Kool G Rap - 4,5,6 turns 25 yrs old

[Mike Wins]

Game changing album for me. Was my intro to G Rap, probably the most impressed I been by a rapper on the first listen. This, Cuban Linx, Doe or Die and The Infamous all dropped within about 6 months and played a major role in getting me into east coast hip hop.

This album put Kool G Rap in another stratosphere on where he is on all time lists

Easily Top 3 GOAT Rapper

1. Nas
2. Ghostface Killah
3. Kool G Rap

Sucks that more elite rappers from the 80s didn't get this type of mid 90s album: dope current production, dope videos, etc.

LL, G Rap, KRS, Rakim (well 18th Letter anyway was nice), Kool Keith all had strong 90s, I always wanted Kane to have a dope comeback album because he was killing features in the late 90s/early 2000s plus the Alchemist joint The Man, The Icon was dope. Shame it never happened.

95 was monumental in hip hop.

Seconded on wanting a Kane rebirth. He’s clearly never lost it, on the rare occasion he still spits something. Always hoped we’d get another album.

Nah.

This is his 4th best album after Wanted Dead or Alive, Road to the Riches and Live and Let Die. His run from '89 to '92 was peak G Rap. When he was working with Marley, Jinx and Large Professor, he said he was "more focused". And we can hear that in the work.

4,5,6 didn't have the direction that he said he liked to have for his albums because he worked on it in seclusion "in the woods". When he came back in '98, he said the album wasn't as critically acclaimed as his first three because he "rushed through it alone" and didn't take his time like he usually did with his projects.

I'm not gonna argue ur opinion

Kool G Rap has one of the deepest catalogs in raps history

Live and Let Die 5/5
Roots of Evil 5/5
Road to Riches 4,5/5
Wanted Dead or Alive 4,5/5
4,5,6 4,5/5
Son of G Rap 4/5

Live and Let Die is my fav of his older sounding records

and Roots of Evil has a newer sound to it, I just rly fw this one in particular

and his flow in particular is my fav of all of his releases

Just had this on yesterday.

This is G Rap in his prime. Ridiculous amount of quotables on this joint. Dude was really next level during this era.
