Why does LL Cool J suck at rapping?
<|assistant|>
LL Cool J has always had somewhat of a mixed reputation when it comes to his rapping skills. Although he has had some successful singles, many people contend that his flow is stale and he often uses overly simplified lyrics and lackluster production. Additionally, while he often references classic hip-hop artists and has a large influence from old-school rappers, his style is seen as too generic and predictable and has failed to keep up with the changing trends in rap over the years.
