LL Cool J has argued that he paved the way for a number of modern rappers who approach certain themes, singling out Drake, Fabolous and Jadakiss.

Discussing his 1987 hit I Need Love, one of the first sensitive hip-hop tracks to become a hit, the rapper remembered a lot of friction when the track was released.

Back then, it was really conservative and if the energy wasnt testosterone, like Im punching you in your face, kicking the door down, you dont get a lot of credit, he told Complex.

In hip hop, you only get brownie points for creativity within certain parameters When you try to go outside of that box, if its anything thats not considered 1000% street, [you get] no credit.

Later in the interview, LL said he was glad that it created a genre, before singling out some of the rappers he believes hes inspired.

Going on to address direct comparisons to Drake, LL said: Were very different artists because I have a lot of hard records and Im very diverse, he continued. But in that aspect of my career, it paved the way for guys like that who Im happy for. I like a lot of his music too.

Drake meanwhile, apologised last week for referring to Kylie Jenner as his side-piece in a track hed released a few days earlier.
