Starts at 3:50, talking about “rappers tryna play mystery man” and think they’re too good to perform for hip hop 50
For those that don’t know, these two had a minor subliminal beef in the 2000s
Just remembered LL being on the Grammy's nuts just because Ye pissed on his dude is corny

Wasn’t about Jay apparently
What is the actual root of their tension?
I hear it was over Jay becoming president of Def Jam and failing to push his album. If that’s true, it wouldn’t surprise me. Plenty of people from the likes of DMX and Ghostface expressed their frustrations at Jay for somewhat sabotaging their releases. And then you factor in the eventual release of Kingdom Come, which reportedly left the company in a whole as it failed to meet sales projections and its hefty marketing budget.
I also heard LL say it may be over a rap battle back in the day where Jay felt he didn’t acknowledge him.
Idk.
LL's music didn't age well
The Radio album holds up imo, better than the Run DMC stuff of the time and on par with Beastie Boys
Glad rap improved after this tweet
LL's music didn't age well
LL got some classic ass songs
A lot tbh even if its dated in sound

Never liked him when I was younger. Got older and found out what he did and made sense like I peep the energy without having to be face to face. Man's is a snake and was willing to f*** up other careers so he could be the "king of New York"
