He gets no respect in the hip hop community and since he dropped I Need Love is more of an RnB artist. Plus, the bullshit little beef he pulled on Canibus proves that he's a washed up man with muscles. He basically showed he was a bitchmade diva when removed Canibus's vocal from the track for the video and re-recorded his verse to diss Canibus. Then he made two shitty diss tracks (the one with Dre was lame as hell) and his tracks were basically him calling Canibus and Wyclef homos. Pretty lame IMO.

Dude gets no love in hip hop. If the Crock and Roll Hall of Fame wants to honor him, it just shows how much BS credibility those lames have. If they really want to induct a hip hop group (since they do it so they can keep it "even"), they should induct A Tribe Called Quest or De La Soul.

"When I was younger, I wanted to be LL Cool J. But then he started makin' records for the girls and shit, so I ripped up the Kangol and threw it away." - Sean Daley

I don't think either one of them are eligible yet. I think the cut-off date for this year was 1986 or 1987.

Eligibility another ridiculous thing I think is ridiculous. Tribe and De La have had way more impact on hip hop than LL. If it's not about sales and commercialism, then Boogie Down Productions and Rakim & Eric B. should be going in before LL.

Rakim & Eric B. were nominated this year, but didn't get in. The Beastie Boys beat them out, I guess.

That's some dumb shit.

L.L. Cool J not only deserves all the respect in the Hip Hop World, he also rightfully deserves to be inducted into the "Hall of Fame".He is the founding father of Hip Hop in mainstream America. Before Him and Rick Rubin (2nd generation) hip hop was 5 minutes of rambling with no structure. L.L. along with Def Jam put the entire movement on his back and carried it to corperate America. He was the first major solo rap artist to become extremly successful. He produced hit after hit from classic battle raps to the love ballads for the ladies. Please understand this is the same blueprint that every modern hip hop artist does to gain success in a fickle rap world. Please Pay one of the Greatest Rappers of All Times his due's and induct him into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Not that you can say shit, but...

LL started out strong and showed a lot of promise with the minimalist beats of Rick Rubin. The thing is, after Radio, he parted ways with Rubin (who I see as less of a pioneer than Russell Simmons) and started making records like I Need Love. He went from a street rapper to a jacked up oily RnB buffoon. Every so often he'd try to come "hard" only to show his bitchmade diva personality (see: 4, 3, 2, 1). His album sales get more and more disappointing with each endeavour and his lack of improving skill has made him look like a joke. Oh and let's not forget the self-proclaimed title of "Greatest of All Time" that he failed to back up. Not even touching his movie "career". His influence, as you described, it has helped put the bitch in hip hop and if what you say is true then he's more responsible for bitchmade acts like Drake and Big Sean. If you want to talk about influences in the 80s on modern MCs, at least where it counts, you can add Rakim, KRS and Kane to the list but leave LL off. He doesn't deserve to be commended for a career that has steadily declined into lame territory.

Oh snap. Take Nacireman off ignore, Amoebas.

[guitarsmashley]

Oh snap. Take Nacireman off ignore, Amoebas.

Why? Everyone should have Nac on ignore.

[Juan Cena]

Why? Everyone should have Nac on ignore.

Amoebas can't handle the truth that the "classic" Legion's "return" has been a total flop.

[Keb]

Niggas need to put Kool G Rap in the hall before LL.

[Chesscub]

If Kraftwerk get inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame, do you think they'll perform Autobahn? That's one long song.

[Amoebas]

Oh snap. Take Nacireman off ignore and put him on super-ignore, Amoebas.
