LL Cool J has proclaimed himself the “greatest rapper of all time,” a title that has not been challenged by Slick Rick. LL’s claim is supported by the fact that he coined the term.
Slick Rick agrees with LL’s assessment, recognizing his contributions to hip-hop. LL has been a pioneer in various aspects of the genre, including love songs, fashion, and promoting the rapper lifestyle beyond the studio.
Rick has not released a solo album in a long time but is reportedly working on one. LL’s recent music, such as “The Force,” may have inspired Rick to return to the studio.
