For me true and talented MC's didn’t have to cuss every other word to sell records, BDK and Kool G rap show you how it's done some 20+ years ago. They both KILLED this joint with pure RAW rhyming skills, just flawless
EASILY two of the greatest rappers to EVER put it down in hip hop history!! Shout out to the SPECTACULAR Kool G.Rap and the INCREDIBLE Big Daddy Kane. Two hip hop and New York City ICONS!!
sorry, but Rakim -> BDK, stil' ) G Rap is up there, 4 sure BDK was great at t' time, but fell off too quickly did not maintain t' crown, as 2 me - though, surely, provided all of us with sum true samples of class 'n style )
@@yehor_ivanov KGR > Rakim. All of g raps stuff with polo then 456, roots of evil and giacana. Much better body of work than rakim. He’s still don g features for this day and killing his verses. He even has the album with necro too. G rap is the goat.
@@jak3brap10and you can’t understand what he is saying half of the time because he has a lisp’s,,,Rakim words are spoken clearly,,,,G Rap music is weak
I don't think I'd ever heard this original version of Raw before with both BDK & KGR. I'm not going to compare one person in the uppermost echelon in talent with another, but I have to completely agree with your general sentiment. Back when I was super into hip hop (1988-1994), I had all 3 of KGR's first 3 albums and it was obvious to me that he was being overlooked. Even within the Juice Crew, you had The Queen (and really only female star) Roxanne Shante', you had The King, BDK, you had the co-pioneer along with Shante, MC Shan (although Marley Marl had predecessors to Shan and Shante under his wing, those two eclipsed any of them, and they were the first of the "Juice Crew All Stars"), and in addition to Shante, Shan and BDK, you also had Biz Markie who got over mainly on comedy, although he was also talented, yes. So, it was easy to get lost in all those personalities. And then you had others who took longer to develop or came later and were stars in their own right such as GrandDaddy IU, Tragedy (Intelligent Hoodlum), Masta Ace (all of whose original albums I used to have, as well). So, it was hard to break out of that pack. In terms of actual throw-down ability, the only one back then in that bunch (that I know of) who was his equal or superior was BDK, and perhaps a little later on, GrandDaddy IU. Part of what might have worked against KGR is that he wasn't as conventionally marketable as Kane was (Kane was so freakin' handsome and smooth/slick), and he also projected a little more of a "Gangster" feel, too, which wasn't "the thing" just yet in the late 80s and very early 90s. Had he come out a few years later, and also not been lost in the Juice Crew Mix, he might have gotten bigger earlier. Also, I don't know how his talent evolved after "Live and Let Die", which I'm sure it did, but then again Kane's talent evolved, too (as did Rakim's). They all stepped up their game in their career multiple times, if not constantly. Anyway...yeah, KGR was great. And yes, "Talk Like Sex" (which, of course, S&P sampled in the improved remix of "Let's Talk About Sex"), and its successor "FUM" on the next album, were very guilty pleasures of mine back in the day - not exactly good messages, but in terms of wit and lyricism and delivery, those songs were all that.
@@vernonjohnson1198 who has the best flow is a debate that can go on for years, I'm specifically talking about how g raps flips his words and the speed that he does it at, IT IS specifically unique and what sets him apart from the pack even amongst the greatest, thats my point, if u still sayin ain't so cool or whatever but rakim didn't make his bones on rapid fire delivery, Rakim's style was more thought provoking than g rap.
Damn G Rap... This little note is like a formula, the antidote/for copycatters I quote than when I devote lyrics that I wrote/placed upon a beat so neat/orchestras & bands can't compete/or compare or even come near to this here/this is a mare affair, you just stare & cheer/crystal clear to your ear/perhaps some rappers are up there, to me they're just hollywood squares.... This was lyrics from the 80's, WOW!!
The sounds of 80s & 90s Hip-Hop was largely affected by the socio-political climates & audio technology of the time. While most Underground artists these days are trying to go in a new directions through use of abstract rhyming & psychedelic beats, many still have tracks that pay tribute to the origins of Hip-Hop, with traditional sample-based songs. Check out 'The Loyalists' , they're fond of a DJ Premier & Pete Rock style of production.
G Rap the Goat ,bodied it,Like Sean P said forget about Kane vs Rahkim ,GRap Beats Em All Kool G Rap top 10 Dead or Alive an he's still putting out Bangers ....
classic classic classic "i'm not mixed with any studio tricks, no special effects like you seeing a flick, i'm dramatic, so there you have it, i'm fantastic"
Somebody go and tell Black Thought.......don't you EVER think you have the Best FREESTYLE in the game BECAUSE, This Epic Masterpiece CAN NOT be OUT CLASSED, DEFEATED or ERADICATED. This LEGENDARY FREESTLYE "Annihilates" anyone who think they are the best.
These two literally took one song and when you break it down they made multiple songs out of this one version! I'm driving in my car I'm 56 years old and I'm jumping around like a teenager I caught a damn crap in my damn leg!!! My left leg luckily!!!😂😂😂😂😂
@ksiazekenicu Blasphemy. No true hip hop head would ever say that. BDK and G Rap are the two that basically got people into punchlines and the multi syllable rhyme scheme, along with Rakim. Without those 3 Pun, and Biggie wouldn't be spitting the kind of heat they do. And they are amongst my fav emcees ever.
Wheeeeeeeew....Straight lyricist ! No gimmicks, just raw talent that cannot be measured. How can you listen to a delivery such as this and then turn on the radio to listen to "Hip Pop"...You simply can't. Wacka Who?...Whiz Who?...Young Who?...Lil Who?...Soldier What?...C'mon, maaaaan !!!
Lyricism era. Never again will you hear this kind of rapper.
Beautifully Said!!!! Absolutely!!!! Period.
Salute
Still alot in the underground, the mainstream gone wack
G Rap the lyrical beast one of the greatest.
Dam G Rap killed this shit real hip hop do what it do.
He MURFERED IT!!!
Kool G Rap...with a definite Tongue Twista!!!!
25 years after this G-Rap was still spittin better than every rapper. Which has to be the craziest shit ever.
This shit is so fire🔥🔥🔥🔥 Rap will never be this good again. Kane & G Rap, pure dominance 👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿
Yes sa
G Rap's Word Play Was Raised By Assassins WITH DEADLY ACCURACY.....
This version should have been on Long Live the Kane!
It woulda been a Blueprint Renegade
INDEED!!!!!
Joel Holmqvist So fucking true!!!!
It wasn’t needed back than
Word up. I could pictured myself on that track with you on it too, GZA.... that would've been dope!
Easily 2 of the greatest rappers of all time.
My top1 and 2 !

