Aaaaaand this is how a legacy is ruined...

Rick ross can't play role for escorts so that would be nice click. Keep it up

You're right about Foxy, for some reason I thought the Jay single came out before. But Keith Murray's biggest hit EVER came out the year before so you can't say he wasn't already buzzin. Same with prodigy, shook ones pt 2 came out the year prior on The Infamous which had features from Nas, Raekwon and Ghost when Wu Tang and Nas ruled the world. If those are major co-signs (outside of BIG I guess) then I don't know what is (not to mention q-tip and the queens connectipn). Again not disputing LL's importance to the game but perhaps this single's power (in terms of boosting said artists' profiles) was a little overstated. And I think it's a monster of a single and great shots at Pac and west coast but all of the artists were already hot/got co-sign outside of Foxy. Btw this beat is still one of the all time greats.

"against tomato can" lol B. Dot got jokes

LL was the first to put foxy on a track, i shot ya, that came out a year before ain't no, by then she was already hot because of that LL track, no one had heard about her until she got on that song with LL, facts....keith murray, prodigy, etc no rappers from ny put them on their albums, nas didn't, neither did anyone else, LL was one of the only veteran ny artists to do songs with younger ny artists from different camps who were on the come up, facts
