 Notes  
     Delayed for over a year while Rawkus sorted out its increasingly
     labyrinthine label affiliations (it was eventually licensed to a Koch
     subsidiary), The Giancana Story proves that time means nothing to one of
     the greatest rappers ever (though Rawkus took it too far when they declared
     "the game was named after him"). Don't call it a comeback because he never
     left -- he recorded continually during the '90s -- but Kool G's third solo
     record illustrates the rare case of the hip-hop world moving closer to a
     veteran than when he made his breakout. What sounded refreshing and
     genuinely unique in 1990 -- check out before-their-time shots like "Road to
     the Riches" or "Streets of New York" -- was becoming nearly ubiquitous by
     the end of the millennium, and besides slipping in a few more words per
     line than he used to, the first real hardcore rapper hasn't changed his
     style a whit (or needed to). The opener, "Thug for Life," is as clean a
     track as any classic golden-age production, but with the type of mid-tempo
     roll that gets it closer to later hardcore rap. The single "My Life," with
     Capone-N-Noreaga, is the best track here, the only one with any crossover
     appeal (via a remix complete with talk box and stuttered chorus).
     Everything else is pure hardcore rap, with all the dark intelligence and
     heavy venom hip-hop fans expect from a master.
