These guys don't even have to curse to be classy. Lyrics so simple people can relate to. That's real class. Even though I was born in 1990 I thank the older generations for giving us this music we can appreciate.
hte only rapper in new school that still bringing is eminem, and i think he is still doing it like old school as he is not all about beat but they lyrics
"I used to let the mic smoke, now I slam it when I'm done and make sure it's broke"........... I never saw him do that, therefor he's a joke. For real though this songs chronic.
This is your favorite rappers favorite rapper. Rakim is the #1 MC of all time. This is real hip hop! Him...his dj and a mic rippin shit up. This young rappers need to take notes from this dude.
This is @ soulcracka1 man the first time i herd this joint i was like 17 i think it was back in 86 or 87 i was @ coney island in Brooklyn on that ride that spins while they play music and ery body on that ride was going banannas including me fond memory's from that day on Rakim was and will always be my favorite rapper period......
You know you a beast rapper when: A vain comes out of your neck when you rap, your dj keeps a straight face through the whole career, and you got Flava Flav dancing in your video.
'I gotta' question, that's serious as cancer, who could keep the average dancer hyper as a heart attack, nobody smilin', cause you're expressin' the rhyme that I'm stylin', lol. With Rakim's style of delivery an flow, that's arguably some of the most amazing lyrics in the history of hip hop. This track introduced me to this "sacred" hip hop duo, and 25 years later, this sounds better now than it did then, hip hop such as this is like fine wine, it gets better with time, perfect 80's hip hop...
Hip hop ain't dead you fucking idiots, there are still MANY artists out there that represent real hip hop, you just have to look for it yourself. Everyone knows that good music in 2012 isn't going to get the recognition it deserves. The only crap that gets attention is that wack sellout bullshit computerized and manufactured by those evil corporate money hungry luciferian record companies for the sole purpose of spreading ignorance amongst the people.
I agree that radio hip hop is dead, but as long as these songs are on the internet we can still enjoy them and get people to listen to them. and hopefully, one day, this will get played on a radio station. I mean, The Beatles is even older than Eric B. & Rakim and they still get played, so there's no excuse for radio stations to say that they are old.
Im 12 and I listen to this hip hop everyday (Rakim, LL Cool J, Nas) 'cause nowadays people like Lil Wayne are always on the radio with their simplified verses and constant conversations.
However im not gonna complain, 'cause if i want real hip hop through my ears all these real songs are still here ;)
@TheGingRAle glad to see you are part of the future-I feel better knowing that people like you will be around to fix what those before you(lil wayne fans) have broken. Good luck to you in your life's adventures!
@BobbyEshleman I agree its out there, but its not easy to find with the media slinging and promoting the garbage that is considered the "best" by the media...but yea art never dies it just evolves and its out there I agree...but this stuff is classic bro.
@shateeksupremebeing7 it does murda them that's why most of these 90's 2000's babies won't listen to it....way to raw for them and that hollywood thing they swear is hip hop.
I try to make "Raps" but all these other "bad" rap songs make me "worry" that mine are as "bad" I mean they most def are but I dont have a rating yet........ well "Good" rap or hip hop might be gone but atleast we still have classics like this
@MrJazzHOP To me, all music today feels grey. If you feel the same way, then play. Pure hiphop poetry. Substance. He took a fuckin time machine from the early 90s....

