G Rap began working with DJ Polo in 1986, releasing several underground hit singles including "It's a Demo"/"I'm Fly." Two other singles, "Streets of New York" and "Road to the Riches," received heavy rotation on Yo! MTV Raps and cemented his reputation as one of New York's top lyrical auteurs. His talent for telling a compelling, hard-luck story in a single song was considered second to only that of Rakim. While G Rap grew in popularity, he never crossed over like Biz Markie or Big Daddy Kane, both also members of the Juice Crew.
G Rap began a solo career in the mid-1990s, released 4,5,6. This and subsequent LPs saw little attention from critics or consumers, and G Rap began collaborating with others. Signing to Rawkus Records, G Rap launched a comeback with 2002's The Giancana Story. "Giancana" also is said by Kool G Rap to be the "G" in his name in the song "Drama". The album was well-received without commercial success.
In 2008 he released Half a Klip on Chinga Chang Records, featuring production from DJ Premier and Marley Marl, among others. His 2011 album Riches, Royalty, Respect showcased his true to form style and lyricism.
#1 With A Bullet
Kool G Rap Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gimme a HK four banana clips and I'll take on a precinct
Yeah the murder rate is on the rise with niggaz like me
Steady poppin' niggaz are droppin' like flies
To get em up when I hit 'em I hit 'em hard there'll be no get well card
Niggaz straight to the motherfuckin' graveyard
'Cause Nino want to get em done
Me pickin' the one and lickin' 'em up and hit 'em up for fun
You better run son, because me beginnin' to get the gun
Yo, murder me, you musta heard of me
And if you get rushed to emergency, I'm shootin' niggaz in surgery
Another nigga life is took
I'll be at your wake motherfucker signin' my name on that book
Inside the morgue another body freezes
It's one more bitch nigga that was sent to meet Jesus
"Come on down!" "Whassup nigga?"
No ambulance, just paramedics scrapin' your brains off the street
So yeah motherfucker come get a taste
'Cause I'ma give your punk ass my two in face and beat the case
My finger's on the trigger, I'ma pull it
So now you know that Kool G. Rap is number one with a bullet
A one man gang to bring the bang
So the next nigga can't even hang, yang yang yang yang
You know my style, and know my pedigree
You can ask Sadaam Hussein about me
I'm never to let a brother bass
And if you bring on a crew, I hope the bitches saw Scarface
'Cause I'ma send em to the morgue
Six feet under, gettin their mail from the groundhog
'Cause I'm the wrong brother to push
When put to the test, I go to war like George Bush
And I got apartments to give
The landlord of the morgue, now who need a place to live?
I'm rough and tough, the man on the scene
The baddest the maddest, you know the routine
I flip and rip, to set the rank
The coolest in rulin' the gangsta lean
I got my gat to your dome and I'ma pull it
I'm number motherfuckin one with a bullet
Niggaz are wavin' white flags, then dragged
In a hospital bed, full of lead, with a shit bag
You get a slug in your mug
Just give him a kiss and a hug, I pull the mother "Flatline!"
I'm fuckin' him up I'm buckin' him up all properly
No poppin' me is stoppin' me even if he go look out for me
I'm quicker to flicker the nigga the trigger is the plan for me
You try to run me comin' to kill the whole family
'Cause in the city there's no pity or no sympathy
You gotta hem em up, and now you're just a memory
Yeah nigga, I leave em done when I hit em
When pussy comes to get em, tell em Kool G. Rap did em
With my fingers on the trigger I'm terminatin like umm..
(Who Schwarzenegger?) Yeah that nigga!
So fuck all the bullshit
You know a nigga's number one with a bullet
Kool G Rap's song #1 With A Bullet is a classic example of gangsta rap from the late 1980s that glorifies violence and crime. The lyrics describe the rapper's willingness to kill anyone who crosses him and his BRAGGADOCIOUS nature about his killing skills. The chorus declares Kool G Rap as number one with a bullet, indicating that he is unbeatable and unchallenged in his reign of terror. The rapper boasts about catching a body (killing someone) recently and his desire to take on a precinct with a HK four banana clip. He informs his listeners that the murder rate is on the rise because of people like him "steady poppin' niggaz," and he sends them straight to the graveyard. Kool G Rap does not believe in mercy, and if he hits someone hard, there will be no get well cards. He openly declares his intention to kill anyone who messes with him and to eliminate their entire family. The lyrics are a representation of the violence that plagued inner-city communities like New York City during the crack epidemic.
