- I went to the record store yesterday, and lo and behold, there it was... "Live
- and Let Die", by Kool G Rap and DJ Polo... so naturally, I did what any hip hop
- fiend would do... I went and BOUGHT THE MUTHAFUCKA...
-
- I have been waiting, agonizing since the Summer for this one, and it FINALLY
- dropped. The album is dope. Phat. All that AND a bowl of grits. The standout
- cuts are "#1 With A Bullet", and for all those who think Kane fell off, he
- comes correct BIGTIME on this one. Even G Rap is doing a li'l tongue-twistin'.
- Another dope cut that exemplifies G Rap's skills is "Nuff Said"... he goes off
- with the punch-lines and shit like that... "2 To The Head" has my vote for
- being THE posse cut... Scarface, Bushwick Bill and Ice Cube all contribute phat
- lyrics to this methodically wicked track.
- I think that this album is worth the wait, because Jinx hooked the tracks up
- for real... One of the "funniest" cuts on the album is "Operation CB", where G
- Rap complains about people keeping him from hittin' tha skins... He outdoes
- "Talk Like Sex" (from the previous album) with "Fuck U Man"... The rest of the
- album has familiar themes, about him working for (or against) the mob, getting
- creative with assorted weapons of destruction and him losing his mind. If you
- are "politically correct", stay away from this one, but if you're a die-hard
- Kool G Rap fan, get it. Get it NOW. You won't be disappointed (at least I
- wasn't). ...Now if only they'd drop Paris and Ice T...
- Peace Out...
