...greats of the era all brought their own individual twists to the formula. Big Daddy Kane was the smooth-talking pimp, Kool G Rap had the street edge, KRS-ONE had the social awareness, and the Ultramagnetic MC’s had, in Kool Keith, um, a crazy-ass frontman...

But that youthful aspect was what gave him such gravity...
