Mafioso style rap and rap centered around organized crime is ordinary these days. Koll G rap was one of the first to do it. Often based on depictions of dangerous work at the lower end for and conflicts with the Mafia in New York. Largely the same theme as many blaxploitation movies in the 70's.
Kool G and Polo were 2 of the nicest people I ever met! I'm Barry Feterman the actor playing the mafia guy in the dark suit. I had a wig with me and it was my idea to flip it off my head,when I got shot. The director said,"ehh no!" But GRap said "I like that idea and made them keep it in the final shot. Then at the end he kicks the wig!! Lol...Great stuff!!!
Getting your girl caught up in your dirty shit, she gets hit in the arm, brush it off by "oh she just got hit in the arm", then wake her up with "wake up stupid, we gotta go" Black people, how do they work? Hahahaha. Respect Kool G, but this track will always make me laugh like mad.
Hell yeah that is a classic kool g rap and dj polo song on the run i miss the real 90 hip hop music I don't play any of that new shirt out today it sounds garbage and it fucking sucks
was the year that I came into the world and I learned about Kool G Rap throughout my years and became a big fan of his is charisma Has Talent is unmatched even by the likes of Eminem
That's what rap used to be about storytelling like these rap song ghetto boys my mind playing tricks on me. Bushwick bill every so clearly. If you like let me know 😎😎😎
The Best Gangster Rapper To Ever Touch The Microphone.Nobody, i Mean Nobody, has a Greater Rap Gangster style than the one and only Legendary Kool G Rap.
The good old days where stories were told and you could understand the lyrics. Thank you God for allowing me to be young during the best years of rap/hip hop. 🔥🔥🔥🙏🙏🙏
+Patrick Cardnell Actually, you and I agree a lot more than you think. I KNOW that Kool G Rap is a LEGENDARY artist. But what YOU seem to not realize is that a lot of the younger generation is CLUELESS about legendary artists like Kool G Rap. A lot of young people who call themselves hip-hop fans have a terrible lack of knowledge about hip-hop history. Trust me, I've heard young people talk about hip-hop and their lack of knowledge about great hip-hop stars from the 80s and 90s is shocking. So, that is why I actually HOPE that people "spread the word" to these young kids about rap greats like Kool G Rap because I want them to know the greatness of Kool G Rap.
@@infamousc9999 Cool. There are many people, both young and old who don’t know about him, but, yes, I am sure some teens are aware. My previous comments were made to support the original commenter because he was criticized and called “retarded” which I thought was pretty harsh - haha
These wack "rappers" today must have dropped out or flunked the f*** out 2 weeks in. not speaking about ALL of them, but go**ammit, a good portion. Mumble auto-tuned clones and slaves to the same stale sound. ORIGINALLY ORIGINALITY and SKILL made for great MCs and DJ's.
It makes me proud to know i have done my part for educating the youth of today on real music and what a propper hip hop pioneer sounds like. My kid and my nephew are huge Juice Crew and G Rap fans especially. They play this classic alot and are basically 80's and 90's hip hop students. Its great when they ask about the music you grew up listening to like i did with my folks and uncles.
kool G Rap taught a lot of rappers how to rhyme. Lyrics were vivid, video was like a movie. Bill Blass is in the video, G took on the mob and came out on top. Classic!
#2💩pack & piggy🐷 were over-rated mediocre rapping fake gangsta media attention whores! KOOL G. RAP, BIG DADDY KANE, RAKIM, GURU, LL COOL J, CHUCK D / P.E., NAS, BIG PUN-ISHER, BIG L, BLACK THOUGHT, LAST EMPEROR -> the REAL HIP-HOP G.O.A.T.S.!!!! 🐐🔥🎤👽👑🎧💯
H0RD4K-SK3LET0R MUMM'R4-MEATHEAD you sound a fucking idiot. Pac is the best of all time. His content, style, versatility, symbolism, and impact on hip hop is undeniable. You are the definition of a hater.
@1:40 “I get nervous as hell G, a Lincoln continental pulled up right beside me” The feeling of adrenaline going to your body when you is in danger. This song was genius for its time!
Kool G Rap has it all. Being a drug runner for the mafia in New York. Shoot outs at the Mexican border when a drug deal goes wrong. Again working for the Mafia and taking out a bar owner "who snort, so he came up short" and then murder the boss who ordered the hit.
After hearing Kool DJ Red Alert first play this brilliant cut in1993, I'd be remiss not to mention Kool G Rap as being right up there with Slick Rick in the story telling genre. Whoa! You can really feel the suspense. Props to Trackmasters on this 1.
I wrote almost a year ago this is probably one of the greatest tracks since i first heard this before most of y'all knew or think you know what Hip Hop means?!?!?! This is what i call a tuuuuuuuuuuune! This remix version anyway! This is definitely the best beat for this track! Still spits the best gangster shit with Pac Cube & Ice T then and now. Every day is an Old Skool day 💯💙☮️🎃
Man I miss RapCity. My friend had a vhs of nothing but the best of the best videos from the day. Stuff we still don’t see anymore. Then his older brother taped fucking fishing shows over them. That was 30 years ago and I’ll still never forget.

People don't talk about this guy enough. This was like 92, fucking lyrical genius. Better then any newbies out right now by lightyears.
A Mafia movie in a rap video.. this shit is genius
That's why we call it Mafiaso rap . Raekwon is another good example of it.
