The Symphony 2016 ft Black Thought, Big Daddy Kane, Kool G Rap & More

[@spincitynyc809]

Kool G still outshines everyone in 2021

[@daddyeyez740]

Yo, Ion care what nobody say, he might not have sold the most records or had the flashiest hooks but bar for bar, verse for verse, G Rap is the best that ever done it.

[@MrErickB44]

Facts

[@durterebelz]

Biggie admitted to studying G Rap for his delivery. I still think Kane was the illest from that era.

[@durterebelz]

@fuck all touts ftra fap 2020 G Rap was lethal. Best way to describe him. But Kane mastered it all. I see you, my G. Respect.

[@MentalPistol]

@@durterebelz I'ma go Rakim on that.

[@jak3brap10]

Facts.. plus look at the catalogue. He started doing stuff with Polo, all pioneering classics, then went on to do 456, roots of evil and giacana. All 3 better than any of rakim’s or Kanes solo albums.
