Kool G Rap and DJ Polo = Streets of New York

[Eziokilla9595]

Kool G Rap>The Notorious B.I.G & 2Pac

I'm sorry...but, it needed to be said.

[tonytuffers]

How can anyone hate this? These guys are speaking the truth and they didnt curse not even once. It's a sad world when people dont appreciate real rap.

[heysteele]

"A tired mother can't take no more, she found a bottle full of sleeping pills and took about 24" classic

[76Titleist]

I was born in 1976 and mind you I'm a white police officer. This was the type of rap music I was raised on. The kind that simply described the horror and darkness of the ghetto. The message was positive and often times lyrics were infused with suggestions on how to change things for the better. Kool G and Polo were men not like these Mobb Deep clowns and their cohorts who advocate and glamourize violence and death.

[tonytuffers]

@76Titleist Never thought I'd find myself ever agreeing with a cop but dude you definitely speakin the truth

[coltononline]

@76Titleist Not an officer, but I couldn't have said it better myself...

[whiptyme]

@76Titleist i tell people that all the time when they criticize rap!!! they think rap is all negative ...and its not it is entertainment so rappers embelish a little bit !!! but real rappers always put a positive swist in their raps...

[chuck57don]

Who gives a dam about what coast you're from, hip hop's been past that shit for years. The only difference are the types of sounds coming out of the region. East, West, South, Midwest, or Foreign I dig em all if they can rhyme and bring some real hip hop to the world.

[DaShizNips]

[leedafreak1]

[roofer10]

When artists have freedom, which they dont today, this is the type hype shit you get.

[jthesnake77]

Top 3-5 emcee EVER if not GOAT for his 20-25 year longevity...EVERYone of my top 50 favorite SUPER DUPER DOPE emcees list Kool G Rap in their personal top 5-10 ALWAYS....That says something...LIVING legend on so many levels

[THEBURNZINATOR]

everlast sampled this in death comes callin i think

[benson475]

people allways talk about rappers that are dead like pac and biggie , dont get me wrong they are dope but what about those rappers who are still alive like kool g rap , rakim or masta ace, these rappers are legends and they rap on the same level like pac and biggie but they never got what they desrved.it seemes like everybody want´s what they can´t have so what the fu..k thumbs up if you agree

[bikerboy6660]

This is Hip Hop not rap music. Lyrical content story telling with out ignorance.

[basruttenX]

KOOL G RAP interview tonight on KABF.US with the professor mike jordan.

12:00am-2:00am CENTRAL TIME! dont miss it!

[twiztajoka69]

To the 10 people who dislike this. You need to seriously eat a bowl of dicks. Who the fuck do you listen to Waka Flacka? Lil Boosie? Drake? Fuck outta here and respect a true legend in the game. A legend with an epic flow that every single fucking rapper in the game pays homage to in private but is too bitch made to do it in public. Even officer ricky did a track with him which blew my fucking wig back!

He is and should be in the top 5 of every real hip hop head

[SoccertBeatZ]

< check this

who need beats?

[mrdestiny2011]

Nice combination of a great beat with a nice guitar riff and who can forget that sax, it all equals a classic by Kool G Rap and DJ Polo.

[PlekzMan]

G Rap was, for me, the first real complex rapper, using multi-syllable rhyming schemes consistently. A true legend.

[twiztajoka69]

@PlekzMan I totally 100% agree with you all day. It's a shame a lot of young cats are not up on him. u know ure music brah.

[PlekzMan]

@twiztajoka69

Your right man, it's a shame alot of the youth are being brainwashed by the likes of Nelly, Souljah Boy, Lil' Wayne, Flo-Rida, Gucci Mane etc... When REAL rappers like G Rap, Kweli, Common, Mos Def, Immortal Technique, Jehst, Lowkey, Brother Ali etc are only known by the minority. Damn you Music Industry!

[BigLTheBestMC]

Can anybody tell me a fuck load of Kool G Rap Songs? like good ones? i just started listening to him, i listening to Big L, Big Pun, 2Pac, Biggie, Eazy-E, Nas, ODB, Eminem Exc, Thanks

[catch2370]

10 dislikes? WHO THE FUCK IS YOU

[mrdestiny2011]

@catch2370 I don't know what they were listning to but they need to go to a good ear doctor. I mean a real good one.

[josecahouse]

Kool G Rap & Large P collaboration! CLASSIC!

[Robjs1983]

this dude is seriously underrated. However, he probably likes keepin it "low key"  because hes the real deal in more ways then one if ya catch my drift

[jeffreybiderpdee]

Without G Rap, no Biggie. People shouldn't forget that G Rap started mafioso rap

[TheFreshEC]

@jeffreybiderpdee they also should not forget that rap is created on the east before saying east sucks

[Gabrielregalado2]

@TheFreshEC

the should also not forget that tupac was BORN on the east

[TheFreshEC]

@Gabrielregalado2 Indeed

[reeveslpn]

Kool G Rap very under rated!!!

[skarrhart]

I'm 35.. this is still the realest shit ever. 20 years later.

[twinnmusic]

Classic! New Kool G Rap on my channel.

[GEORGETREVOR]

JAY-Z WISHES HE COULD PRODUCE REAL HIP-HOP LIKE THIS. JUST LISTEN & REALISE WHAT A JOKE HE IS.

[chuck57don]

[NicKingPapiChulo]

@chuck57don sorry to brake it down to ya but LL was there before G Rap & G rap was probably listenin to him like a lotta rappers who came after from pac to BIG to Jay, Fat Joe... LL was the man back in the 80's but dont get me wrong G rap is lengend as well

No matter who we like we must remember hip hop is about the balance of the songs meaning whether its lyrics is gangsta, party, pop, hardcore whatever and the music is important Kool Grap & Dj Polo is legends.

Fire.....History!

@clarencejones07 I got that book for christmas, says G Rap is one of the most influential and skilled MC's of all time on the 2nd page after the table of contents. Pun, Jay-Z, Rugged Man and many more cited G Rap as an influence.
