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, and it's the only time he sounded
as if he was running out of steam. Though "Ghetto
Knows," "Take 'Em to War," and "Money on My Brain"
(featuring a slick sample of Herbie Hancock's
"Chameleon") are far from missteps, they have little
on G Rap's legacy with DJ Polo. Furthermore, there are
telltale signs that he either needs to gain new
inspirations or take a break. "Blowin Up in the
World"'s lyrics could've been written by just about
any MC, and the lazy chorus is particularly dull by
his standards. The production from Buckwild and T Ray
is merely passable and lacks the unique spark that
masters like Marley Marl, Sir Jinx, and Large
Professor were able to provide years earlier. It has
to be stressed that few other MCs could release a
record like this and have it considered a failure; in
fact, had this been a debut from a youngster, it
would've doubtlessly created a stir of some sort.
Thankfully, G Rap went on a very necessary hiatus
after this.
