Shoot First Exactly. Illmatic from Nas was the 3rd hip hop album I owned and studied. About a year after I got Illmatic It Was Written dropped and Nas was in my top lists ever since. I never heard the fast life track with Kool G Rap and Nas until probably 2014, WTF! Talk about sleeping on someone hard.

This is why Kool G Rap is the greatest. He painted a perfect picture of New York. Wack rappers need to take notes from the greats

Few can paint vivid pictures w/their pen-game quite like G Rap. An all-time joint of his.. Shoutout & much respect to Extra P/Large Professor for this beat too.

Hip-hop poetry at it's best!!!

Hardest and realest description orf street life ever recorded!!!

i love those old school hip hop videos when the rapper is talking about his rough life and of the sudden there's a random dude break dancing in the background, damn i miss the 90's so much

Classic song

The Best Groovers aka Dancers for Rappers... Big Daddy Kane, Kool G Rap, Def Jeff , Special Mention to Bobby Brown "Heart N Soul'

Still watching 2k23 . This great music never loses its fiber . Absolute perfection here folks!

Classic street record for my NYC day one's!

To many, he’s the most slept on Legend in the game. After being a heavy hip hop head for 25 years and Nas being one of the first few MC’s I ever heard, I somehow missed out on Kool G Rap aside from a track with Mobb Deep and Jedi Mind Tricks and a few other features later in his career. I didn’t start listening to Hip Hop until I heard Liquid Swords from the GZA. It took me a while to go back and listen to those that came before the ones that got me into hip hip like Wu-Tang, Nas, Mobb Deep and Boot Camp Clik. Once I finally went back and listened to G Raps whole catalog I recognized his influence in the game, so many of my favorite rappers definitely took their inspiration from him. It took me until around 2014 to hear for the first time the Fast Life track with Nas, SMH. Kool G Rap has been one of my top MC’s ever since I got educated to his body of work. Roots of Evil is one of my favorite Hip Hop Albums of all time

This is a Legendary Masterpiece

This was like middle school dam how fast time flys .

Lil samples, straight Up , dem own beats and piano

Large professor is a beast

best of best

This song brings back so many memories, running in the streets back then was no game Thank God I changed And that's why I'm here today a lot of my friends didn't make it...

Kool G Rap is a legend

That instrumental is essential NYC, it just feels like walking downtown with all the dangers involved
