- New York legend Kool G Rap opened up to VladTV about his early days growing up in Corona, Queens, and seeing the neighborhood go from mainly black-owned businesses to drugs taking over. He explained that the crack-era ruined families and turned decent mothers into drug addicts and criminals.
Speaking about his own experiences, Kool G Rap explained how he started selling crack at seventeen and how he saw a lot of his friends die in the streets. To hear more of what he had to say on the situation, including the moment, he knew he needed to get out, hit the above clip. - Розваги
"The boss of all bosses, I own racehorses and a fortress, corridors with Olympic torches and Mona Lisa portraits" This line is enough to make half of the rappers piss their pants.
PICTURE PERFECT

Definitely sounds like how pun, and AZ raps.
This is a legend right here kids, this is the guy who directly influenced Nas, pun & AZ
marlon thomas nas underrated? Come on bruh
marlon thomas how are they underrated?
Nas overated
HYPESQUAD 03 stop it
lol no one likes Nas
Kool-G don't make albums man he makes picture-less movies. You can literally visualize everything he spits. The most underrated lyricist of all-time imo.
What about Rikers Island by Kool G Rap
Nigga on the run...prime example
Josh Melu I don't think he's underated tho! He's in everyone's Like TOP 5 Dead Or Alive!! Atleast he Should be!! I mean you can put maybe 2 or 3 dudes ahead of him that's Rakim, KRS1, & Possibly Big Daddy Kane,, Other than them NOBODY Is fkn with him imo.. 👌🏾☑️
ColdCrush Furious 5 MCs Ever heard of Big Pun?
KGR is far fron underrated, he is a rap God, ask the white boy
Another legend on VladTV. Hip-Hop needs more of these interviews.
Hip-Hop Universe, amen! the internet generation needs to know the history of this music and culture.
InstaBlaster
@@OdiousBlack also some of the shittest lists I’ve ever seen
A thug who mugs for drugs, he eventually bugs, looking for crack in carpets and rugs.The line that got me hooked.
A sqwealer tells but a dealer still sells little rich kids inherited oil wells i was the type on the opposite site of smoking a pipe heard a beat and got hyped
True genius
one of the GOATS
Smoke and hip hop Yo bro you can play Fast Life with Nas now . That's the definition of a classic
ultimate super savage fuck no what??
ultimate super savage Kool g rap should be on everyone's top 10 list
el trio bro 8hrs 150 likes this one dude never heard or know the history of G Rap to disagree
LexRuger718 THE GOat
respect your elders!! here is a real one!!
Facts
But he was a crack dealer. Is that someone really worthy of respect ? No trolling legitimate question.
tampab24 listen to the whole interview. he talks about how he stopped selling so he could make music. let those without sin cast the first stone.
If by your logic then majority of our black leaders, emcees, authors, entertainers, activists and so on are not worthy of being acknowledged and respected, having pulled themselves outta circumstances that were *beneath them* to go on to do great things!
Blakk Fero Thank you!!

Latron Simmons I definitely hear kool g rap in MF DOOM
Latron Simmons sounds like some shit big pun would spit lol

