LL Cool J was one of the most consistent rappers. His debut album came out in 1985 and went Platinum when he was 17. He was still putting out platinum albums in the 90’s.

LL is one of the longest lasting rappers in history. His career spanned to the 2000s. Started in the 80s, he is quite literally in all legendary rappers top 5.

LL did rap in 80s...he was rapping since like 17

Totally insane that they put Big first on this track. No human on earth at that time could have followed him and been better.

Biggie was talking about Craig in this song lol

Craig mack was the 1st rapper diddy was pushing this was one of the 1st biggie cameos. Even that early you can tell he was a star

LL was still doin his thing in early 2000 thats the best thing about it. LL had longevity in the game. So it was a blessing to still see him doin his thing

LL looks like the character on In Too Deep because that was him

Bro Craig Mack Is the reason why Bad Boy is a big lable till this day when Flavor in ya ear was the first song that came out under Bad Boy and the Label blew up #RIPCRAIGMACK

I was born in 2001 and it feels weird seeing people in my age bracket shocked at how good the 90s was like a lot of references go over people’s head...i go back and listen to everything not just Hip Hop and R&B, please do your history people

Fun fact: Craig mack and big hated each other. Their verses were them getting at each other.

I agree. Big going first was bad for everyone else on the track. But no one got embarrassed. Everyone came with heat, Craig Mack included. (RIP Mack and Big)

Ran across ur channel, I'm a 47 years old woman from Jersey. I APPRECIATE u making notice of the rap music I grew up to. Nothing like it, every artist had thier own rap style. Today's rap I don't even listen to it..but different ages like different things. This is real rap. Good job!👏🏾

Definitely some new flavor in my ear 💯🔥👂🏾

I like ya reactions Bro ... You really listening ... respect 💯💪🏾

R.i.p craig mack, R.I.P B.I.G

RIP Craig Mack✌🏾🖤✊🏾👑

ʟʟ ᴅɪᴅ ᴄᴏᴍᴇ ᴏᴜᴛ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ 80's. ʟᴏɴɢᴇᴠɪᴛʏ ʙʀᴏ.

Rest in peace and paradise to the legend Craig Mack

This song used to get it MAD hype! Back then it was a big deal to have remixes with features. When Rampage said “Cool Like That”, it was a shout out (with cameo) to Digable Planets who was hot at the time. Also you were right LL Cool J is one of the very few OGs that sparked the industry in the 80s and still represents today!

LL was rapping in the 80s. Consistency bro!

Great reaction Kingz K.....90s East Coast hip hop was BANANAS man....wish you were there.

Diddy was a backup for Big Daddy Kane and Heavy D in the 80s and 90s. He Start In The Industry as a Back-Up Dancer.

LL has shared the stage with Run DMC and he will still step off that throne to handle business. Don’t mess with the elders…LL will rip some ish you ain’t ready for bro…no cap…but he stay humble. That kat you didn’t know and asked about, he was Rampage, look him and Phife Dog rip, look KRS up too…humble Kats, but any of them can still lay 🔥 down. After you hear “return of the ripper” (canibus diss) then you’ll understand. This was just royalty in this joint. Biggs,LL,Busta,Rampage…rip Big,Craig Mack. LL and Busta been getting it in since the 80s. Busta was in Leaders of the new school…you can’t touch these kats

"Invisible bully like the gooch"

LL Cool J has had hits in 3 decades.

This is why biggie was the best. Even though the song is censored you still get a clear picture of his lyrics (thats genius) #1 biggie #2 rampage #3 busta #4 Craig #5 LL #6 puffy (you guys dnt show puffy love)

The dancer is a trans woman. She was also in Biggie's "Big Poppa" video. Listen to LL's lyrics and he was telling you, "it's all for you, really all for you"......

And yes, alot of heads freestyle on this beat

Hope you check out Das Efx... Either "Buck", "or "Real Hip Hop" one of the hardest beats ever. No one can ever copy their style. They were in this video but didn't have a part. Man, this was like the 98' NBA All-Star Team. Too many gunners on one team... Enjoyed the review!

Live at the Barbecue: Nas (this was Nas' first appearance at 16 years old).

🍷

I was there when they shot this video lol

You would def dig Das EFX, same vibe as Rampage in this vid. You should do "Knockin niggaz off" or "hold it down"

Easy moe bee on the beat

When he spit"foes is shaking in ya boots invisible bully like The Gooch disappear vamoose ya wack to me" The Gooch was a bully on the sitcom Different Strokes who bullied Arnold for the entire time the series was aired BUT you NEVER seem The Gooch you always heard stories but didn't see The Gooch...clever and very witty on B.I.H.'s part

Rampage from flip mode squad

CAPONE N NOREAGA: STICK YOU. that track is an amazing story. Very visual

ll cool j was rapping in the 80s too

Busta was in a Halloween movie where he went head up with Mike Myers and whipped his ass and ll cool j was in Halloween h2o which was the 20th anniversary of the 1st Halloween which is now 40 years old

You gotta react to the original yoo The original Flaca in ya ear was a huge hit. But yeah the remix is live too

Yo thats somebody mama lmaooooo Smiff and wessun fr reakon. Black trump is a hard banger Frankie cutlass ft doo wop and heltah skeltah

4:55 Rampage the Last Boy Scout (Busta Rhymes cousin) here’s the song he’s known for kzfaq.info/get/bejne/etSinJSl0ODOlqs.html

Listen to the original flavor in ya ear with just Craig Mack. . You’ll see why he went after biggie. This was before biggie was biggie. So, Craig came out before biggie, and he was ready to blowup too. The original is better than the remix in a lot of ways.

Rewind-NaS

If u dont know why puff do tha with the bottles its because of Warriors...

U put Big first to draw listeners in.

Yeah Big L was rapping In da 80's

that person is nobody's mama .... let's just say it's biologically impossible.

Biggie and LL Cool j has the best verse but the whole song were 🔥

Aye my guy. Please react to life we chose by nas. I promise you won't regret it. Unless you heard it already. To answer your question though. If big was still alive idk about the rap game being different but I do know that he would still be dropping in from time to time and jay zs career would not be as high of a caliber that he's looked at to be. Cause we all know who truly had the entire east coast held down and it was biggie. And thus to my next point. Although pac is a legend. He didn't have that shine and that warmth biggie had. And he certainly did not have the West coast held down. Dre did period end of story. So I think with that being said. Pac would of kept on getting himself publicly in trouble. And big and dre today would be extremely close like brothers even closer then Diddy and big. But all 3 of them would still overall be close. And thats honestly how I feel. I also think pac and suge even though they were really close music label wise is the same exact reason why they would of ended up probably killing each other cause money and pride would of broken them up and there both gangster af. Just like dre left him the game left him I think. Easy e left suge, and alot of other rappers left him too. Pac would of too. And he should of signed to dre after and squashed his beef with big. That's what could of and didn't happen. Hip hop head talk

You will get a better appreciation for Craig Mack if you listen the original...
