Momma Say Knock U Out
Definitely a legend... been around since literally the beginning... started off strong... but then made songs geared towards women for the latter part of his career.
Now he's going through a mid life crisis and he's not sure exactly what genre of music he wants to stick to... be it...GANGSTER rap or elevator music...
No matter what...his spot is solidified!
~Be Eazy!

LL is the definition of hip hop longevity.
But, I don't give a shit what nobody says.... Canibus ripped this nigga a nu ass crack!!!