Glad someone is giving the hip hop pioneers they shine time.. #Respect
Towns People nawl bro.. what's that??
lmao
Towns People thanks homie.. im fina go check it out
Ant Edwards kool g is not a hip hop pioneer, hes someone who helped bring hip hop to what it is today but he is NOT a pioneer. He didnt start taking hip hop seriously until 85-86
John Doe He is a pioneer in a couple aspects. He was the first mc to kick multis in his verses and the first nigga to adopt that mafioso rap persona and content that Rae & Ghost, BIG, Nas and Jay and AZ would emulate down the line.
G Rap is a direct forefather to Em, Big L, Pun and AZ.
4,5,6 is my favorite album from Kool G Rap. That album should have went Platinum or Gold by now. There wasn't one track that disappointed me. My favorite tracks are For Da Brothaz, Take Em To War, the title track, and It's A Shame !!
don't forget Blowin Up In the World!
ProtectedSouls4 Another great song. Ghetto Knows is a great one too. I still have my copy of the album from Amazon !!!
mack vell agreed👍
Hell yea and fast life was my shit
Mack Vell my favorite was 'Blowin up in the world'
"Try to quote what I wrote you'll get a sore throat. My lyrical notes float just like sail boats" ---
OrionSound 🙄 so u mean to tell me them bars will hold in this day and age? Be real for a sec.
those bars are better than 90% of who is out now
Cashh Washington That quote was from many years ago. I don't care if G Rap lyrics still holds with bars of today nor do I compare him to anybody out now. I liked him back then and still respect his music now.
Ian Bustos #morefacts
+Ian Bustos Easily.
One of my favorite emcees of *ALL-TIME*. Kool G Rap's lyricism is of an extraterrestrial origin... Storytelling, figurative language, crazy breath control, syncopating syllables... real rap sht. If you're a youngster and have never heard this dude spit, you are *seriously* missing out. Long live, G Rap: one of the *original* hip hop goons.
The best NY rapper ever! My fav. Reppin To the fullest! Every bar, every album top notch. 4,5,6 my fav
4 sure
Ricky Taylor Killing Em Executioner style
He set the trend of dice game raps.. big L and Theodore Unit was next.
@@progress426 big l n ghost camp nah ..disagree...ghost not even mafioso dats rae.....style.....n chamber....let's keep it a buck
Call Vlad a culture vulture (or culture pigeon as I sometimes do lol) all you want, but he's conducting some very monumental interviews with legends and he pays respect.
That's what a Culture Vulture does.
FlixxHD1 a culture vulture doesn’t pay attention to legends like this they ride the wave of new rappers praised by the current culture the current mainstream “culture “ probably don’t even know one song about this dude I’m 19 and idk one person under 40-50 who can name a kool g rap song
@@tredarriyusgray5041 fam you're probably not even a part of the culture . A Culture Vulture is someone who profits off the life and lifestyle of others. Vlad is a fan of our Culture and has been for years but he doesn't give back an any way. You see how many times he's revamped and reposted the Soulja Boy video as well as others. He's never lived this life or had to endure any of the hardship but since he has a platform he can dictate and manipulate.
FlixxHD1 my nigga you trying to hard if he’s a fan of the culture that means he has a actual genuine interest in the culture if he’s a vulture cause he gets paid to interview people in the rap community that’s his job that means millions of reporters are culture vultures you yourself are a fan are you a culture vulture
r0mediddy everyone hates on Vlad. But those same haters are subscribed and have his notifications on and watch all of his interviews lol but then troll in the comments 🤷🏻♂️
This man was an innovator of rapping.
LISTEN TO HIS SONG 'FAST LIFE' with NAS....one of the greatest hiphop/rap songs of all time!!
HARRIS2820 No doubt!!!
The best equally matched collabos Ive ever heard they both brought that🔥🔥🔥
- right out the slammer with the fame and glamour/cooking up grams wit arm and hammer supplying scramblers in Alabama
The Buckwild Remix is better and No it is not.It was the worse track of 4,5,6
HARRIS2820 Yeah that's the song I asked someone I asked someone in the comments about it came out when I was in 1st grade
"When g raps strikes the Mic, I recite the hype, the type that YOU like to make the people unite"
First time i remember listening to Kool G Rap was Roads To Riches, and when i say i was blown away from the way how he flowed and flipped his words without losing beat was and still is amazing to me.
Love and respect G rap. Streets of New York, Rulers Island, rated xxx, Ill Street Blues. Big Daddy, Taking, KRS 1. Creative geniuses. Born and raised in Krooklyn.
"Get 20 holes in your wig from 11 year old kids, only 22 when they come from 11 year old bids."
Shahab Tehrani that bar is wack and fabricated if you wanna be real 11yr olds ain’t just pullin up killin shit never was you may get rare cases wit young niggas shooting shit but that bar was Cap and corny
Tell that to g rap. I liked it. And don't care what you think
That was hard!
@@stepperforlife044 you must havent been to cali
@@stsupremteacher that shit used to happen back in the day in NY and def in cali
To this day I STILL listen to Kool G Rap!! Live and Let Die will forever be my favorite album by this legend 😤✍🏾🎧!!
His lisp even made him even doper as an M.C. 😂😂😂

