Ill Street blues - Kool G Rap & DJ Polo

[zeze321147]

THE best way to show that hip hop comes frome jazz and rythm and blus

[heratism]

In a Interview where Melle Mel had to classify several Old School MCs, he rated Kool G Rap 11/10. This shows very plainly that Kool G Rap is one of the greatest living Rhymespitter out there.

[vicjoseromero]

Timeless.

[17bread]

i love being from the 90s. an era where music thrived and wasn't filled with trash and unoriginality. not everyone had tats and rapped about bitches and money, cars and clothes. rap was about real shit. story telling. not just a way to make money but a way to express yourself...

[TheMarxist622]

yo wtf happened to BET?!!?!?!

[duckdown1993]

Read the interviews G Rap has done about how he was with Tupac in LA during the riots in LA in 1992 you fucking herb. Face down ass up for Jay-Z and Kanye West you fucking fuck.

[ShY1CAS]

kAli doNT play G.....

[howardg93]

I USED TO WALK TO SCHOOL SINGING THIS

[brianb9532]

at 0:26 is that 2pac??

[exactlyvague]

@brianb9532 No, but you will spot him in a few Digital Underground videos where he got his start as a mainstream emcee.

[duckdown1993]

@exactlyvague

WRONG...that actually is Tupac. It was well known that Tupac had an incredible amount of respect for Kool G Rap. Go listen to a Kanye West album dude and stop speaking on real hip hop as it used to exist.

[exactlyvague]

@duckdown1993 So I couldn't see a face on a grainy ass video, are you trying to say Pac wasn't in Digital Underground? Easy young buck............

[duckdown1993]

@exactlyvague

Did I say he wasn't in Digital Underground? No, no I didn't.

Like I said, face down ass up for Kanye West

[exactlyvague]

@duckdown1993 Well you proclaimed I was wrong about something, the matter which I stated I didn't recognize a face, in a grainy video. Leaving only one other thing. So how old were you when this album dropped young buck?

[duckdown1993]

@exactlyvague

NEGATIVE! You said it wasn't Tupac as a statment of fact. You didn't say "maybe" or "I can't see" or "I don't think so." You said it wasn't him and I've shown you were absolutely WRONG about that. You're a horrible person for being so careless. Get a grip on the fact that you don't have any earthly clue of what you're talking about.

[Thys93]

Got this on repeat

[rakimkoolgrapwutang]

@cbus03 agree

[nem700]

@cbus03

every rapper in the 90s was in some way influenced by g rap. he was the first to use multisyllabic rhymes and to have mafioso rhymes.

[rakimkoolgrapwutang]

@nem700 rakim had duosyllabic rhyming in i aint ni joke u know that rhyme scheme were he rhmed doin ruin and you an' together. so i wuld say ra invented multisyllabic rhyming but KGR is the master of multies and took them further than ra
