I remember this joint around 06-07 right?

People forget LL can do the street thing, I've always said he and Cube dont get enough credit and should be undisputed top 5-10.

Yeah, it was on DJ KaySlay's tape "The Streetsweeper Vol. 2:".

Cube did get enough credit, don't know what you talk about. LL did too many loves songs that threw people off but hey it's LL. "Ladies Love Cool J"

Well what I mean is they dont get discussed in the Best Mcs of all time like Biggie, Pac, Nas, Jay do and I would argue they should be just as much in the mix as all 4

I understand what you mean......some people said that he was only relevant because he was eye candy pause for the ladies, don't take him serious as a MCs which is silly but he's doing too much for the ladies that threw people off. People always talk about Ja Rule, and 50 Cent, Faboulous, Drake, Nelly, Diddy, etc.singing about female but it was LL Cool J giving them birth to do this

He had good longevity. You can make an argument because he bascially put Def Jam on the map, along with the Beastie Boys.....but he paved the way for mainstream rappers of today so mostly of rappers took his blueprint for it......This could alone makes him top 10 all-time.
