Member it like it was yesterday back in "92", G Rap was kicking this jam on the stage at Mahorns in Cherry hill Nj..I was standing right there on stage just a few feet a way watching the crowd go bananas!..it was sick. He killed it! I'm glad to have experienced that once in a life time moment right there watching a Giant Hip Hop Legend in action. Took it all for granted at the time. You know how it is when you're a teenager, you're thinking it's all going to last forever. You don't realize what you had until it's all gone. It was truly a timeless honor to have inhaled that moment seeing Kool G Rap set fire to the stage.
I'm year 78 baby!!! When I first heard K.G.R. I was young at the time!! Something about K.G.R was before his time!!! I just want him to be acknowledged as 1 of the best

He's always been my favorite out of all the legends. I learned how to tell stories from G-Rap. He never got the credit he deserved when people mention legends. G-RAP Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, Nas, Krs my top 5
Real talk, it’s really between him and Ra and that’s it, bars, cadence, wordplay and never once needed to change his flow to rhyme his words, literally a flawless lyricist, Emcee and storyteller G rap absolutely had it all!
G Rap one of my favourite top 5 with Rakim and wow who can realy say , soooo many good MC,'s, at that time!! Hardcore man, used to goto Peterborough every Saturday to buy my 28.50 yts money on American imports from DJ Mark, great guy always pointed me in right direction, bless u brother U made me what I am today man! Still got thousands of vynl from 85 to 2000, never get rid of, love th vynl!!!

I was first introduced to KGR was in the 6th grade on a song called "Butcher Shop" from the "Colors" soundtrack back in 88' and I've been a fan ever since!!💯💪🏿
I've been waiting for a KOOL G. RAP / SCARFACE/ cd for years. Produced by DJ PREMIER... 2 OF THE BEST STORY TELLERS IN RAP. Man I wish it could happen.
