For the last ten years or so, many veteran rappers have been forced to do work for hire features with unworthy customers, whether offering their services for $500 a verse on Myspace or hawking their raps on Twitter. It&#8217;s painfully clear that the lack of benefits in the music industry have forced some of hip-hop&#8217;s legendary lyricists to rhyme for the highest bidder, regardless of talent.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>It was one thing that G Rap recorded an entire album with Necro, but at like him or hate him, at least Ron Braunstein is an actual legitimate producer and rap fan. Ya boy Grant* describes himself as follows: &#8216;Gun to my head, I&#8217;d say my sound is a blend of pop-esque hooks, white boy backpack raps, old school vibes, and classic rock (I&#8217;m sure some Police made it in there subconsciously).&#8217; To have to see G Rap, who I personally consider to be the greatest MC of all time, have to stand there and pretend to bop his head to the garbage spilling out of this kid&#8217;s mouth deprives me of the very will to live. Is KGR in such dire financial waters that he&#8217;s now forced to associate with cigar-smoking high school kids to make rent? Can&#8217;t Nas give him a job managing his sneaker spot or something?<\/p>\n<p>Should we of the Conservative Rap Coalition feel sorry that one of our heroes has been reduced to whoring out his verses in order to make ends meet? I think not. It&#8217;s a shame that the great man has been reduced to this, but we need to set an example. If we let this violation slide, where will it stop? As much as it pains me, I have no choice as the CRC president but to put the matter to a vote. Should the Kool Genius of Rap be forever cast into the wilderness of rapper&#8217;s who fell off, or should he be granted a second chance because of his enormous contributions to the rap game?<\/p>\n<div id=\"polls-3\" class=\"wp-polls\">\n\t<form id=\"polls_form_3\" class=\"wp-polls-form\" action=\"\/crc\/index.php\" method=\"post\">\n\t\t<p style=\"display: none;\"><input type=\"hidden\" id=\"poll_3_nonce\" name=\"wp-polls-nonce\" value=\"624e17c8cc\" \/><\/p>\n\t\t<p style=\"display: none;\"><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"poll_id\" value=\"3\" \/><\/p>\n\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Should Kool G Rap Be Removed From The CRC-Approved Rapper List?<\/strong><\/p><div id=\"polls-3-ans\" class=\"wp-polls-ans\"><ul class=\"wp-polls-ul\">\n\t\t<li><input type=\"radio\" id=\"poll-answer-8\" name=\"poll_3\" value=\"8\" \/> <label for=\"poll-answer-8\">Kick him out.<\/label><\/li>\n\t\t<li><input type=\"radio\" id=\"poll-answer-9\" name=\"poll_3\" value=\"9\" \/> <label for=\"poll-answer-9\">Give him another chance.<\/label><\/li>\n\t\t<\/ul><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><input type=\"button\" name=\"vote\" value=\"   Vote   \" class=\"Buttons\" onclick=\"poll_vote(3);\" \/><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"#ViewPollResults\" onclick=\"poll_result(3); return false;\" title=\"View Results Of This Poll\">View Results<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n\t<\/form>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"polls-3-loading\" class=\"wp-polls-loading\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/unkut.com\/crc\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-polls\/images\/loading.gif\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading ...\" title=\"Loading ...\" class=\"wp-polls-image\" \/>&nbsp;Loading ...<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The whole Jadakiss debacle was one thing, since he&#8217;s no stranger to questionable musical choices, but I&#8217;m lost for words after watching the first minute of Kool G Rap and Grant*&#8217;s video.