35yrs ago
A big daddy Kane and Kool g rap album would have been 🔥
Rakim Kool G Rap and Big Daddy Kane all on the same track back then would have murdered the rap game forever!!
Drink champs sent me here. I remember when the Kane version first came out. I never knew G Rap was on the original!!
EASILY two of the greatest rappers to EVER put it down in hip hop history!! Shout out to the SPECTACULAR Kool G.Rap and the INCREDIBLE Big Daddy Kane. Two hip hop and New York City ICONS!!
Two of the most lyrical MC'S ever.
Henny Lopez NO DOUBT!!!

After 2003 rap start going downhill once country southern rap started coming in.
True!
Too true. By 1997 proper rap was more or less over
Kane is clearly the Godfather of Fire....Always in my top three MC's. To do what he did breakin' in tha biz is unparralled as a solo mc.
Back when you HAD to HAVE BARS... Salute to the whole Cold Chillin Crew.
Damn that's some serious artillery on the mic! Shit is cold!!!!
Now thats Rap music GOT DAMN
So dope. Two lyrical legends.
This was the 80’s...let that sink in.
Listening to this put me in my Hip Hop Shit.. Hip-Hop will never be the same. I'm forever old school.
Damn this strate up raw, no courses just bars
That's the way it was back in the day.
Extended version of Jive Talk G Rap controlled that session
Two great tastes that taste great together....Kane and G Rap
HOW KOOL G JUMP ON THIS TRACK AND STR8 GODZILLA IT🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
ONE OF THE BEST RAP SONG OF ALL TIMES!!!! YO! BDK WARM IT UP!!!!
When hip hop was .... hip hop.....

G Rap was/is a Beast!
Kane underrated asf.
These are the two who personified lyrical assasination. Kane+GRAP 🔥
No mc can touch this one Big Daddy and Kool G❤

Son I just wrote a comment about 10 minutes ago on the original RAW song about Mr Magic and Marley Marl's Rap Attack! Bruh, you telling ur age LMAO!
