#073 Kool G Rap - Wanted Dead or Alive

Done with Gangta for now, starting to look at East Coast Revival. Found this on a list, and remembered his name from an Edan song, so game on.

Yes, this is what I'm talking about. I hadn't thought that anyone did this kind of dense, multisylabic, dexterous rapping this early; this is totally a find for me. It drags with some late filler (Rikers Island, On the Run) and there's still elements of unseemly posturing, but for the most part the rapping is enthrallingly complex and precise. Totally the kind of thing this project was made for, could end up being one of my favorite rap albums 4.5/5
