[msnikish11]

@DRUTTTTTTA say word!!!! for sure??? i havnt heard that...i hope it drops for real....bill and rae are supposed to drop an album together too!!

[Amidat]

the sad thing is that G Rap issued this song as a warning... he wasn't endorsing going to jail... but ppl seem to take it as such.

[Amidat]

@anon4374 - there are a lot of things you can't find on the internet... that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I personally have no idea if he's been locked up or not.

[MoJoThundRpants]

I like NORE's take on this

[personalfunfest]

Kool G is the best rapper of all time -- sorry its true -- everything BIgge and 2pac did, except NO crossover pop 'dance jams'...

[jruperro]

@personalfunfest Goddamn right, but I would put Scarface next to him.

[Calatafimi]

Sorry, but if you listen to the hook on this tune, it sounds like a dude being raped in jail:

"Rikers..ugh...uh...r-rr-rrike­rs...ugh...ugh...rikers..uhh..­.urgh..urhh...rikers...

[HipHopHead187]

[adamtickle]

Back when having lyrical content was cool... i miss those days.

[ricc11ii]

lol (haters buggae) whats wrong with some of these guys, learn to appreciate and do something good for ourselves

[MrEddieferrari]

36 chambers is the only decent wu material, cream is 1 of the best hip hop tunes eva, for real , but illmatic is still a better album, pac an biggie were a different style, jada isn't in wu's league tho u clown, anyway, rakim the best.and not every wu member was a great rapper at all, odb was a comedy character not a serious rapper

[KidNova366]

@MrEddieferrari odb was one of the rawest. he was far from stupid and his style was sick, he never fronted he kept it wun hundred. u dont kno wat u sayen dog

[krazyfan2000]

@MrEddieferrari , you are bugging about 36 Chambers being the only decent Wu material..Only built for Cuban Linx, Iron Man, Liquid Swords..Need I say more...

[msnikish11]

@krazyfan2000 hahaha true dat

[spontanrapmc]

It aint dead...just dick 4 it

[InspectahDeck718]

You might be illin, you might be wylin, but you won't be smilin on Riker's Island...classic!!

[CALICOTV301]

This is a classic!

But...seems like too many below me are commenting on prison.

STAY OUT OF PRISON! We are only disenfranchising ourselves and degenerating.

[undersquad09]

[pifftreez]

[pifftreez]

this is on rated xxx not wanted not or alive

[HipHopHead187]

maybe on that album its a mixtape, but originally it waz on "Wanted: dead or alive".

[verb1]

@HipHopHead187

"Rikers Island" was a 12" from 1987 that they re-released on Wanted Dead or Alive (and later on Rated XXX).

[poorpocket1]

Queens stand up!! Act like u know!! Queens Hip hop we made History!!

[jnorth]

[HipHopHead187]

@Spike00513z lol da wire & AA battery trick or da wire in da outlet trick, but that is more risky cuz niggaz overload da power circuits & da C/O.s get tight & punish us in sum way, maybe a search in da middle of da nite or no commensary day or no telefone for da day. hell yea i would wake up if sum dumb ass nigga burnt my toes. lol

[Spike00513z]

[Tacticalgrappler]

I don't require brass knuckles to damage you psychically, your nothing but a ignorant grunt lost in a sea of drug trafficking and handball matches. Y.K. is an acronym for young knuckle head if you even had the opportunity to be in my presence you would shiver more than Mohammad Ali in an igloo. Just look at my user name and anyone smart wouldn't talk shit , you fucking slum dweller!

[Spike00513z]

tactical grappler

shut the fuck up

[Tacticalgrappler]

@Spike00513z get my dick out of your mouth if the comment was not directed towards you what are you crying about pussy in the street you wouldn't dare tell me that to my face!

[Spike00513z]

when the fuck was i talkin to you faggot i was talkin to hiphophead about somebody burning toes

who the fuck are you

tactical grappler, fool i would knock you the fuck out or shoot your ass for fun

[Tacticalgrappler]

@Spike00513z  you are most likely 100lbs soaking wet ill hit you in your chest and have you flying like you were born with wings on your back. Do not let this type of music amp you up causing you to believe you can harm a fly. Swallow a HIV infected cock and die pussy!

