The fact that LL Cool J has been through many eras of Hip Hop from the mid 80s to 90s to 00s, to 10s and now 20s he doesn't get enough credit for how much of an icon he really is....true or definitely true?

He is the first rapper to take it farther than rap! He said no, he not. So, the next few days he learned who LL is! I remember him saying dang Sam Hanna got bars! Then cut to about a month later i hear him on the phone with his girlfriend playing and quoting i need love and around the way girl.
