Well… just when you think it won’t happen it does! It appears that Jay-z may have taken a shot at Hip-Hop Icon LL Cool J!

In an interview with Rolling Stone Magazine Jigga speaks on Rapper’s making “Young Songs” and how he is still able to compete in his 40’s with Rappers such as Lil Wayne. One of the quotes from Mr. Carter on the matter was this…

“We’ve seen people like LL Cool J have longevity and we respect the heritage of what he’s done but it’s not like right now he’s competing on the same level as Lil’ Wayne so for me to still be able to compete at that level at my age, that’s rarefied air, it’s never been done.”

Is this truly enough to ignite “Rap Beef”? Is this truly fact or fiction? It’s all in how you perceive the game to be and what you know about hip-hop to me. LL was platinum plus and 10 years deep in the game before Jay’s first real hit and mainstream release came. They are probably the same age yet LL’s career is twice as long and he can match and possibly beat Jigga in sales, plaques, Number 1 songs.

I would like to see a battle personally! I think if it went round for round LL would smoke Jay! Fact is this Kool Moe Dee, Canibus, Hammer, and Ice-T have all faded after a LL confrontation and Nas dropped Ether and 50 Cent is waiting for a direct response from Hov. He did get Prodigy from Mobb Deep though.

Nas was chilling and doing him when Jay fired his first shot. LL is from Queen’s and from the battle era. Let’s see what happens!