[Spike00513z]

right nigga shut da fuck up

[Tacticalgrappler]

@Spike00513z Learn how to spell you homosexual!

[Spike00513z]

nigga right because im typin an essay for you right?shut da fuck up, learn to be a man you stupidass faggot

tactical grappler, you know why people grapple, because theyre too fuckin weak and bitch to handle standing the fuck up and fighting by the marquess of queensbury you stupid fuck, stand the fuck up and fight like a man, or wait, you cant, thats why you grapple, because your bitchass cant hold your hands up, you get tired, and because you cant fight, stupid faggot

[Tacticalgrappler]

@Spike00513z Niggers is saying that Spike00513z is Zab and that im Mayweather and whether i may win even-though im way better , well if that shits possible and niggers say Spike00513z is Zab..... we gonna resort to the past ,me Kostya Tszyu. No rules in a street fight dumb ass a win is a win. Ignorant jack asses such as yourself are too easy to eliminate haha!

[Spike00513z]

dumbass "grappler" are you still talking

[Tacticalgrappler]

shut the fuck up pussy your comment is "Public", available to every one and obviously(correct spelling!) you are the original dickhead posting some corn ball ass comment. please Do not let Harlem get you gassed you can be knocked out too , fucking scum bag!

[Tacticalgrappler]

Who the fuck cares?

[ActionFarter]

My money is on the street brawler...i seen guys fight and throw their " tactics" out the window...lmao! harlem stand up!!

[Tacticalgrappler]

Hmmm words of wisdom from a fool who's name is a synonym for passing gas. You've seen guys fight ? please keep in mind that slap boxing does not count. That "Harlem" state of mind will have you and ykeastharlem119 bleeding and spitting in fetal position. Motherfuckers on your "Block" such as Shareef and Naquan would get fuck up! Kimbo slice is a "Brawler" and he eventually got handled so keep your mouth shut with your little B.E.T. viewer comments.

[JACKSON1221]

them motherfuckers is BOLD tho lmaoo

[MuzikJunkyAES]

One of Marley Marl's best beats! Peace.

[willisweede1]

[aBuSiNgYoU]

DID SOME TIME IN THE 6 BUILDING AND OBCC AFTER I GOT OUT I MUST OF OVER PLAYED THIS SONG THINK HOW I WAS SMILING ON RIKERS ISLAND....DVrock RTH TA CYCREW

[soundboxbike]

Hot hot track. I hear seminal El-P production influences here. Props to Kool G Rap and DJ Polo the originators.

[SYDSTL80]

"Go out just like a trooper, stick out your chest!"

[CanarsieBrooklyn]

Did 58 days in C-74 in 2 Main in the Projects right when this song camed out, can't believe how long ago that was, definitely one of my fav songs of all time.

[HiphopSushi]

Actually alot of MCs have a lisp. This track is a very informative lesson for the youth.

[monkymaster1]

woo one of the few rappers with a lisp

[NYPlasticPaddy]

Spent 3 weeks in this joint with 6 other guys I knew who were also NY Guardian Angels arrested on trumped up charges

[skymunro]

hahah!! your a guardian angel?? they didnt put you in the dorm with the populace did they?...you had to be in the blocks on pc....

[NYShuffle]

actually they did put us in population, up until we we struck a guard then they sent us to the Bing for like 3 weeks then when we went to court the judge threw out the charges and we were released

[Luckilius]

This chorus would sound dope set to 50 Cent's "I Get Money" backing track.

[CarsonHot]

Somebody lookin at you sharpening a table spoon.

[realhiptothehop]

wow,hes style changed dramatically from this to half a klip..

