Kool G. Rap & DJ Polo - Live And Let Die (Remastered Reissue) - 2xLP
|
|
|
|
Label: Cold Chillin' / Traffic Entertainment Group
Genre: Hip-Hop
Format: 2xLP Vinyl
Remastered Reissue on Double Vinyl for the First Time! Includes a 22"x22" Poster of the Iconic Cover!
A strong case could be made for Live And Let Die as Kool G. Rap & DJ
Polo's crowning achievement. Who can really say for sure if the
controversy surrounding the cover artwork, which shows the duo feeding
steaks to a pair of rottweilers, in front of two noose-necked white men,
clouded a proper consensus? The artwork could have been even more
graphic according to the liner notes by legendary Photography/Art
Director George DuBose.
With across-the-board stellar production
help from Sir Jinx and Trakmasterz, G. Rap (who also produces) continues
his no-holds-barred narratives that peaked with Wanted: Dead or Alive's
"Streets of New York", but most everything on this album comes close to
eclipsing that song. "Ill Street Blues" is practically a sequel, and it
manages to use more swanky piano vamps and horn blurts without making
for a desperate attempt at capitalizing on a past glory. Few tales of
growing up in a life of crime hit harder than the title track, in which G.
Rap displays the traits, unforced frankness, that unmistakable voice,
and a flow that drags you involuntarily along, that made him a legend.
The album is one story after another that draws you in without fail and
they come at you from several angles. Whether pulling off a train heist,
venting sexual frustration, analyzing his psychosis, or lording over
the streets, G. Rap is a pro at holding a captive audience.
All
die-hard East Coast Rap fans, especially followers of the Notorious
B.I.G., 2Pac or any "now school" wanna-be gangsta/thug rapper owe it to
themselves to get real familiar with this album and the two that
predated it. Cold Chillin' and Traffic proudly present Live And Let Die,
back in effect on vinyl for the first time since the 90s.
