Kool G Rap Shares Rare Stories On Nas, Big Pun + 2Pac & Speaks On New Album 

Kool G Rap might not be a billionaire but hes still got his soul. Big up to G Rap one of my favorite rappers!!

I Like how he said Pac didnt care about being the best rapper or the best lyricist .. instead describing him as a movement ... a revolutionist without a revolution.. like he was bigger than all that .. and he was right

Your favorite rapper's favorite rapper's favorite rapper

Kool G Rap is a Legend and he is still fucking humble. Respect!

Tupac was literally every where in the 90s, everybody has a story about him

This man is a god in multi-syllables

His verse on "The Realest" with Mobb Deep was legendary.

G Rap is a man's man...polished delivery...great storyteller...profound lyrics..perfect MC

the man is a legend.

27:40 BIG PUN STORY (LIKE THIS SHIT SO PPL CAN SEE)

Respect for giving the god 40 minutes well deserved

Most underrated rapper of all time. RAKIM, KANE, AND G-RAP are the GOATS. They changed the way everybody spit on a massive scale. If you under 45 years old, and not from NY or the tri state area, and wasnt a fan of hip hop during that era, as much as you think you know, you will NEVER understand. Theses dudes birthed "modern" rap. There was a before these three and after these three. Will somebody surpass them, probably, but we still live on the strength of how they changed what we expect out of lyricism.

Every time Big Pun saw G rap he called him Master...

2PAC was most certainly a movement. Best way i've heard Pac described and of course it came from the OG Giancana. Great interview

The Godfather East Coast Gangsta rap.

"many necks I broke many necks I choked and if provoked I let the pistol smoke"

G-Rap the real Goat!!!

The man who Nas and big pun got there style from!

G. Rap is in the Mount Rushmore when it comes to lyrical content. This dude said things on wax that cats just can't touch... SO DON'T TRY!

Kids these day will never Knowmnsayin.

2pac forever!!!!!!!!

Kool G Rap is THEE blueprint for some of the grimey 90's best NY emcees... From the complex, multisyllabic rhyme schemes to the mafioso imagery, fly baller talk and slick af sex/gun bars, he set a stylistic standard, beginning in the mid to late 80's, that many of the greats happily paid homage and to this very can also go bar for bar, with ANYONE, from any ERA!! #GOAT

It's simple I see Kool G Rap in the title and I like.

This man was definitely underrated! Slept on. His flows was crucial!!!!!

Stories for days!!! Imagine the stories lil uzi gonna have? Who wore the best romper back in the day 🤦🏽‍♂️

Kool G Rap the man, the myth, the legend...

living legend underrated MC

Much love from Mississippi to Kool G Rap! Dude is a legend

Kool G is in my top 5 of all time.

I never understood when people made the argument that Tupac wasnt a lyricist when he never had a bad line. So many rappers, even the most lyrical rappers, had bad lines that were cringe and considered bad, but they ignore it. People claim DMX was lyrical and he has the lowest vocabulary of all time if u compare him to the popular known rappers according to a study made by Matt Daniels. The weird shit bout people saying DMX is lyrical and Pac wasnt is that DMX used a similar flow and delivery like Pac and dats really confusing. People say Biggie was so much lyrical than Pac but what made Biggie great was his flow rather than his lyrics, Big's ability to ride a beat like a saxophone was unique in hip hop and his lyrics became almost secondary. Also, people say Ice Cube and Scarface were lyricist, but they were similar to Tupac because they had simplistic flows, were storytellers, and had content/message. Ice Cube and Scarface werent rappers dat used a lot of wordplay, using different syllables, having metaphors/punchlines compared to other rappers, they were straight-forward rappers just like Pac. People have this weird obsession to not give Pac credit, whats wrong wit saying Tupac was lyrical? I respect Kool G Rap's opinion on Tupac not being lyrical, but it gets tiring when people say the same shit about Pac, it seems like an agenda. Look up the lyrics Tupac has, it has so many shit hes talking whether its religion, making peace among thugs and the community, trying to make business in the hood and passing money to the next generation, etc. Pac's lyrics are deeper than what people think and people dont dig deep, they just go by popular opinion and its tiring hearing people say the same diatribe.

BIG PUN 1000% REAL!

G-RAp got em all fooled. That cat was doing that shit back then

The Streets of New York, where the dope fiends fiend for morohine, and the TV screens follow the homicide scenes...

your favorite rappers, favorite rapper

He's so humble when he definitely has a place in the top 5 MCs of all time. He might be number 1.

G Rap's flows have been deadly since the 80's.

This man right here is the greatest to ever do it Point blank period

Gotta respect Rosenberg for knowing his hip hop on some real shit!

Queens is the greatest borough to do hip hop. Period. Kool G Rap, Nas, 50 Cent, A Tribe Called Quest, Mobb Deep, Nore, Onyx, Lost Boys, and a BIG etc. So many legends. Not just artists that made a mark but actual legends.

