LL Cool J
Comment:
Back when it first came out, [i]Walking with a Panther[/i] was criticized for being [i]too[/i] commercial. Which is funny, because it basically predicted rap’s key pop crossover moments in the ‘90s and beyond, from the killer P-funk loops of “Nitro” (a favorite of Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg) to the spotlight-stealing appearance of James Brown’s band — in sample form — on “It Gets No Rougher.” On the hardcore side of things, LL Cool J spits some serious lyrical swords across the chaotic chorus line of “Crossroads,” the frantic funk licks of “4 Seasons,” and the horror-score keys of “Queens Is,” a crucial collab with Mobb Deep.
