The Crates: Don't call it a comeback...
I've been here for years. And on that note, it's only right for me to select my own re-up track. It wasn't too hard a choice. People have been bashing LL for years but, pound for pound, I still he feel he's one of the top five rappers to ever rock a mic. At least among rappers that are still breathing. But that's a story for another post. For now enjoy one man, a microphone, an empty boxing ring and a Marley Marl beat. It doesn't get much more low-budget than that.
It's nice to see LL bullying other rappers too - the way he did in his prime. Whatever happened to Kool Moe Dee anyway? According to the linked article, he wrote a book a few years ago about his top 50 MCs. And ranked himself as number 5, ahead - presumably - of LL. Now that would be a great book to get hold of.

The thing I always like about this track is it is so insanely hard - the drums, the voice ... the boxing. It must be one of, if not the, hardest rap tracks recorded. Shall we do a list?
I much prefer this to I Need Love.
It's so hard it's almost a bit cartoony. Think it's definitely worth a list.
And then we can list the softest tracks ever by hardcore rappers - if only to get the I Need Love video up.
Yes! Hard tracks by hard rappers and when Hard rappers go soft
