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"

i think that "harlem's finest - a freestyle history" thing shld be thought of like it's his third record, even tho my favorite isn't on it iirc

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

wtf is that horn sample in "G On" I know I know it but I can't find it, driving me crazy.

this is STILL driving me crazy. it's also on BDP's "Word From Our Sponsor"

"Word from Our Sponsor" contains samples from First Choice's "Love Thang."