[etaylorgroup00]

[gambino451]

u 4got 1986 boogie down production cant 4get them

[NYCzkidd1]

KWEENZ ALL DAii

[nevawrong]

i was born in 1971, so i was to young for DISCO

1980 i was 8 - SUGAR HILL GANG - "RAPPERS DELEIGHT"

1984 i was 12 - BREAKDANCING was at its peak, & RUNDMC arrived

1988 i was 16 - RAKIM, KANE, KRS-1, & KOOL G.RAP were out

1993 i was 21 - WUTANG & ONYX arrived

1994 i was 22 - NAS & BIGGIE first albums

1995 i was 23 - the EAST & WEST coast rap was on FIRE, with BIG & TUPAC

1998 i was 26 - JAY-Z & DMX were hot

2003 i was 31 - G-UNIT & EMINEM were on fire

2009 im 37, & hiphop is dead

[paradisetheprolific]

It aint dead, its just going through its phases. Remember even Hammer & Vanilla Ice were HOT at 1 point. Dere r spitters in Da game, & Da underground is slowly bubbling over again in places.

[paradisetheprolific]

Rappers R back on their grind like D Wu days, putting out product on indies more Dan ever. Dere is so much 2 love & hate about hiphop, but the beauty is that the culture is still here & will never die. Its kinda like RockNRoll, but the biggest flaw is the angst & BS imagery that rappers feel they need to portray inorder to be real. Shit I remember when Chuck D, KRS1 & knowledge spitters were the realest! Now its kinda all about most web hits and google searches.

[paradisetheprolific]

Im writing my autobiography at the moment and was thinking bout the first time I got knocked and locked on the Island... hence how I came to be googling G rap's Riker's Island. By all means this is a conscious track. A warning to the youth. Much like the message, but at the time... Oh my God. Only the hardest niggas was rocking and literally robbing to this.

I'm hiphop since 79 till the day I die. It aint dead hommie, just brain dead. LOL

[nevawrong]

words of wisdom homey : )

[paradisetheprolific]

@nevawrong damn... I'm just getn my youtube on, never wanted to pimp myself out here too, so I aint been on this thing like that... just saw your msg. It was wisdom gained at a high price.

One

[chrisrap4ever]

u lucky man! u lived to see it.

[FUCKULUKEFITZGERALD]

Shir, 2003 wasn't the best year either, Eminem sold out and 50 Cent was considered a good rapper. Bad times.

[nevawrong]

50 is not a good rapper??

since when?

because i love GET RICH OR DIE TRYING

fuckin classic : )

[darkmanstallion]

@FUCKULUKEFITZGERALD i couldn't agree more i bet a couple of people his first album would be his best one after that he is done , and he proved me right one and done

[sheckla]

@FUCKULUKEFITZGERALD YOU MUST BE A STUPID MOTHER FUCKER LISTIN TO 50CENT- POWER OF THE DOLLOR NOTHING BUT FUCKIN LYRICS AND TALEN ON THA WHOLE ALBUM LET ME GUSSE UR TOP 5 IS WAYNE DRAKE AN YOUNG MONEY GARBAGE ASS NIGGA 50 IS A LEGEND

[FUCKULUKEFITZGERALD]

@sheckla 50 is terrible dude, his lyrics are shit.

[cormegaful]

@sheckla lolz Are You Slow??.....How would "FUCKLUKEFITZGERALD'S" Top 5 be Wayne, Drake or anyone even close to being like that? Hes commenting on a G Rap Track.....Dumbass. Are You in Love with 50 CENT? LOL!!

[nastynas373]

@FUCKULUKEFITZGERALD well stated. 50 is an insecure asshole. in 07 he called kanye gay, then turned around and stated he's definitely not gay from hearing of stuff he did with European girls, and even stated that he loved ye's music. he's insulted the entire wu-tang clan, nas, jadakiss, jay-z, etc (and of course turned around and said nas is a legend and loves his music...)

