G rap is the greatest lyricist of all time!!! Lyrically the most influential. You can hear him in all the great lyricist from 1990 till now. And he still has momentum till this day!!!!

Kool wasn’t just a lyrical genius, he was a pioneer. He was one of the first rappers to show his human side of things in his music. Most rappers acted like Goliath and they were untouchable, yet Road to Riches showed himself as a man with a plan. I also liked how Money in the Bank was like a continuation of Road to Riches. Best Hip Hop song ever is Erase Racism by him, Big Daddy, And Biz.

G-Rap, what can I say? Other than I have him over Kane easy. Not taking nothing away from Kane but we going to be real today. I’ve sat back long enough hearing some people not giving G rap his propers on these lists. We’re getting it right today. I’m 48 and G rap, Kane and Rakim a year older than me. My point is in 86 when G came out with Rhyme time, his lyrics were flawless. He grabbed my attention the same way LL Cool J did in 84 with big words. Nobody was rhyming like that. Let me get back to my point between Kane and G Rap, on Kane first two albums he had like 5 good joints on each of those two albums to me. After those first two albums he was Finished, through, done. Why? because he wanted to be a damn chocolate Dracula lol. That’s what ultimately did him in. I know that whole back story about him changing up was because Bobby Brown and all them were touring heavy together back then. Anyway G Rap kept pushing and turning out album after album. G Rap catalogs are extensive and fire period. Kane and Rakim still in my top three though. G rap that dude is what I’m saying. No disrespect to anyone else for their opinion.

People like Nas, Big Pun, Black Thought, Royal Flush, & Prodigy (Mobb Deep). Although, G-Rap never gets the proper accolades, his impact is felt on the generation of emcees that he cultivated.

Road to the riches is one of the best Hiphop songs ever made. I heard some of those beats straight out of Large Professor's SP1200. Notably " Money in the bank " Love those 1st two albums.

Everyone skip over him. My fave forever with stories and lyrical gymnastics

Great documentary!!! I still listen to G Rap to this day... crazy how he did all this with a lisp in his younger days

With me this did it..."two major playas getting paper by the layers and those that betray us on the block get rock like Amadeus" Fast Life

His whole verse had me open on that song, made even Nas (who is dope in his own right) seem like an afterthought, lol

I concur with this assessment!

Now that I think about Queens maybe the Hip Hop capital of lisps. You got Kool G, Nore, Russell Simmons, and even though its man made "Fifffy Cent".

What was mad was that I never noticed his lisp for years.Then my brother heard him for the 1st time he noticed instantly.

Cannon Fire is another gem.. multi-syllabics!

Rakim said it best…” iron sharpens iron…. They kept each other on there toes

Love your lectures fam, keep up the great work 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌

Fast life with Nas was deadly too. Listen to it and come back and comment.
