1985, RADIO, first classic rap album ever. This was before Rakim and Big daddy kane. Did he invent 16 bar verses?? Still this dude is killing it. Where are his flowers. favorite rappers favorite rapper

Yes

I'm gonna have to do it to these meatballs.

He should be talked about as one of the GOATS.

nope

I love Headsprung, pause

Where are his flowers

one of the most well known musicians in the genre and a well known mainstream music figure

he was in Deep Blue Sea also, f***ing classic

They call me big elly

In modern conversations about the actual music and goats he still doesn’t come up as much as that status would suggest he should

At this point you have a lot of people who would put people like Andre 3000, Lauryn Hill, MF DOOM, Mos Def, or Pusha T over LL in conversations because of various factors, despite LL’s resume and catalog say that he is in another league from these other artists who remain rap fan darlings

RUN DMC 1984 is a classic but maybe first solo classic

It is a classic for sure

Basically everyone from that era is slept on today

Every time I see him on NCIS: Los Angeles, I trip out a little bit because that's like if Kendrick Lamar was on General Hospital.

He came up with the term to that’s crazy

The new album was cool

classic

Craziest part is he actually did his last album was great

Heeeell nah. that recent project he put out was f***in amazin

Hell no I grew up on his music. My dad really put me on. I have some vintage vinyl presses sitting around like going back to Cali and I'm bad

Basically the og Drake who was laying down the blueprint of being a rap star in the 80s

His newest album isn't remotely as good as slick ricks though

i think about him all the time cus he the first rapper to dirty mack on record

never have, never will
