Pit fukking Bull. That man went from spitting(no lie he was a real serious rapper I know yall remember that pulls jon song he did straight flames) to being one of the biggest pop acts on America


you know what? I'm gonna add is brother flo rida to the list. That guy is like a perpetual one hit wonder.

I'm not sure if I've ever met anyone that was a true fan of the guy.

Fabolous for sure. Snoop is somehow relevant still after starting as a gangsta rapper like 20 years ago.

Classic Niccas


yea. I was a 3-6 mafia fan and figured they'd be done once half the group bounced. but it makes sense. they started shuckin-n-jiving in the mid-00s, then basically went pop after that. and all that kept them around until rap went to complete chit.

now juicy j of all people, has a solo career.........and with that said, I throw tity boi/2chainz in the same category as him.

man, one thing ive noticed is a lot of these dudes that lingered around, really don't have much to be proud about, if we want to be real.

Migos.
I thought they wouldn't be able to keep the momentum up, but Zaytoven and 808 Mafia kept the fire going.

Them Lo Lifes...
I don't know what this sentence means.

Name an LL Cool J album you think is undeniably classic and tell me why it's undeniable. In 2016.

I'm not going to talk about Illmatic just yet because our convo is about LL Cool J.
What are you basing Illmatic being a classic in the sense of? (Edit: know people who think illmatic is just...alright..would they be wrong?)

And why wouldnt Radio/BAD/Mama Said..be mentioned in the same likes far as underground and mainstream acceptance, production, innovation, lyrics, flows, styles, in the prospective ERAS they where released in?

And you brought up both LL AND Nas to make an definitive statement based on how you feel.

If you said..IMO I Feel LL has no classic albums, I probably wouldnt have responded.
