ll cool j has been around forever and still makes platinum albums -
You must be which artists have been around the longest, and still can sell an album. In that case, LL's been around for 21 albums, and mid 80's. So I would say he is it.

Often times I wonder why
There's love and hate, theres live or die.
When sickness comes I must decide:
When feelings go, theres suicide.

Dr Dre has been making records for about 20 years beginning with the World Class Wreckin Crew in '84-'85 I believe. He has never stopped making them platinum.
Will Smith, used to be the "Fresh Prince" who is now an actor/icon, has been pumping out rap albums since the mid 80's also.
Same story with Ice Cube who started in the group NWA in '86.
Rakim has had a decent run since the mid 80's.
Most contemporary rap arists seem to have started after 1990, after Vanilla/Hammer became rap/pop sensations.Comment

Dre, Will Smith, LL, Beasties, Run DMC, De La Soul, KRS-One and Kool Keith are all some big name hip hop acts that have been around since the 80s.

Okay, so I did some digging...Grand Master Flash has been around since the early 70's, and is fer sure one of the pioneers of rap music. Also included on the list are Afrika Bambaataa, Cool DJ Herc, Kurtis Blow, Run DMC, and the Sugarhill Gang.
Here's an interesting article on the subject:

Big Daddy Kane hasn't released an album since 98. And since 99, EPMD has only released a single. Erick Sermon's career has continued though since EPMD.Originally posted by Corleone
Although he's a pioneer and still a prolific DJ, GMF hasn't released an album since 97. Kool DJ Herc is another pioneer but retired in the 90s. Kurtis Blow's last release dates back to the mid 80s. The only thing the Sugarhill Gang has done since the mid 80s is a rap album for kids.Originally posted by AsianDivaGirlsWebDude

Dr Dre has NOT been an mc for that long , he started as a DJ so you cant count those years
his first REALLY SUCCESFULL album was made in '93
LL is a hasbeen , all the singles he has been making lately all FLOP ,
the first REALLY SUCCESFULL album he made I think was in '85
Krs ONE NEVER made a REALLY SUCCESFULL album , although he made MANY MANY hip hop classics he doesnt do commercial rap and thus by the standards of this thread he doesn't apply
any rapper that started before '90 now = hasbeen , the only one that isn't is KRS , all the others = hasbeenComment

beastie boys.... even tho they have changed styles often, they are still mad original.
You know, they were the first rap group i remember in the 80's that had some crazy violence in their rhymes... everyone else during those times was rappin some happy go lucky shit.SIG TOO SMALL! Maximum 1200x600 button and no more than 30 text lines of ALL SIZES and COLORS. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 6240x4800 instead of a 1024x800.Comment