Probably one of the most underrated rappers ever. It's a shame when people mention their Top 10 his name rarely comes up, one of the all time greats.

The original hardest rapper, before Styles P. Much respect!

2pac was a lyricist and everyone try to down play it cause he was the most successful

One of my favorite MCs growing up! Very influential to the hip hop genre. G Raps flow is phenmonal! And wow! What a humble guy. I respect him even more now than ever.

This man's got to be the greatest MC that ever lived it's a demo can still slay a lot of artist that are currently out there when it comes to lyrical finesse and content. Don't believe me just read the lyrics and see for yourself And we talking how many decades ago... His lyrics are extraordinary.

I always enjoy hearing Pac stories.

one of the greatest. Still alive.

Kool G said a lot.... i hope these folks was listening... Pac was a movement (thats much bigger then the best lyricist title) Em is an alltime great.... this man who is on the mountain top of Rushmore with KRS1, RAKIM, and KANE...droppin gems

underrated king

one of the dopest interviews ever mich respect...pun kiss the ring now thats hip hop

I remember buying the single to It's a Shame and they had the accapella version and thought that was the best shit I heard in my life! Salute to G Rap

If only today's generation knew how GREAT this man is 😎 #456

This interview hits close to home a bit. I was part of the Illstreet Records street team for G'Raps 'Roots of Evil' album. Illstreet Records is family to me to this day. Lots and lots of awesome memories. All that aside, I believe that the difference between 2Pac & Biggie is the same difference between an MC & a Rapper, 2Pac was a rapper, a street minister, poet, teacher & a revolutionary activist... Biggie was an entertainer first and foremost... and a legendary one at that. Tupac had some extraordinary lyrical skills but the messages were almost always front and center in his music.

21:00 On Tupac

I was always a fan a G. Rap but after listening to him speak my like for him went even higher. Very humble man and I love his honesty. I'd really like to met him 1 day.

Now this brotha here I loved him and still do. He is the greatest rap music storyteller ever with a flow that nobody can duplicate! One of my favorite Rappers of all time!

kool g rap and lyrical god

kool g is the grandfather of gangster rap and doesn't get the respect or the legendary status he deserves

For all the youngins go listen to his verse on sway and techs "The anthem". Top 5 verse of all time. Impeccable flow and rhymin.

Rap just said That NAS was a pure fucking talent.....thas why NAS is the GOD hands down..

great interview. thank you.

I like this interview. they were really analyzing what went on and when the paradigm shift took place. There was suddenly a moment where now everyone wants the rappers to live out every lyric. I like how they explored the reasons for it.

Road to the Riches was the JBM anthem in philly in 89........FACTS....!!!!

Excellent excellent interview yo.....much respect to the legend G RAP.

Juice crew.

YO.... THE PUN STORY!! AMAZING!!! #SALUTE

And there you have it from the OG. Nas stepped it up lyrically on IWW.

The New York nigga swag is just oozing off this dude. Feels like im talking to a OG on the subway

Sooooo much respect for this Legend!!!

That's the difference, Kool G Rap is a layed back down to earth, humble dude. They had to get the stories out of him. With these new artists they LIVE for these radio interviews, so much more focus on the personality away from the microphone nowadays.

Thanks Kool for keeping things positive. Thanks Hot97 for taking Hip Hop back to the real reality and less of the nonsense. Powerful.

LEGEND!

Anybody remember the TDK blank tapes? They came in 30 minutes, 60 and 120. All I remember is that Kool G Rap and Polo tapes looked a little bit more that a 120 tape!!!! Yo, so.many songs per album!!! Good old times!!!👍👍

The GOAT cause He knowes He is the best and is still humble

It's a pleasure hearing so many foundation stories. He took it back to before million dollar deals multimillion dollar images. Unfortunately that's what people are nowadays they are a brand not a person, not a real story. They used to be a program that said that they were 8 million stories in the naked city G Rap took us back to that kind of beauty and grit.

The truth!!! A damn legend. Great interview.

One of the greatest mcees ever hands down period this Man deserves his flowers now while his presence still exist before our eyes 👀 much love 2 Kool G Zap 🙌🏾🇲🇦⚓️🛳 and u definitely help put a battery 🔋 in my back

Still want that G-Rap X ALC collab tape,hope they pull it out the vault someday

CAN NOT WAIT TO COP THIS ALBUM DOWNLOAD AND PURCHASE AND THATS RARE

Madd respect for G Rap and his skills..."a gap between the younsta's and Old G's"...truer words never spoken

Only discovered G Rap about 2 years ago with 4, 5, 6. Now he's one of my favorites, he's so ill wit it.

There's a difference between telling a story and being creative and frontin like you deep in the game!
