Queens-based Kool G Rap & DJ Polo left one of the most impressive rap discographies in their wake. Though Kool G Rap's growth as an MC from their first single in 1986 to their final album in 1992 was considerable, the duo started off running and never looked back. The pair never had the large profile enjoyed by others in Marley Marl's extended family (including Big Daddy Kane, Biz Markie, and Roxanne Shanté), but aftershocks continue to be felt throughout the East Coast, from the Notorious B.I.G. to Nas to Wu-Tang Clan to the underground scene.
When their first single, 1986's "I'm Fly"/"It's a Demo," was released on Cold Chillin', G Rap was already a formidable MC who could boast with the best of them. However, it would be narratives that he would become most known for, in addition to some of the raunchiest rhymes hip-hop has ever known. Throughout the years, Marley Marl, Large Professor, and Sir Jinx provided valuable production assistance. The duo released the formative "I'm Fly"/"It's a Demo" in 1986, but G Rap (born Nathaniel Wilson) truly broke out on the Juice Crew's "The Symphony," a group cut of great legend produced by Marley Marl that also included turns from Masta Ace, Craig G., and Big Daddy Kane. After a good deal of anticipation was built for the first Kool G Rap & DJ Polo album, Road to the Riches saw the light of day in 1989. Produced by Marl and released on his Cold Chillin' label, the album included a handful of timeless moments while alluding to greater potential.That potential was fulfilled with the following year's Wanted: Dead or Alive. Marley Marl remained partly responsible for the duo's sound, while Main Source's Large Professor and Eric B. also pitched in with production work. On this album, G Rap became an MC of top caliber; he expanded his range as a magnificent storyteller on tracks like "Streets of New York" (a number three rap single) and "Wanted: Dead or Alive." Released in 1992, Live and Let Die landed the duo in a bit of hot water; its cover, depicting the duo feeding meat to rabid dogs in front of two restrained white men, gained a fair amount of attention in the press. The controversy played a role in shooting the album up to the Top 20 of the R&B/hip-hop albums chart, but the attention unfortunately waned. Just as accomplished as Wanted: Dead or Alive (if not more so), the album featured the sympathetic handiwork of Sir Jinx and Trakmasterz and helped bring G Rap's increasingly profane and vivid tales to extreme levels.
G Rap and Polo went their separate ways shortly after that. G Rap put out three albums between the mid-'90s and early '00s, while Polo cut a single with Ice-T and porn star Ron Jeremy. Landspeed kept the duo's legacy alive through a low-key reissue campaign; in 2000 and 2001, separate releases combined the first two albums and anthologized their entire career together.

G rap is so overlooked, he's one of the illest to ever touch the mic
Facts
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!!!
Nice. I just noticed that. lol @@barryprofessionalmusicianc832
facts
@@barryprofessionalmusicianc832it's awesome, tell something more about behind the scenes of this video. I really love this masterpiece.
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.
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.

It's Kool g rap the creator and godfther of mafioso rap and multi syllable lyricism

Just listening to the lyrics is like watching a "film noir".. true crime stories!
exactly
"Started packing the Gucci bags like I was going on a world tour."
G-Rap is on fire.
Henny Lopez is fire
That's was up kid!!
"Grabbed the luggage and a gun../
Why every time i see this type of a comment , i immediately hear the line itself, i mean seriously what the hell?!
@@andrewsk6898 You right man it happens every time
G Rap needs to be heard by the new generation, for real, yo.
Only G.Rap can bring some shit on himself then make everybody else look like the bad guys😂😂 Legendary shit..
Its a gangster tale there is no good guys
@@ThatGuy-sc5rx you had to be the one
The villain and the hero at the same time.
Does anybody else appreciate that piano in the background 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Kendall Glenn I'm finna sample this in a beat
Kendal Amandla hell yeah! it’s dark sounding!

This single handedly changed the whole genre.

