rakim, fucking hell, there will never be another raper who can hit those heights. it's not just the lyrics, the eloquence, or the vocab. it's the sheer delivery. he reels it off with such swagger, and yet it sounds like he isn't trying hard, it sounds as if it just comes to him.
Awwwwwww, Rakim is a sick brother!! His flow is smooth and liquid, inflected with jazz rhythms and carried off with an effortless cool that makes it sound as though he's not even breaking a sweat. Truly, this cat raised the bar for MC technique higher than it had ever been, helping to pioneer the use of internal rhymes, etc, and he just kills it here. Masterful brother!
ok obviously kanye went to his favorite producer and 3 favorite rappers and had the idea to make such a dope track. kanye is a good rapper but he's a bitch. fame went to his head.
what are you talking about... kanye is a wanker, he is just a commercial creature, he doesn't even write his own lyrics he got his own ghostwriter, i forgot his name, but he has released his own album not long ago, it was loud about it.
they shouldn't even record with him, they should smack him with a dick around the earhole... this track should be without him cause he is a shitty cunt.
timeless, so age dont count on the booth when your flow stay sumerged on the the fountain of youth
tell me the day when wayne,drake plies. can come up with a line this good..i hate how kids now a days worship lil btich wayne like he can actually rap..nd oh
Definitely a great track. There's nothing better than 3 of the greatest MC's collaborating, but no offense, Kanye is out of his league. Just listen to the lyrics and the flow of all four of them. There's an obvious difference between Kanye and the three "classic" MC's. Good stuff though nonetheless.
Stop dissing Kayne, Remember he is the brains behind this production, He may have a bit of a god complex sometimes, however this doesn't take away from the fact that he makes some amazing songs.
@TheBlez1 you kiddin me?i am saying that its ridiculous the fact that even KRS-ONE puts lyrics against rappers wearing big chains and jewels etc., Kanye appears wearing a big one on the same video!
so are you telling me that he doesnt need to wear chains by the time he decides to put one on his neck on an all time classic song..so stop pointing fingers and tell me that i would love and hate..i like kanye and his job but he simply doesnt belong here man....
@StyleMatters1990 do you know who rakim is? a fucking legend who rocked the chains all the time. Relax man this tracks amazing, a bunch of legendary rappers from different generations of hip hop having a good time collaborating on a great track.
wow, whoever said kanyes verse is the best, is a retard. checkout the lyrics and then tell me that again? Rakim, Nas and KRS1 verse has a message and its really nice rhyming but Kanyes is just bunch of random rhymes like:
Cant buy this superflyness like a shyness your highness
now tell me what the fuck did he say in that line?
out of all of these, Ra probs came off the best...seriously "Timeless, so age don't count in the booth/When your flow stays submerged in the fountain of youth" ;)
