T Mac didn't come out of the stone age of the NBA and be a top performer well into the modern game we know today.

LL and Kareem are right up there when it comes to all time greats who's accomplishments are disrespected by fans and the media

 

[MegaTronBomb!]

He's probably more like the Julius Irving.Legend, but nobody really declares him the GOAT.

LL is literally why you use that term

 

[Eastside Get The Money]

Y’all already said it but the only GOATs I ever heard of until like 5-10 years was Jordan and LL

Hard to be underrated when you’re literally called the greatest

 

[Kiyoshi-Dono]

On what planet is LL Cool J underrated
This Kendrick verse got yall jumping out the window pointing at everybody
Ain’t no way this a hip hop forum

 

[Amare's Right Hook]

T-Mac is not the LL Cool J of basketball though.

It's been a regular discussion on hip hop boards for a long time now.... LL had enough of a presence outside of rap that there are multiple generations that don't know his impact or influence on the rappers they champion as the top rappers ever.

 

[JoseLuisGotcha]

i say more like magic....

he was flashy, got all the hoes, over sized for his postiion (no diddy) changed the game, had mad hollywood/commercial appeal and is still in goat conversations

 

[Ashtrey]

Mr. Smith still in rotation. Trackmasters blessed him.

 

[MidwestD]

I have almost all of Cool J's albums in my collection. Dude deserves all the accolades.

 

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

Incredibly prolific, but underrated because he's rarely mentioned in the upper echelon of the greatest ever.





Also battled with some heavy weights(kool moe dee, Ice t, canibus) and remained standing


Influence and pioneering shouldn't always be beclouded by relevance.

HORRIBLE comparison
