Kool G Rap on Big Pun Kneeling and Kissing His Ring When They Met
Legendary Emcee and Hip-Hop pioneer Kool G Rap sat down with Dj Vlad for an exclusive interview. In this clip, Kool G discusses his list of the greatest rappers of all time as he and Vlad go back and forth as to why Biggie and Pac were left off the list. Kool G also talks about meeting Big Pun for the first time and how a regular night in Los Angeles turned into a memorable one after Tupac showed up. Watch above.

I honestly don't understand how dudes can call themselves men and sweat Tupac the way they do. No man is beyond criticism; I get it he is the biggest icon of the ninties by FAR; bigger than Kurt Cobain or anyone else. He didn't have BARS though; he didn't spit hot 16s, he just didn't. He was passionate and charismatic and he wrote some powerful songs that hit you in the heart. I'm 37 Tupac was not in my top 10 back then or now. I loved Biggie back then but even at 15-16 I clowned him for letting Pac say all that stuff and Biggie dissing Faith (Brooklyn's Finest) instead of Tupac. A man should never sweat another man I don't care who it is.

the rugged indoorsman he could and did “Heartz of Men”, “Me Against the World”, “If I Die tonight” all had bars/wordplay “Violent” showcase his lyrical ability but Pac said in a interview himself he moved past that and wanted to just speak from the heart i think he already realized niggas dont care about all that other shit i mean look at hip hop today

You're RIGHT. I'm 41 and was like "meh" back then. Ma$e said "...write hot shit, that make niggas say 'REWIND THAT!'" That's what Tupac AND Biggie were missing. They had hot lines and songs that people remember, but that "rewind factor" is what both their music lacked. Neither said nothing serious, and I've said this since '96... That's when Jay-Z came out and Nas' second album was popping. Biggie AND Tupac sucked.

Kool G Rap one of my all time hip hop #1's. His influence was deep to include big daddy lane, Nas, mobb deep. Ice cube, scar face/ghetto boys. Pharaoh monk, Wu tang army's so many more.

Big Daddy Kane!
The fact that Eminem, pun , Nas and Dmx looked up to this guy. That says everything 💯
Kool G rap's "road to the riches" had the hardest clean hardcore lyrics ever.
Kool G is a humble man. Very modest. Truly one of the all time greatest MC's
KOOL G RAP IS ONE OF THE GREATEST TO BLESS A MIC A TRUE EMCEEEE ONE LOVVE TO KOOL G RAP
G rap the tank hip hop knowledge
Biggie a full-fledged wordsmith? ah.. wouldn't go there. to me wordsmiths are cats like: Pharoahe Monch, GZA, Chino XL, Pun, Kool Keith, Kane, G Rap himself, AZ, Del Funky Homosapien, Killah Priest, Percee P, Canibus, Black Thought etc. as that's mostly their specialty

I always see people looking for a word to describe how Pac was bigger than music, but they never quite say it. The word is REVOLUTIONARY. 2Pac was a revolutionary.
My top 3 been the same since '88. Da God Rakim Allah, KRS1, Kool G-Rap! Vlad may be a culture vulture, but I really appreciated this segment! G-rap is dat dude! #salute Thanks Vlad, I needed this one. Salute Big Pun! #realrecognizereal
I was born in '88 so G was before my time, but imo as far as 80's rappers I've heard my top 5 would be 1- kool g rap 2- Rakim 3- LL cool j 4- slick rick 5- big daddy kane

2Pac used multi syllable rhyming a lot of times, while still getting his point across. He may have sacrificed some lyricism to get a point across - But lyrically Pac was a beast! He grabbed your attention with his lyrics and had serious points with impact. The words 'Pac used/wordplay and his message behind it alone makes him a lyricist.

A very humble person, his way of speaking is very beautiful, also his calm personality, his regular dress gives elegance to his personality, plus the way he puts a cap on his head, and his music is like lust, attracted to it the first time you hear it, a great respect for you, I am from Morocco 🇲🇦 and I love your music very much, as long as you shine and a shining star in the sky of hip-hop G❤❤
Thank you , Kool G Rap, for another Classy Appearance. I Love the way you deflect talking about Others..... Omerta.

BIG PUN COULD KNEEL!???!!!
Great interview
subjectively it's not that hard to tell who's the best rapper - the best rapper of all time is the Kool Genius of Rap, idk who'd have gotten more balls and authority to claim this than Big Pun. Kool G is the bass, it's the foundation of the best rhyme techniques, it's the spring that you taste when you're young and fresh and that you learn to really appreciate as you grow older. Kool G Rap is the teacher who brings you up and watches you grow, from within your heart, because ever since you get that taste, this flow of rhymes becomes a part of you. Thank you, G Rap, for your beautiful music. Cheers from Russia L & P
