Expected golden era east coast hangups- lessons from a group of black-supremacists- but Brand Nubian luckily also belong to that other group of golden era east coast expectancies: the expectation that the golden era east coast rapper or group display a certain degree of virtuosity and charisma as well as ideas and intelligence and that their beats be creative and fun. Brand Nubian do all that on One For All. There's the ideas, the intelligence, and the virtuosity- mainly thanks to Grand Puba- but also charisma- thanks to all of them (Sadat X and Lord Jamar too), which just goes with the funky production which here is great. And that's probably why One For All is a classic golden era east coast record

Redman - Dare Iz a Darkside


OK Redman, on the count of three I want you to
Completely forget how you did the first album

Big, strange, dramatic opening, Redman comes in with:

You are now about to enter the psychotic mind of Redman
Let's take a journey on a funk cosmic adventure
To where no other nigga or bitch has ever entered
Let me lick your funky emotions with my cosmic lyrics
From a place we call hell, and beyond...

I remember when I was young and thought How High was the shit and got from it that Redman would be a laid back weed rapper.... Redman has one of the coolest flows ever, and his lyrics are insane. Without him you probably wouldn't have some of your favourite rappers, from popular rappers like Eminem to weirdos like Danny Brown or lyrical guys like Talib Kweli. With spacey beats and weird noises everywhere, he just sounds even better. I think Dare Iz A Darkside is my favourite by him

Kool G Rap - 4, 5, 6


1. Intro 1:02

11. Money on My Brain (feat. MF Grimm & B-1) 4:53

Kool G Rap... Before I say how awesome 4, 5, 6 is, it should probably be noted that when other people talk about G Rap beingthe best they're usually talking about his work with DJ Polo between 1989 and 1992 and not his subsequent solo albums. I didn't know that 'til yesterday! Live and Let Die is great although sometime's it's just so fucking HARDCORE, and I thought 4, 5, 6 was just another gem in his beloved 80s-90s discography but it's actually considered the point where he was past his prime! The way he spits AND HIS PUNCHLINES on this are supposedly where he FELL OFF?! Maybe I'm not picky enough!

Kool G Rap's one of those rappers that's widely believed to be the best because the evidence is in just about any of the verses from his golden era (BUT NOT THIS ONE, STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM 4, 5, 6), and because other rappers also called the bestfrom time to time think pretty highly of him- Big, Em, Jay, Nas, Bun, Pun (rhymes!), Cube, Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, and those are just the ones on wikipedia that I think are best if I try convince myself that there are objective standards for such an assessment. Critics love this shit- you can say WITHOUT HIM YOU WOULDN'T HAVE READY TO DIE OR ILLMATIC OR THE LESS HIGHLY REGARDED ERIC B AND RAKIM JOINTS AND THEN THERE'D BE NO CLEAN LINEARITY OR NARRATIVE IN MUSIC. I'm getting bored of that though! He's all about complex rhyme schemes and syllables and whatnot so listening to him you think when's he gonna run out of breath and when's he gonna exhaust the dictionary and stop finding words that sound similar and the answer (as it is with Big, Em, and Big Pun in particular) is NEVER- dude sounds like he could go on forever stacking more and more rhymes and actually managing to say something as well. Maybe typical of 90s east coast rap, it's HARDCORE with mafioso worship thrown in, so struggle exaggerated into something that would be nightmarish if it weren't so vivid, cocky, and exciting. The production's what you'd expect for that- laid back in the most nocturnal, grimy way, and simple enough for these exciting/cocky emcees to show off their virtuosity in creating increasingly complex rhymes and rhythms while staying on the simple beat

It's probably not as exciting as he would've been in '89 and by this stage his influence is known and the influenced go with him toe-to-toe (Fast Life), but I think it's pretty cool! A bit HARDCORE (cerebral?) for my tastes but some of the most impeccable rapping and punchlines you can come across, from one of hip hop's legends who was still LEGENDARY in 1995 regardless of what you read

Kool G Rap & DJ Polo - Live and Let Die


1. Intro 0:40
2. On the Run 4:40
3. Live and Let Die 5:16
4. Crime Pays 2:17
5. Home Sweet Home 2:37
6. Train Robbery 4:13
7. No. 1 With a Bullet (feat. Big Daddy Kane) 2:36
8. Operation CB 4:28
9. Straight Jacket 3:11
10. Ill Street Blues 3:46
11. Go for Your Guns 4:37
12. Letters 3:40
13. 'Nuff Said 2:47
14. Edge of Sanity 5:12
15. Fuck U Man 4:01
16. Still Wanted Dead or Alive 3:24
17. Two to the Head (feat. Bushwick Bill, Ice Cube & Scarface)

HARDCORE SHIT- look at the cover and you see two dudes with nooses 'round their necks standing on chairs tied to rottweilers as two evil dudes taunt them (that's Kool G Rap and DJ Polo, the two guys you'll be following for the next hour) with raw meat so when the dogs move, the dudes die

Whereas 4, 5, 6 would have G Rap displaying ridiculous charisma and punchlines and multisyllabic rhymes for a few different subjects, Live and Let Die is just straight hardcore- he has the commanding voice of Scarface and Cube as well as the sick imagination of Bushwick (all of whom appear on Two to the Head), so no matter how funky things get (and they do get funky),Live and Let Die is hardcore in every sense- from horrorcore narratives to organized crime, it's post-NWA and post-Geto Boys hardcore ghetto insanity which takes the joke and runs with it 'til, thanks to the duo's intelligence and skill, it's arguably even better. Whether the joke is strictly homage (in which case it's not only artistic but sociopolitical) or something more sinister, it's HARDCORE at it's most HARDCORE and the east coast's best rapper (arguably, of course) at his violent best
