The Rap legend called the title “confusing” & asked his followers why he’s being placed in that lane.
As we attempt to categorize artists, some of our legends are being tossed in lanes that they don’t necessarily believe they adhere to. It’s unclear where this latest label came from, but Cool James posed a question to his followers for a little help in understanding why he’s been named the “forefather of pop rap.”

“Me being called the forefather of pop rap is very confusing. What the f*ck are you talking about?? LOL,” LL tweeted. He has yet to offer up a follow-up message to share where he received his information, but his fans were quick to point out that if anyone would take that crown, it should be the Fresh Prince & DJ Jazzy Jeff.
LL has had a few Pop-Rap mash-ups in the past, but some think naming him a “forefather” of the genre is a stretch. Who do you think the title actually belongs to?
