Live and Let Die (Cold Chillin', 1992) by Kool G. Rap & D.J. Polo

In the 90s, it was Biggie, Jay-Z, or Nas.  And in the 80s, it was Rakim, Kane, or G. Rap.  And even though G. Rap did not sell in the millions- what he lacked in sales, he more than made up for in influence.  He pioneered multi-syllabic rhyming and his descriptive street narratives were definitely a first as well.  This is also one of my favorite album covers too.  Two cops tied to nooses while standing on chairs that are attached to dogs.  G. Rap and Polo are then standing just out of the dogs' reach with pieces of meat.  Guess what happens next?