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.
For show low
Black thought is the new g rap
Yeah yo right on that yo, you couldnt compare nobody rappin in the 90s everybody sounded different and had they own style. This new shit is fo suckas.
Invisible Invincible none of them niggas can touch kool g. Lyrically? Bar for bar? Kool g eats those guys.
AMEN
3:15 He literally got his wig pushed back
I wasn't even born when this joint came out. Wish rap was still this good
Wake up stupid we gotta go. Classic.
sithlord519 He actually said "wake up bitch" on the actual track
sithlord519
Stupid works better!
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.
@@m0nZt3r this was fiction, to make an entertaining hip-hop track. Don't confuse it with reality. But we all get your point, it's ruthless behavior.
None of these mumble rappers can tell a story like this
Golden era how I miss it
Me too bro
dude this is when music was actually good
Me2
Back when rap was real story-telling and had a message.
"He said wait I wanna talk"
Buck-Buck!
"I put his brains on the sidewalk"
Robert Carmona
I still get chills when I hear the triple tap....Yeah What?!
"Buckin and buckin like I was duck huntin"
Top 10 lines ever
G Rap had them Rhymes for your ass.
@@TheDreserDeviant69 !!!
This dude should always be in any top 5 because of his storytelling flow and beats
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!
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.
You cant compare G rap with rappers, you gotta compare him to Scorsese, Tarantino, and all the great movie directors! Definitely above hip hop!
Even the visuals on point. Man they don't make em like this anymore
This is what you call a MASTERPIECE. Long live G Rap. Respect from Bulgaria.
From The Mighty Motherland of Hip Hop NYC it's Kool G Rap .
People dont understand to be 10 yrs old still get the vibes I get from watching now ...real street war music
One of my favorite songs. G Rap was on another level
Kool G Rap the best story telling with NO CURSING
One word describe this joint, "CLASSIC" 💯💪🏾
Kool G Rap he Killed it
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.
“Droppin’ em fast, as I’m blasting blood splashes”. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
G Rap got bars on bars !!! Fly Talk !!! Tampa Florida in this bih
Kool G Rap is legendary. So grateful to have grown with hip-hop through its golden age...

Happy 56th
Classic, real hip hop, storytelling on point, I miss this type of shit.

Happy birthday to Hip Hop Pioneer Kool G Rap 🎂🎈🎊🎉one of The greats
Kool G one of the best story tellers and one of the greats in hip hop history hands down
No doubt he inspired me too
song too Hard!!that beat fire as well.Hands down one of my fav tracks.
Hands down G rap had a great story to tell
he singled handedly added a sense of a urgency and complex wordplay to rap spread the word about this cat
Thomas Schroeder facts.
+Patrick Cardnell Is "spread the word" THAT bad? I mean, I don't use the expression myself, but, damn, your reaction, tho- LOL
+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.
@@MusicFanOnline DW some teens of this generation know a lot more than you might think
@@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
Pure genius 🔥
Kool Genius Raps
"He said 'Wait I wanna talk!' ... I put his brains on the sidewalk." Savage as fuck
real nyc darkness
THE GODFATHER OF RAP!......PERIOD!
Doesn't get much better than this!
Nigga should of been a writer with lyrics like that, Damn G real story teller!
This is one my favorite hip hop classics of all time. Peace Kool G, where ever you are. ✌🏽
One of the illest EVER!!!

This is so good it makes me wanna cry.....
This song turned me in to a gangster when I was younger. Kool G is the shit man.
All rappers should be subject to a skills training course before embarking on a serious career. Studying this song and video should be a requirement
Chris Masamune lol you are so right.
Exactly.
G Rap 🔥🔥🔥
Word
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.
Closing his eyelids with the hammer was crazy work 💯
what a dope song by G rap one the best storyteller rapper of all time
didn't git his due cuz it wuz crowded wit talent back den.
david lewis ya for real back then every rapper was lyrical
Ben Dover an that's why the think nwa was the 1st to bring gangster rap to the game but g-rap was already on it real shit late 80s
He commented about that schooly d thing check out the interview with dj vlad
kool G rap roots of evil

FACTS .. EVERY VERSE PLAYS A SCENE🤦🏾♂️🔥🔥😩🔥🔥
2020 still fire
Hells yea One of my favs back in the day...
Still bumping Jan 2019😎
You ever notice how hard this is with "No Curses".
Tyrone Williams "no curses"??? At 3:37 G Rap clearly says "put my gun to his head, WASSUP NOW MUTHAFUCKA"?? Yall wildin lol
1 curse at the end of the song. That is as close to none as you can get. Song is brutally hard with just 1 curse
This is not the original version of the song. It has mad curses.
@@stanspliff92 exactly. I didn't allow curses
This has been my anthem every day now
Kool G Rap.... A pioneer. One of the coldest rappers ever.
Kill G Rap should take one of his albums & turn it into a tv mini series.
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.
Oldies songs never dies 🤗👊
2021 and this song is still genius level!
Yo Kool g rap on the run is one of the hardest songs that ever been made
Kool g rap influenced lot of great rappers he deserves more recognition and he should be in top 10 list.

Not a Trackmasters joint. Sir Jinx and G Rap co-produced this.
@@fantasyguru26 I understand the original, but trackmasters did the untouchable remix.
@@rossdownwind Conflicting info on discogs but I think you're right on this one.
@@fantasyguru26 I have the “12 inch OG copy
He said , Wait ... I wanna Talk !!! Buck ! Buck ! Buck ! I put his brains on the sidewalk *Classic*
Yo storytelling at it's finest!
He said "my son is in the back catching heartburn!"..lol
I remember the day I first heard this work of art, I was a youngbul hustling 2 jobs and running the streets of Philly this embodied everything I lived for plus I felt where he was going before he said it so watching this video was like watching a movie 💎💎💎💎💎
The greatest mc of all time
KGR's best track!!! It's like listening to a movie you love visualizing...classic!!!
