This review is from: Dead Or Alive (Audio CD)

This album is an example of the split personalities MCs had to exhibit in the early '90s. As a way to cop as many sales as possible, they had to walk a tightrope between Public Enemy and NWA. As a result we got gangsta songs about bad guys who didn't prosper. Kool G Rap is the consumate MC. Though the subject matter may leave a lot to be desired, we see his skills shine through on these tracks. My favorites are "Streets of New York" and "Talk Like Sex". These tracks are classic G Rap. Fans of real MCs should enjoy.