@jayzme29 if it wasnt for rakim and other mc's like him from the genesis of hip hop there wouldnt be the greats like pac so show some fucking respect to the vets!
A lot of people dont realize that everything evolves. Hip Hop has evolved, this isnt anymore hip hop then Watch The Throne or the such. He definitely is a pioneer but that doesnt make him "better" than anyone.
@510xela True that everything evolves but the beats & flows sound better from 87-99 compared to the beats & flows of 00-12, so if you had to sit down & analyze B.I.G song (I dont want to live no more) compare it to 50 cents (wanksta)....B.I.G track just does something to you etc or TUPAC tracks vs EMINEM tracks..
@taecamperva Well thats just one example that is in favor of the 90's, Stan by Eminem is one of the greatest Hip Hop songs of all time but Eminem evolved straight from some of these 90's rappers. If a song does something to you thats all subjective and is different for everyone.
I knew this one kid, he was the greatest of ALL TIME! He didn't wear metro-sexual clothes, he didn't mimic a barbie character, he wasn't afraid to be a part of the streets, he actually wanted to be great, he cared about his legacy and what people would think of him 20 years after he was gone, no one will never be as new or creative as he was.... In short, he was just so dope. He died at 13 yrs old! I hope his legacy lives forever.
RIP " Golden Era True Hip Hop"... I love you... RIP 1984-1997
@rockstar80 hip hop still here man, just hard to find...kendrick lamar, dom kennedy, freddie gibbs, curren$y, blu, stalley to name a few underground kats.
but what does wearing metrosexual clothes, mimicking a barbie character and not being part of the streets have to do with how good of a rapper you are? and caring about what people think about you makes you great?
no women. . . no crew. . .no bullshit. . . .just a man and his dj----for my money, the best PURE rapper that every held a mic. I'm just glad I grew up during the glory days of REAL Hip-Hop-----Much Respect.
Some may follow, but nobody will get ahead, it's that simple. Rakim is impeccable, so fluid he's off-the-hook Dope, liquid Gold! Man, this brother is like opium to the ears; you can free-base The "R" off the speakers, no other MC comes even close: he was at his zenith in 86, and today he's twilight years ahead, both lyrically and philosophically. God said: Let there be Hip-Hop. And there was The "R".
@MrCase22100 i hate how ppl complain about today music but y'aLL don't spread the word or support hip hop when it's in your face. - DJ LEZ CHECK ME OUT
Give me a chance and read this! I'm a Producer and DJ from NY and I've been making music for a long time. I spend almost all my time on my dream, so please check me out and listen to my music, I don't want my efforts to go to waste so I reach out through messages like this. Thanks fam, peace! PS if you thumbs this up it will help alot!
Whazup G's! I'm a DJ/Beat producer who goes under the "DJ Universal". All I want, is to make it in the music biz.. It's hard I know that but with alot of views and subs you'll be heard out there no doubt. I've been doin this since I was like 14 years old which is about 4 years of beat making. So if u like old school/Underground hip hop you may wanna check out my channel..

people always say wayne isn't as good as the older rappers, well check my remix with Wayne, Pac, Rakim and Guru on my wall and you will see that Wayne is up there with the greats!
@christianitymustfall i really like Death Certificate and The Predator, or The Slim Shady LP and The Marshall Mathers LP or Rakim lyricall magic but the other are indifferent rapper's Xzibit is way better than Eazy motherfucking E
@Marsournexthome luckily i was born in 95 so real hip hop is in my blood, and honestly i find it offensive how you think everyone in this generation is hopeless, we still got s few kids like me :)
@TheStalerTaco its just a new generation ....if you real then you recognize....recognize the great rap from the late 80's and all of the 90's but bring ya new flava to the game.......im older that you i grew up(my teen years) in the 90's
@TheStalerTaco You're right man. I shouldn't generalize like that. I apologize. I am glad you know what's up. Please try to spread your knowledge to the rest of the generation...

Whazup G's! I'm a DJ/Beat producer who goes under the "DJ Universal". All I want, is to make it in the music biz.. It's hard I know that but with alot of views and subs you'll be heard out there no doubt. I've been doin this since I was like 14 years old which is about 4 years of beat making. So if u like old school/Underground hip hop you may wanna check out my channel..

@JonasLoversupport To me, all music today feels grey. If you feel the same way, then play. Pure hiphop poetry. Substance. He took a fuckin time machine from the early 90s....

Hello Everyone!
It’s Music that’s keeping me alive.
My life is so difficult and the only thing to forget my problems is the Music.
All of you will think I’m crazy but you’re wrong
Because singing and writing I can be who really I am.
I’m so grateful because now I can smile, dreaming, screaming. (And I owe it all to music and to god)
Well, I made some covers and I just upload it to my channel and I’ll be grateful if you stop by my channel and check it out.
Thank you so much!!
