  • @hiphoprenaissance1 lupe fiasco fuck you, real hip hop. U AINT HEARD OF IT!

  • Yeah, Rakim kills tracks with little effort, just has incomparable flow. Nobody can flow like this brother. Any doper we'd O.D for real!

  • rakims flow is the best,. period

  • @hiphoprenaissance1 DAMN BRO YOU REALLY ARE A LYRICAL GENIUS! GUYS LIKE TALIB KWELI, MOS DEF, JAY ELECTRONICA, COMMON, LUPE FIASCO, NAS WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET ON IF SOMEONE DIDN'T GIVE THEM A CHANCE. SO I'M GIVING YOU YOURS RIGHT NOW.1 JUST SUBBED TO YOUR CHANNEL AND LIKED THE VID--ALSO SENDING IT TO ALL MY FRIENDS! GLAD I SAW THE LINK. THE TALENT IS DEFINITELY THERE AND THE GRIND IS RESPECTED. KEEP IT UP!!!

  • Talib Kweli as TRANE

  • Its the R

  • CHECK OUT...

    Eli G - Hold You Down

  • so many likes you can even see the red portion. Makes it easy to pretend those people don't exist heh heh.

  • not nice but words are good the beat is fuck tup

  • How did I just find this song???

  • Rakim is a damn sick brother - he blends words and phrases with seemingly little effort - just his flow is bananas. Lyrically, when you hear joints he put out back in the day like Musical Massacre, Let the Rythm Hit 'Em, it's jaw-droppingly dope. Even cats like Nas, GZA can't fabricate this brother. Pure, undiluted Hip-Hop.

  • @MrJazzHOP Even cats like Nas, GZA? I agree with Nas, but GZA has surpassed Rakim by A LOOOOOOOOOOOT. I'm not trying to diss the legend Rakim, but listen to Liquid Swords, Beneath the Surface, Legend of the Liquid Sword & Grandmasters. GZA is a master @ wordplay. Listen to Fame & Queen's Gambit for examples.

  • subway surfin-real hip hop heads quench ur thirst with it! ayeee

  • talib used to live above my friends apt ha, ive heard this sick mix before!

  • kweli and rakim , can it get better?

  • just bombed my first subway by myself today...... fucking legit'

  • this is a fucking tight track...

  • He does it everytime. If I could describe my ideal beats I'd just hand you a Kweli joint.

  • Thank god for real hip hop, so tired of my favourite music turning into dumb electro music.

  • Oh my god! I used to love taking the subway.Cut school Take the lirr to jamica and hop on the e, and its on.

  • i can never take his voice seriously.. he sounds like a little boy. XD

  • @BeatzBreaking You cannot be talking about Rakim! hahahahahah

  • @domyewestcott think he was talkib bout Kwali cuz RAKIMS voice is to hard to talk about

  • TRANE!

  • @RodasAPCTV TOY!

  • @shmalbone You sound just like yo'momma.

  • Ra never misses a beat. Man stays flawless!

  • 2 of da best evar, legends

  • damn what a team! rakim and kweli

  • Rakim is godlike.

  • gettin up anthem....

  • Marc Ecko lives in my town

  • @Mat0ification hes kidding ?

  • @ocho85cincofan96 ..oh....whatever

  • Who's lil wayne?

  • Brothers and sisters, This is Hip-Hop! The honesty and passion is palpable - nothing affected about it! Just dope-elicious all the way. Stick this on your dome and you've just increased your IQ by 70% - these two are invaluable jewels in the crown of Hip-Hop. I saw a show with these two - yeah, Rakim (The God) was spitting gold, and let me tell you, they moved the crowd: intelligent, pure 100% proof Hip-Hop, not that diluted dumbed-down Hip-Schlock with blunt hooks and no bite.

  • Comment removed

  • ya.. i member this song from marc ecko getting up graffiti game..

  • @elomni87 word up man :D

  • why did he shout out to marc ecko?

  • @crawndolf The song was on the soundtrack to "Marc Eckos Getting Up" PS2-Game.

  • @Fischsalami yo thx

  • burn the yards!

    

  • This is Music in my ears

  • from the game Getting up Contents under pressure

  • Crazy. One of the few super lyricists of modern day, and (arguably, not in my opinion but I can see why if you feel that way) the best rapper of all time, and ruler of the old school.

    Sad thing is this shit be going over niggas heads, niggas rather listen to some shallow lyrics with a dope beat.

    Search Eddie Pesos "North of Death" Puerto Rock Kid from PA, droppin' ill joints on the mic.

  • Dont confuse Rap with Hip-Hop...The difference is like Heavy Metal vs Punk.

  • rakim looks like a black version of Lowkey! lol

  • @Asinc308 haha i see the resemblance too.. coincidence they both some of the sickest emcee's too !!

  • @DdotRedd The drama’s done. All are departed away. The great shroud of the sea rolls over the Pequod, her crew, and Moby Dick. I only am escaped, alone, to tell thee

  • @Asinc308 show some respect, Lowkey looks like an asian version of Rakim.

  • rakim best ever!!!!!

  • lil wayne musta made a buncha youtube accounts and just goes to every good hip hop song to comment about himself so we could be brainwashed to think of him evertime we here a good hip hop song.