lmao he's one of Hip Hop's greatest spitters; literally. Wet up every mic he touched.
legend haz it iz dat hes missin da part dat attaches ya toungue 2 da bottom part ov ya mouf.....
G-Rap is one of the rare artists that I can remember exactly where I was and what I was doing the first time I heard him. He was a game changer who fathered multiple MC's.
If u don’t mind can you say where you were & doing and what age ?? If you don’t feel like it I understand ! But wow that’s legit !
@@camdaman4327 1986. I was a teenager riding the A train in Brooklyn when a dude came through the car playing it on his box. My man, who was with me, said he heard a "tape" (we only had local cassette tapes back then, that you actually had to copy or make yourself) with G Rap on it. Not sure if he was telling the truth, but when I heard G Rap, he was like no other. Unfortunately, he didn't prove commercially marketable, although his albums did solid numbers, especially when he was with Polo.
Big Pun mastered this man's flow..
YouthInAsia smh chillout y'all go too far fr
Yes and no but I feel you good point fam. It's not a enough to call Pun a biter.. How would you explain it?
@@shatter617 his evolution
Pun kissed the Ring for a reason. He knew where he got his style from.
Puns not a biter cuz he didnt take kool g raps words how jay z did with biggie....pun was inspired like i was inspired by pun armaggedon biggie dmx 2pac nas rakim ll cool j and kool g rap..thats why ima a beast
TOP FIVE DEAD OR ALIVE HANDS DOWN ❗❗❗KOOL G RAP
crack babies that drink lean n pop pills...... #Factz
This man started touring when he was like 16 years old. Just to name a few tracks and albums, Da Heat, A Thugs Love Story, 4,5,6, and the Giacanna Story. Dudes a poet, story teller, and multi-syllabic. True lyrical genius. Where I believe Pun got his style from.
Giacanna story was underrated very but roots of evil...his best 4 me
Kids typing comments here don't even know who this dude really is.. Facts!!!
This dude got bars for days 💯
The original technical lyricist
"I dont want fans who dont kno who g rap is" - RA the Rugged Man
He deserves an award! One of the top rapper in my book! They didn't give him da props when "Road to the riches" came out! His lyrics back in '89, when I was in high skool were phenomenal! and we all getting old too, I almost didn't recognize him!
🐐 Now get Rakim up here
iLLest Tv get cole
Exactly! You can't talk about legends in hiphop and not have Rakim up here!
Look up Juanepstien podcast. They've had a great interview with Rakim and Pete Rock & CL Smooth this year.
Century SAM good looking out. Last I heard Rakim was doing sprite commercials b
iLLest Tv Rakim dont fuck with Vlad at all😂
You know this guy is cut from the rarest cloth no one ever says Nuttin negative about him and no rap beef he just loved and respected by everyone.
Wanted dead or alive is the best kool g rap and dj polo album

Classic Verse!

