Public Enemy Chuck D Says LL Cool J Should Get Into The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Before Tupac

[2stepz_ahead]

LL was performing on the Grammys b4 mainstream media was fuckin with hip-hop.

It was damn near rare if ever, to see a rapper on tv back then....


...based on this alone, i couldn't be mad if LL got in b4 Pac.

i like the sweatsuit

 

[Already Home_17]

I disagree. Tupac has influenced his generation, my generation, and my kids generation. LL is an all time great, but Pac is Pac and he was only 25.

all that needed to be said

 

[Kairo]

I was never a fan of LL the same way I was of some of the same cats of his era but he deserves to be in the HOF and doing it right means getting in the dudes that came first. Chuck's right.

 

[Ether44mag]

thats why we need a hip hop hall of fame them crackas dont know what the fuck they doin if Pac is in there before LL Cool J

 

[lethal5]

Besides @_Goldie_ , I may be the biggest Pac supporter in the IC.

With that said, it is criminal the way LL Cool J has been erased from the archives as one of the GOATs. His pen game, catalog, and longevity should have him (arguably) in everybody's top 10 or possibly top 5. The guy was a beast with it and should have already gone into the HOF alongside Run DMC.

Just to show you how Legendary LL was, the pic on the album cover of Bad was taken in front of his actual High School

...How many Rappers u know had dropped 2 classic albums around the time they were in High School?

 

[lethal5]

...not to mention LL was the 1st artist ever signed to Def Jam, and we all know how Legendary def jam turned out to be...and the fact that LL is still standing in the entertainment biz is a testament to itself. ...the average shelf life for a musician is only like 3 years.

LL really one of the main Reasons we use G.O.A.T. as a term and acronym .

Cuhz was COLD and had one of the most successful runs in Hip Hop History...He needs In ASAP.

...Then, Pac.

He gave me the Option to Flip one of the coldest tracks "Around the Way Girl"

Im a fan of LL...but Pac is the greatest rapper of all time...

This is like saying dr. J should get into the hof before jordan...you can talk yourself into it...but u know it aint right

 

[N YO HOOD]

Pac has been dead 10 years and still gets mentioned almost daily on this site when was the last time LL was ever brought up

 

[CapitalB]

aye..

Tell Chuck D fuck his feelings..

Thug Life!

First of all, Pac has been dead 20 years.

Second of all, the reason people don't talk about LL Cool J on this website is because of the generation gap. Most of the posters on the IC don't remember when LL was in his prime. I remember the late 80s. LL was the biggest rap star at the time. He was going double platinum when Public Enemy and KRS One were struggling to go gold.

Grandmaster Flash and the Furious 5 hardly ever get mentioned on the IC but you wouldn't induct 2Pac before Grandmaster Flash.

 

[Built 4 cuban linx]

We judging rappers getting into the hall of fame based off if they're brought up on the ic or not? Wow

 

[RickyRich]

Pac touched alot of lives across the world .

 

[Stiff]

That Accidental Racist song should set LL's induction back at least 8 years

 

[soul rattler]

I'm the biggest Tupac fan ever but he right. Run dmc then ll should a been right after. His 80s and 90s impact came before Tupac. But pacs death threw off the most chronological order.

Besides @_Goldie_ , I may be the biggest Pac supporter in the IC.

I'm a Pac fan as well but def think LL should've went before PAC.

Traitors to the cause. All of you.

Tupac is the most important individual to Hip hop outside of DJ Kool Herc.

you dont get it do you ? first off nobody is saying that Pac deserves it less or that LL is better than Pac , but take away the fact that 2pac is dead ,LL has a much bigger impact on the culture of hip hop than 2pac for what he did in the early stages of the culture ,LL was one of the main reasons why Pac could eat ,LL and Run Dmc put Rap on the Map ,and LL was the first thug aggressive Rapper who also catered to the ladies .LL could talk to the ladies and still rip your fuckin head off in a battle !

Im a fan of LL...but Pac is the greatest rapper of all time...

This is like saying dr. J should get into the hof before jordan...you can talk yourself into it...but u know it aint right

Absolutely Dr.J should get in before Jordan ! dr.J WAS Basketball for for a decade and LITERALLY SAVED the Nba from being extinct Jordan is alot better than him as a basketball player but Impact wise Him ,MJ ,Bird and Magic are very close ,there is no jordan without Dr.J ....and David Thompson lol

that would be like sayin Dj kool Herc should not get into a Hip Hop hall of fame before Kid Capri... being the first to have a big impact is important ,you should get in before those who came after you even if they are "better"

I didn't know whether to give that post a GOAT or an Ether....well said bruh

Obviously Dr.J should AND DID get into the HOF before Jordan. You sound stupid.

And Pac ain't even close to the greatest. He just died in his prime, that's it! LL in his prime would have rapped circles around Pac. Kill yourself for falling for their little media push where dead rappers are placed ahead of rappers who are still alive, knowing damn well you would be referring to Pac as an old washed nigga or a rapper turned actor if he was still alive.

they studyin LL's bars in Universities!!?

oh.. okay then..