  • i listen to hip hop. wether it be talib or lil weezy! i mean people fall off but but wayne has sum diamionds on his belt

  • 10 people dont know what real hiphop is 

  • Man why is rakims flow so dope lol doesn't even have to do a crazy double time flow either it's just dope

  • people allways talk about rappers that are dead like pac and biggie , dont get me wrong they are dope but what about those rappers who are still alive like kool g rap , rakim or masta ace, these rappers are legends and they rap on the same level like pac and biggie but they never got what they desrved.it seemes like everybody want´s what they can´t have so what the fu..k thumbs up if you agree

  • @alibmx00

    nuff said

  • @alibmx00 you're fuckin right brother..

  • This shit is as dope as dope.

  • @smokeweed80

    Word up!

  • @smokeweed80 only one makin'themselves sounds stupid here is you. when did you start listenin'to rap anyway? probably like 2 years ago. ever heard any of rakim's stuff from back in the day? the man could rhyme about anythin' & everythin'. now he's doin'the same ol'borin' bullshit'bout guns, drugs and sex. people like you & 50 cent ruined rap. meaningless hooks and non-sensical scenarios for the easily-impressed to emulate. maybe you should get some knowlege, period. smokecrack80?! big-up kweli!

  • @hanslefamily jadakiss sounds like rakim.. get yur knowledge on hiphop before you go posting shit making yourself look like a complete idiot.

  • @vfostis hahaha i know lil wayne justi bieber and soldier boy can't read the posts on any of these  hip hop tracks cuz every post on every good hip hop song everyone shits on those 3 people, without fail

  • Who the belly of the beast with the working class, the homeless, and the purse snatchers - we used to hop and never drop the toke and over the turnstyles like Edwin Moses and run from the cops like Jesse Owens. Trackstars - riding in between the cars - the bronx queens dont seem that far - looking at the map cause every single added rap, the people dont look at each other they looking straight ahead. Subway... subway surfing!

  • attempt at lyrics: I come from a two fairs, it only seem like yesterday I had to take the 2 and the 5 to the junction and walk the rest of the way. You can catch a bus as a transfer, but waiting for that surface transfer is a bitch, I avoid it like a cancer. Empty in the streets, like crackin New York in 86', I was riding the A with the R and my walkman - these steps and lowlifes I can tell you stories of fighting for my glory on the subway like a warrior - Young man rite to passage -

  • GHETTO LIMO-ZEEN!!!! Gotta LOVE THAT LYRIC!!! RAKIM iz Da BEST!!

  • CAN YOU HELP ME OUT!! THERE WAS A SHOW ON YEARS BACK CALLED "THE BASEMENT", I KNO, I KNO, ITS OVER...THEY HAD THIS SHIT CALLED THROWBACK THURSDAY (i dnt watch tv anymore) BUT YO, THEY HAD ALLL THE OLD SCHOOL RAPPERS ON ONE TIME..AND THEY FREESTYLED...IM TALKIN THE GREATS, THE OLD SCHOOL OF THE OLD SCHOOL, THE FURIOUS 5 type cats...anyway, they was all on sum ill-a-del for ya sick social shit, and i cant find the dam video of it! but if u can help a brotha out, i'd appreciate it...1 dub

  • like if you like real underground,like if you hate fake shit LIL WAYNE GO FUCK YA SELF BIATCH!

  • @vfostis

    okay okay. everyone who listens to talib kweli or common or rakim or anything underground, know that lil wayne is whack.

    you guys don't need to comment every fucking song saying wayne and beiber are whack.

  • @rateb08 I think it would be better not to mention them at all. I dont like those folls either but i dont lioke seeing ____ sucks, because i dont evn like seeing the name i prefer to see things like" this is real hip hop" "theses guys destroy mainsteam pop rap".

  • @rateb08 Lil Wayne would agree with you.

  • @rateb08 Yes we do. Its our civic duty to insult wayne and his kind at every opportunity.

  • @rateb08

    I saw someone dissin beiber on a JS Bach video! xD

  • @rateb08 nobody who like underground like lil wayne its not an option

  • @rateb08

    youre right that fuck me up... in every song u find the fucking discussion about fucking wayne...

  • @rateb08- Amen.

  • @rateb08 haha thanks so much for that^^...it really gets annoying when you go through a lot of hip hop music on youtube

  • @rateb08 Wrong. There are people that are inherently idiotic and you must continue to proliferate the word of "real hip-hop."

  • @rateb08 THANK YOU!! GODS SAKE I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT NOTICED THE AMOUNT OF COMMENTS ABOUT WAYNE ON SOME REAL HIP HOP SHIT..... LIKE FO REAL ARE U SERIOUS? KNOWONE WANTS TO HERE IT WE ALL KNOW~!

  • @rateb08 Beiber isn't even trying to be hip hop so why even mention the kid...

  • @rateb08 hey i think that lil wayne is a bad rapper..

  • @rateb08 Sad that anyone can call rakim underground these days.

  • @Nuhtin4u: He's definitely more well known now then earlier in his career, but it's sad if anyone can call him Mainstream, go to any average club, bar, show, house, college, etc. See how many people, including(especially) people that call themselves "hiphop heads" that have NO idea who he is.

  • @addicted2fresh88 Uhh. Did you just say hes known more but nobody if i go to an average club, bar, shnow, house or college nobody will have any ideas who he is? I don't know if anyone in North Dakota my age will even know who Rakim is. Other than my 2 other friends who I've told. I listen to Ra 25/8

  • so we have 10 coldplay fans on this shit....

  • @immatypewholike2lite wats the big deal? completly different genres...... why we even sayin coldplay?

  • @Quikster220 it's because people who listen coldplay dont know sh8it about music. it's like soulja boys fans. peace!