If I knew he had bars like that I would've been on him ...finna go listen to his music
#FastLife #classic
Son was crazy
Respect for having G Rap back,the best multi syllabic rapper of all time and the most inspiring rapper who basically birthed bars.Pun,Diabolic,Eminem,Vinnie,Action,Black Thought,Rugged Man,Chino XL etc etc attribute him to becoming great rappers.Pun went down on his knees to kiss his ring out of respect.The Mafiosa style that Nas,AZ,Hov,Ghost and Rae we're doing was because of this guy and any rapper that does these advanced strings of multi syllabic bars(like most of the aforementioned rappers I listed prior)we're inspired by G Rap.
Facts.
goldentrophy Facts
goldentrophy definitely not the best, DOOM has him beat, but the sure did influence him big time so there's that.
@Oxy Moron 😂
@@PicturesJester doom ain't no g rap....doim was a knockoff ghost n not as good ..r.i.p n all...but he wasn't nowhere near all that
Big pun took this mans style to another level.. one of the great kool giacana rap!
He's one of the best rappers that ever blessed the booth
G Rap's style outlasted his peers and never became dated. Men at Work(recorded between 86-88) and Talk Like Sex(90). After Melle Mel, Caz and Moe Dee, no one can say they better.
Kool G Rap is one of my top 5 favorite rappers. I thank my Dad for playing his albums in the car while growing up as a kid.
G Rap is your favorite rappers favorite rapper, Biggie, Nas, Jay-Z, everybody stole his style. Him, Kane, Rakim and LL are the elite.
denmark555 biggie a tad but jay and Nas idk they definitely probably was inspired but stole that's a bit much
Swap LL for KRS1
I still be listening to ill street blues
Rip Big L
Not body can tell me, that Kid n Play aint influence the Migo's chop rap style
Legend !!! One of my favorite rappers of all time !!!! The king of East Coast Gangster rap from a lyrical standpoint !!! Original Juice Crew !!
G RAAAAPPPPP... possibly the greatest hip hop MC of all time.
real men r honest about their regrets. you could hear the pain when he talks about losing friends and going to funerals. salute to G Rap (hat still leaning to the left)
Crazy how no one ever gives Vlad credit in the comments when he has these legends up here but as soon as he has a guest people don't fuck with they go off on him.
Man salute to vlad man, he the best at this shit
Cause niggas like to join the band wagon and call him names etc etc. But you better believe they subscribed to his page 😂😆
Kirk James Your right, anyone, tell me who else has all different types if interviews. Breakfast is ok, hot 97 is ok.
Kirk James he interviews a lot of dumb and ignorant artists 80% of the time. Only sometimes he makes good interviews... 9 out of 10 of his videos are just pure gossip and teenagers talking ignorance
+titooo He's not going to just interview everyone that you feel is interesting. Someone you think is stupid may be someone interesting to someone else. See how that works? All these people he interviews are or were at some point famous or poppin and have a fan base. So he's hitting all aspects. Whether it's politics, HipHop, movies. Rnb, etc etc
Kirk James ....
#FACTS
#Queens Legend
Finally, Vlad's interviewing someone important, it's been fucking months
Organized Noise and Waah Dean are unimportant? Vlad's been fire lately.
That's what I'm saying, bruh... Interviewing all these new Hip-Hop heads and not the OG's anymore.
Kool g rap was a rap god when I was growing up in the late 80's his verse on the symphony has to go down as one of the dopest verses in hip hop history
without g rap we wouldnt have nas.
Without Kool Herc we wouldn't have G Rap
Polo Everything or me
Ricky Clark or you? lol
Polo Everything lmao!!!
RICO CLARK LMAO
i use to listen to "road to the riches"..before i hit the block and started my hustle day
No Kool G = No Big Pun for starters
illuzeweb no kool g rap, no treach, no pun, no eminem
RABIH_MAHDEE Zactly
I don't doubt Nas was influenced by G Rap, but there was no big talk about Nas sounding like anyone other than himself when he emerged. He was basically a wonder child. New York Hip-Hop was in a bit of an odd space when he appeared with Main Source in '91. G Rap was a giant at that time, but hard to market; and dudes like Rakim and Big Daddy Kane were cooling off, with the likes of Tribe, Chubb Rock, and a fading LL and PE basically holding New York down. Wu-Tang completely put the game on smash in '93, and Nas, whose mystique was steady bubbling, finally dropped Illmatic in '94. If there was no G Rap, I believe you still would have had Nas. When I first heard Nas, I thought that his voice sounded like a jazz instrument, perhaps because of his father's influence. Nas was/is super smooth. G Rap is a lyrical giant, but he can beat-up records from time-to-time with a hard cadence.
I think he were because of the fact they were both from Queens and Large Pro actually had Nas rap for G. really nobody was flowing like the big 3 Rakim, Kool G, and Kane
Mike Dollars + Nas was originally signed by Columbia. By the time he went to Def Jam, he had 12 years in the game.
People used to compare Nas to Rakim, but listen to Main Source - Live at the BBQ and tell me that doesn't sound like Kool G Rap. A lot of early Nas sounded more like G Rap than Rakim to me. Even some tracks on Illmatic. I guess because of Nas' delivery and metaphors people thought of Rakim, but the flow and wordplay were G Rap influenced all the way. No disrespect to the GOAT Nas
Nas Escobar is g rap....rakim wasn't telling crime stories....when ??? Clearly kool g rap ...nas from queens....
men at work,it's a shame,on the run, G Rap is one of my all time favorites! RESPECT
Kool G Rap; Road To The Riches.......Classic album.
Top 4 mc of all times together with KRS, Rakim, Big Daddy Kane.
super OG salute kool G rap
The first time i hurd kool g rap i was amazed pure hip hop gritty nyc 80s 90s life brought to life for others who never saw it or lived it
First Gangster Rapper.. I had the honor to speak with G Rap. And told him, it was his music that influenced me to Crime. And he said, get the fuck outta here. Facts. No drugs, no alcohol, it was the music..
Just seen G Rap and Rakim in Philly Sat - Legends!!
Yeah!!!!!!!
He did say he live in PA now, need him to sign all my CDs lol!
David Campbell Damn man. I'm down the shore but I would have loved to go to that show. What venue?
Hurricane Jones 3801 market first district plaza lords of the underground w there 2
David Campbell Awesome 😁
When I heard his verse on The Realest with Mobb Deep I knew...This man will never sound outdated......IMO he is THE GOAT hands down. Not just for for he did but also for what he can still do.
PAPA I met you on main st flushing in 1990 i was 15 years old and you were shopping for kicks at buzy bee lmao holy shit buzy bee anyway you treated me like a young man and we bought the same Reebok pumps we chilled for like 20 min for a skinny white kid from queens myself that was and still is one of the best moments of my life you are my LYRICAL HERO KOOL G RAP always a humble dude I'm 43 now and I still got G RAP ALWAYS in my playlist 4 ever PAPA one love G

