SMH @ these clowns trying to rewrite history, like LL didn't set the blueprint for most of these new school legends like Pac, Jay, Big etc.
... Like LL wouldn't do a joint for the ladies and turn around and do a street joint just to show dudes he was still on top commercially and lyrically.
...Like LL didn't hold his own against king lyricists like Canibus and KMD, while Jay falls short in every rap battle he enters (besides Prodigy).
Y'all probably think rap started with Big and Pac, huh?
Let's sum it up real quick. LL influenced dudes like Black Thought, Em, Nas and them, while Jay influenced Wayne, TI, Drake and them.... LL arguably beat Bis, KMD (to some), while Jay lost to Nas, DMX, Cam etc.
LL has multiple classics, while Jay has none (even though Vol1 is crazy dope).
Conclusion: LL wins in all 3 categories.
Doing something FIRST doesnt make you better than anybody else.
There isnt an LL record that comes CLOSE to RD, Blueprint, The Black Album. LMAO @ Jay losing to Nas or DMX....when the exact same argument can be used against LL with Bis.
LL ate Canibus, Ice T, MC Hammer, & Moe Dee. The only real questionable one was KMD. Canibus stands & Jigga warriors hold on to them losses and will argue a nigga to death saying they won but its pretty obvious them niggas lost. Losing aint a big deal either. Nas & LL are elite MCs.
LL had 3 classics before Jay even had a deal. He had took over the game, Russell and nem built Def Jam off his talent. The nigga fell off and bounced back before Jay was even on.
Radio, Bigger & Deffer, as well as
Mama Said are undeniable classics.
As a matter of fact LL lines are still being used for nigga's hooks today "What the hell are you lookin for?
Can't a young man make money anymore?" (Illegal Search) but of course niggas think Ye stole that from Mase or some shit.
Based off popularity I expect Jay-Z to win any opinion poll but the facts are most of LL's major accomplishments were before Biggie, Pac, Jay or Nas even hit the scene.
Like I said Jay gets the bar for bar W, but overall I gotta give it to Uncle L.
