Still In His Prime??

"ok first of all i would like to start by saying that i have been a G Rap fan for years and own almost all of his records. i have said this many times before when legends release new cds you cant compare them to the classics because they are not on the same level or mind state anymore. if you want to hear something like Road To The Riches, Wanted Dead Or Alive or Live And Let Die then just play those albums and dont look anywhere else because nothing can top those. i give this album a 4 star review not because i compared it to other G Rap albums but because i looked at hip hop in general. Roots of Evil and The Giancana Story where both dope albums. but i personal loved the album 4,5,6. this new G Rap album Half A Klip to me is similar, both albums you wish where longer but have dope tracks. these are not commercial they are ruff sounding street songs. if you want singing go listen to 50 cent because your not gonna find it here. i think G Rap is still in his prime and that this album is worth buying for any G Rap fan. this is only the EP i have heard that G Rap has a full length album coming later this year."

G Rap finally returns

"One of the all-time greats of old school Golden Age Hip-Hop finally retunrs with a solo after over 5 years (he has his "5 Family Click" album 4+ years ago but that wasn't really a solo or much good). Although this one is rather short with only 9 songs, only 1 has a guest on it so you get to hear a little from G Rap Giancana. Of the 9 songs, 7 are good, a couple being real good but classic worthy, and 2 are ok. There is also 2 bonus songs (just a remix and an edited version of songs on the album). production is pretty good as well. Domingo does 3 songs, 5 Family Click does 2, and Peter Rock, Marley Marl, MoSS, and Ricky Snow each do 1 song. Although into his 40's, he still hasn't lost a bit on the mic since he started back in his teens. A must have album from a legend, though not his best still worht checking it out and I can' twait for a full length new album from G Rap.
