Rumors and speculation have been swirling in the hip-hop community after LL Cool J recently revealed his Def Jam Mount Rushmore list, which notably left out some major names in the industry. Among those omitted were iconic rappers like DMX, Jay Z, and Nas, sparking controversy and debate among fans and fellow artists alike.

However, one rapper who isn’t taking the snub lightly is Jadakiss, who has come forward to address LL Cool J’s list and the notable absence of his colleagues. In a recent interview with M.Reck, Jadakiss didn’t hold back, expressing his disappointment at the oversight and defending the legacy of DMX, Jay Z, and Nas.

“DMX, Jay Z, and Nas are some of the greatest to ever do it in hip-hop. They’ve influenced generations of artists and fans, and to not include them on a list like this is just disrespectful,” Jadakiss stated. “They deserve to be recognized for their contributions to the culture and their impact on the game.”

Jadakiss went on to express his belief that LL Cool J’s list may have been more personal than objective, suggesting that there may be underlying reasons for the exclusion of DMX, Jay Z, and Nas. Regardless, he made it clear that he stands by his fellow artists and their undeniable talent.

As the debate rages on and fans continue to weigh in on the controversy, one thing is certain – the conversation around hip-hop’s Mount Rushmore is far from over. With artists like Jadakiss speaking out and defending the legacies of their peers, it’s clear that there is still much to be said and discussed in the world of rap music.
