As much of an underground hip hop head like myself I didn't really get into listening to G-Rap until 96! He doesn't do high numbers commercially because he can't shake or let go of the "hood" mentality that he grew up in! Its in runs through his veins! Its like the narrator said Ghostface, Nas and Big Pun were deeply influenced by K.G.R. The mainstream media will sadly never respect his greatness but the MC'S he influenced does! I sure tf do too!! He's up there in age, but so what? He still got the deadly skills now as he did in his 20's. In this point in time he really deserves his 🌹 s. Him and Dj Polo made an incredible team making deadly music together. Speaking of which Rip DJ Polo🙏!

And I'll also add this: G Rap was able to keep his flow mainstream-relevant up until the early 2000s which boom bap has peaked, and I only say "up until" because mainstream was flushing out that style of rap with much more commercial sound as time went on, and even past that point he was almost signed to Rick Ross's Maybach Music Group. There's only a few MC's from that time who can achieve that longevity. And he still gets busy.

G Rap is the most underrated rappers of all time. He never get the same credit like his fellow Queens rapper LL Cool J who both adapted and maintained longevity from the 80s to the 00s but L is more recognizable by the mainstream than G but it dont take away the fact thar he's an icon of his own right. My favorite post Cold Chilling and Juice Crew song of his is Fast Life with Nas, G did his thing but Nas took it on another level and they didnt have to curse minus the ninja part from Nas to make it legendary but underrated which it should have more love.

Kool G Rap’s stunted growth was basically that A. Compared to other rappers during and after his era, he’s not talked about as much. Yeah they’re talking about him, but not as much as Jay-Z, Nas, Rakim, KRS, Biggie. B. His record sales. G Rap is one of the greatest and has 4 CLASSIC ALBUMS….but none of them went GOLD. Unlike Rakim, BDK, KRS-One, LL(well, that’s LL), Slick Rick, etc. That alone is a Stunted Growth itself. C. That’s really it…he’s one of the greatest rappers of all-time and in my Top 10

Well....what happened to the hip hop pioneers is people in the corporations like "Mista Bob Dobalina's" found a way to infiltrate our beloved genre by implement over sexuality, promoting heavy drug usage, encouraging violence, promote homosexuality & praising being wack, talentless & even create fake beefs to sell points on a album & eliminating real hip hop talented artist. If you was socially conscious....they really ain't promoting you. Which causes alot us to stay underground or independent. They rather choose "Sexyy Red" over "Roxanne Shante". They rather go for "Drake" over "Rakim". Even the white & Latin rappers aren't safe....They want "Slim Jesus" over "MC Serch"...."Pit Bull" over "Beatnuts". As long "Titty Whitie" hold all the cards.... pioneers & dope independent artist will always get pushed to the side over popular trends,...it shouldn't be that way. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Everyone knows G Rap has been doing the same thing he always did. Rapping straight 🔥
Maaaaaan stop it, This is def one that you got WRONG, KOOL G RAP IS more relevant than ever, THIS IS THE FATHER OF GANGSTA RAP, if you say he stunted cause he didn’t get the money then KRS is stunted too FOH, Queens rappers are the dopest…. Hes one of the few that been in all the eras of hip hop and still doing it