Roots of Evil album I still number bump today.....I close my eyes and listen to the visuals over the doc Butch backdrops....one of the greatest hip hop albums ever.....there's is tracks that would make some serious movies "Thug love story 1, 2 and 3, Bosses wife, foul cats, let the games begin and many more" 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Roots of evil 💯💯🔥
My man Cool G was true to his name in every way.. Corona built and a warrior who spit hard bars, he told his story comparable to Slick Rick while in his own flow, with the same clear street-oriented verbs and he made us listen in 86. Bullets were flying at an all-time high then. Bigup pimpin! 🏆
I remember seeing Kool G Rap at the Coliseum on Jamaica Avenue, back in days, definitely a legend in the game.
"Yeah, hearing me rap is like hearing G-Rap in his prime!"

This guy is a LEGEND. Fuckin millennials have no idea!
I'm waiting on his new CD like high schoolers waitin on some new Js at 7am at mall. 716 stand up because Conway and Westside Gunz will be on this new project.
Tony Brown And sad thing is they're not even old enough to remember when MJ played if it wasn't for UA-cam or NBA TV playing Hardwood Classics they'd be oblivious
Ro'Shaun Goolsby lol true. Most of us who grew up in that time remembered the game when MJ was sick as hell but still dropped the most points
"I leave your whole body twisted and you get lifted then police Will have to fish to run ballistics on the biscuit!! Another STATISTIC!! I tried to chill but you insisted...."
Kool G. Rap!!!!! One of the 🐐's
Looking forward to these G Rap interview videos. One of the top lyrical vets in the game.
WHEN G RAP STRIKE THE MIC I RECITE THE TYPE UV HYPE THAT U LIKE TO MAKE THE PEOPLE UNITE............
In the streets of new York dope fiends be leaning for morphine the TV screen follow the homicide scene
Dude is a legend, most underrated MC from that era.
I almost feel like if it wasn't for Kool G Rap we wouldn't have Hip hop as we know it today. Whether that's a good or bad thing is a matter of opinion but I think the way he changed the game kinda created a domino effect that led to how rap evolved over time
Kool G Rap should be in everyone top 5 rappers/mcs of all time
Tyrone Wade Big Facts. Never heard a wack bar/rhyme from Kool G rap in my life on God
🐐 456 always wins legendary status much love from Toronto

A REAL HIP HOP LEGEND
Kool g rap single handily started the Gambeno type flow. He also helped innovate double rhyming over and just rhyming one word at the end of lines he would rhyme two. Game tight /its game night i flame pipes ..he was one of the first to perfect that style He always been in my top 5. Period
The first total lyricist ever in hip hop. Where everyone else was doing the singalong rhymes and one word per beat.
Still waiting for a Canibus interview vlad.
iLL Street Blues! great story teller and lyricist Legend!
Ju Karera FACTS!!!
G Rap is the one of the realest MC's to ever bless the mic!! he's a God to Hip Hop. His music is amazing because this dude always kept it real. He rapped about the life he lived and he was able to express it in a way that was unique and intriguing. Dude set the bar for real. One of the best ever. Respect to Kool G Rap!! and respect to Vlad for doing this interview.. Folks talk shit about Vlad for saying something dumb once in a while but what other person is seeking out these dudes to get the real story and have them tell it in their own words? I'm thankful for this shit, straight up.
can't wait for the whole shit to drop💯💯
