Kane is an all-time great no question, but I felt Kool G and Big L had a similar style and flow that begged for a poll showdown.

Pretty unfortunate to be using 'bit he only made 1 good album' against L, it's not like he had an opportunity to do as much as G Rap. I think I only voted against G Rap because the homophobic stuff knocks him down a peg or two in my mind, if it wasn't there he'd be up there with the best.
Would totally vote for him over Kane though (on the basis of their own records - G Rap made albums of classic material, Kane made some classic songs scattered between being a boring lothario. If you factor in who what they ghosted it becomes more of a tough decision.)

gonna go out on a limb here and say Big L was homophobic, too.

gonna go out on a limb and say i don't agree with everything most artists think, doesn't mean they have to make cuntish music about it and can't write something else.

also this was pretty much the biggest hiphop meme of the decade, so maybe assuming all rappers are homophobes is a lil stoopid.

When someone as "conscious" as Mos Def is vocally anti-gay, not really too stoopid to assume 99.9% of rappers are.

I love both of these peoples. Which is why I didn't vote, and it's been hard, because Big L is the punchline king, but really it's close, but I'd be voting for Kool G Rap. When he's really flowing I feel like I've just learned english.

another thing that links these two is g rap did that spreading yr rhymes over line endings that L loved to do, "put u in a black hearse/ for that wack verse/ shoulda tried these other cats first"

Kool G, L, and Percee P def the masters of this imo

it's seems kinda unique/unusual to me that Kool G Rap constantly refers to himself as having an old lady/kids in a lot of his rhymes, like he's the "family man" version of the gangsta. Snoop, Cube, Eazy, Quik, these other early guys are all pretty obviously teenagers, but G Rap always comes off as older/more world-weary. he isn't just some dumb kid hanging out on the corner

i was listening to both of L's records in the car today and realized he's kiiinda one-note with this flow, i mean he does it so well and he was a great writer but i always felt like he wasn't terribly flexible in that regard, sometimes he could get realll wordy and kinda come off the beat momentarily
