song came out in 1982
I just recently found out He didn't write It's Yours. His brother Special K from the Treacherous 3 wrote that for him
Melle Mel was lyrical but Rakim was from another planet lyrical
I think LL Cool J was the stepping stone between Melle Mel and Rakim
Like Fat Joe and Funk Flex was saying LL Cool J was the only rapper that had a moment with no competition when he came out in 85
So I would say LL Cool J was the start of a shift in hip hop... LL was the first to study the battle prowes of Kool Moe Dee, the flow of Silver Fox and Moe Dee, the Witiness of Grandmaster Caz, and lyrics of Melle Mel and combine all those to make a style of his own..
Rakim did it next and took it to another Planet
