In Chris Rock’s new film, Top Five, his character, Andre Allen, names his top five favorite rappers. And when he finishes the list, he gives an honorable mention to LL Cool J as his “sixth man.” That made us feel a little bad for LL, who, at one point, had the clout to coin the term G.O.A.T. (Greatest of All Time) for himself, and would’ve been in just about everybody’s top five. So we thought we’d pay tribute to the Queens trailblazer, who was the first rapper to receive MTV’s Video Vanguard Award in 1997, with a look at the Top 5 LL Cool J Videos. Solo tracks only, although we must give a tip of the hat to his supporting role in the classic video for Craig Mack’s “Flava in Ya Ear” remix.
