LL Cool J is not ready till he passes to scent the roses — he is ordered himself a bouquet of Hip Hop flowers and the little card reads, “HE’S THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME!!!”

That was the DEFinitive assertion when LL not too long ago sat with Apple Music’s “Le Code” podcast the place he put his legacy in stone … “I’m going to say this humbly, however I actually imply this … I feel someday individuals are going to get up and understand that LL Cool J is a very powerful rapper that ever existed. I really imagine someday individuals are going to say that.”

He colorfully continued to make his case utilizing an array of bejeweled metaphors, however LL spit his brightest gems reminding followers of the game-changers he contributed to Hip Hop tradition.

“They’re gonna say in the case of the love songs, they’re gonna say, ‘That is the man that launched the love songs and all of the love sh*t.’

“On the subject of the G.O.A.T terminology, they gon’ say, ‘That is the man who got here up with all of the G.O.A.T stuff,’ I might go on and on and on.”

Earlier than everybody goes all scorched earth on LL, simply know he is most likely been rocking the bells earlier than most of as we speak’s streaming viewers was even born.

His first album, 1985’s “Radio,” was Def Jam’s first LP … and his 2000 album, “G.O.A.T. that includes James T. Smith: The Best of All Time” just about speaks for itself on the place he is lengthy seen his place within the sport.

We spoke to him in August after the discharge of his (fourteenth!!!) album “The Drive” and he fiercely defended the work ethic it takes to be a profitable rapper.
