emceeing. This dudes lyrical talent is so great no wonder he's your favorite rappers favorite rapper. This album is a classic. His songs on this album fathered so many other dope emcees styles. You want illmatic lyrical storytelling with deep thought provoking metaphors? Listen to this album

Where is Roots of Evil that album was just as good

Enough said.

A true rap album. Every song is perfect.

I remember when i was in high school and this came out. Im from Cali but we were bumping this like crazy. Had to buy this again. Genius of Rap he is.

What can I say... His rhyme schemes wordplay storytelling and gangsta themes are off the charts yo. This is the most underrated album ever IMO. The production is great too despite having not so familiar producers! Top 5 tracks: 1. Blowin Up In The World 2. Executioner Style 3. Ghetto Knows 4. Fast Life 5. For Da Brothaz

KOOL G RAP IS THE BEST PERIOD. I WAS A RAKIM SUPPORTER, BUT KOOL G GOTHIM BEAT, RAKIM THE MAN , BUT KOOL G IS A TAD BIT BETTA. GHETTO KNOWS IS MY LATE TO WORK/INTERSTATE TUNE. SMH I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY THIS ALBUM IS JUST TIGHT. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK KOOL G. REMEMBER JAY Z SAYS IN ENCORE THAT HE'S AS GOOD AS G RAP IN HIS PRIME. PSSSSH RIGHT NEVA JAY Z NEVAAAAA '
