Last stand for a New York street rap king

We Say...
Kool G Rap's 4, 5, 6 wasn't so much a solo debut as a formal divorce from DJ Polo, whose contributions to their partnership were always a bit mysterious. By 1995, the influence of G Rap's gritty, relentless, street-sweeper flow on New York hip-hop was clear, and while this album lacked consistency, tracks like dice anthem "4, 5, 6," "It's a Shame" and collaborations with acolytes Nas ("Fast Life") and MF Grimm ("Take 'em to War," "Money on the Brain") were reminders that G Rap was still a force to be feared.

They Say...
After a three-album run with DJ Polo that stacked up favorably to any other rap act, Kool G Rap went solo with 1995's 4, 5, 6. Though they fall short of G Rap's legacy with DJ Polo, "Ghetto Knows," "Take 'Em to War," and "Money on My Brain" (featuring a slick sample of Herbie Hancock's "Chameleon") are far from missteps. Had this been a debut from a youngster, it would've doubtlessly created a stir of some sort.
“ The indie iTunes — Hardcore music fans are migrating to eMusic, the iTunes Music Store's cheaper, cooler cousin.”
