Nas. Big Pun. Eminem. Every one of them has pointed at the same man when asked who taught them how to stack syllables.
Corona, Queens. Kool G Rap.
"Road to the Riches" dropped in '89 and made mafioso rap a whole lane before anybody had a name for it.
Juice Crew royalty, a pen that turned street stories into full movies, and rhyme schemes people are still trying to reverse-engineer.
Here's what still doesn't get said enough: the man rapped with a lisp.
Never hid it, never fixed it, still out-rhymed his entire era with it.
Took what somebody else would've called a flaw and made it a signature you clock in two bars.
Never got the big plaques.
Got something better, half your favorite lyricists owe him a check for the blueprint.
Kool G Rap turns 58 today.
So where's he land? Top 5 lyricist of all time, or does he sit even higher?

A near peak Mike Tyson obliterated Carl Williams in 93 seconds #OnThisDay in 1989.
There was some debate about the stoppage being premature, but people now forget how highly thought of Williams was before being flattened.
Happy 55th Birthday DJ Screw ๐ฅณ RIP ๐๏ธ
The demand for Screw tapes got so big that he installed a gate at the front of his house to control the traffic. Cars lined the streets for blocks while complaints from neighbors led to Houston PD searching his home several times
Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have most likely played their last World Cup matches for their countries ๐ฅบ
We were lucky to watch them as long as we did ๐
