This is my favorite of Kool G Rap's albums that I've heard so far by FAR. I've heard mafioso rap before but the way he connects that theme throughout this album is amazing. Very good album here from G Rap and one of the most underrated of all time.

A low key Kool G Rap favorite, he's spitting headspinning bars over your traditional NY mafioso production consistently, no filler.

A Kool G Rap album always is a special event, if only because of the man’s superior mic skills and unparalleled storytelling abilities.

Roots Of Evil is an underrated album. Sure, by 1998 the whole gangsta thing was a tired subject matter for a long time already, but few do it as well as G Rap. This album (just like Live And Let Die) should be experienced like watching a straight hardcore gangsta film – G Rap storytelling prowess make it a cinematic experience.