[RSMontageJasteR18]

@nastynas373 wu-tang clan, jadakiss and jay-z are shit theyv'e help destory real hip hop stick to oldskool kid its better,

You say Soulja Boy, I say Ice Cube

You say T-Pain, I say Biggie and 2pac

You say Lil Wayne, I say NWA

You say Flo Rida, I say Eazy-e

You say Akon, I say Dr Dre

Copy/Paste if you still listen to real hip hop/ rap

[nastynas373]

@RSMontageJasteR18 how did wu destroy hip hop? lol every wu member is an amazing rapper

[krusher181]

@RSMontageJasteR18 dude wu tang clan saved ny hip hop from the shit that was biggie and tupac, mad respect to them both but club rap is one thing and wu tang is another. RZA be the best and RIP ODB

[cormegaful]

@RSMontageJasteR18 Wu-Tang and Jadakiss DID NOT destroy hip hop!! You crazy!!!

[priceyhabits]

@RSMontageJasteR18

i'll bet you thought that bullshit you were typing made some sense. wu tang clan and jada destroyed rap?

ok

[cormegaful]

@RSMontageJasteR18 You're a fucking retard.

[TopShotta10904]

@FUCKULUKEFITZGERALD I kinda disagree, if you listen to Power of the Dollar, that's when 50 was cool w/50, Mobb Deep, Nature and rhymin like a QB dude, a lot more depth and thought in his rhymes. Good Die Young, Ghetto Quaran, I'm A Hustler, 50 Bars, The Hit, etc. He was a beast back then, now and then, all u do is catch glimpses of the potential he had on the mixtapes....

But I won't lie, he def felloff....

[MrtwoOneFifth]

@FUCKULUKEFITZGERALD agreed

[qwandiddy]

@FUCKULUKEFITZGERALD This is what's wrong with Hip Hop today for the last 11 years. Very Sad!!! Lil Wayne is worse of all.

[getyoasshome]

damn.........you right.

[willycole]

Word this was around 88.

[dodge1991]

actually it was 87 so yeah it was way before the album.

[NicKingPapiChulo]

"u might be coolin', u might be stylin' but u wont be smillin' on Rikers Island" dat shit is tight!

[NicKingPapiChulo]

when did this track come out?

[pdm146]

1990

[deenraida]

nah. It was about 88 . This was his 1st single (It's a Demo/ Riker's Island) It came out way before the album in 1990.

[tyme2reup]

nevr me lookin bak da shit. im in fuckin diff state 4 good & doin good.

[tyme2reup]

187 so fuckin true , we burnin after lites out EFN.

[SparkWater]

The Island was much ,much worse back in the 80's through the early 90's.There was no such thing as street gangs running the joint. Back then you ran with your race and what borough your from.They use to have Queens house,Brooklyn house and so on.The DVD Scarface most of their stories were from that era...

[est1985buckcity]

yea thats SCARFACE dvd makes u not wanna go to RIKERS

[HipHopHead187]

[titosnla]

GooD shit. Any other rappers similar to Kool?

[HipHopHead187]

Da 1s that can come close 2 G Rap's versitility & rymes is Big Pun & Big L. But Big pun is more like KGR, He adapted same style same versitility same topics. Pun's biggest influnece waz actually Kool G rap. In an interview G rap sed that Big pun got on his kness & kissed his ring.

[titosnla]

i knew about Pun n L (FAVS) ANY MORE PEOPLE?

[alexmiddleton4]

R.A. The Rugged Man.

[drunkfux1]

R.A RUGGED MAN LINE FROM LESSONS "I DON'T WANT FANS WHO DON'T KNOW WHO G-RAP IS"

so true

[kevin0070]

When I first heard this song, I thought it was someone rapping that just sounded like Kool G Rap.

[NYCNNJ]

Folsom and San Quentin. Motherfuckers always got something to say to make their town city and state look tougher then NYC. Motherfuckers never even been tot he island. Keep thinking shit is sweet out here out of town fucks. Have you been to the Island nigga? Have you been Upstate Nigga? NYC has always been to get busy whether its inside or outside of the cage. Dont ever forget it

[HipHopHead187]

Word up dunn. I agree these niggaz tryin 2 make they city look hard & shit. wait till they go 2 da island & they see how it is. C-74 & C-76 4 main da house of pain,get 2 knowin outta town niggaz.
