  • @MrKandamo

    musta read it wrong.

    never take any thing serious on the internet sorry brother. 

  • I FOUND THE HOOK!!!! It's a sample, The Mammas & Pappas' "Once Was A Time I Thought"

    Once was a time I thought that love could be sold or bought

    And everything fell in place for me.

    The fashion of passion I rationed with caution

    Because of the notion the potion of passion

    Had never been passed to me.

  • I FOUND THE HOOK!!!! It's a sample, The Mammas & Pappas' "Once Was A Time I Thought"

  • Once at a time i thought luck would be sold or bought _____ with a _____ and plaved for me ... A passion, a passion , a passion with caution because the notion the potion of passion has never been passed to me ( cant figure out those two blanks)

  • The chorus is a total trip

  • Hey guys im trying to get Hip Hop back alive and me and some other people do it by writing a long list of all kinds of good real Hip Hop song's.. and yeah trust me this song is on the list.. but PM me if you want the list.. a lot of real good songs there.. so PM me if you want the list and pm me back if you want us to add something to the list.. our goal is to send it to as many people as possible to make it very long and get some new Hip Hop fans! :) pm me back if you want me to add your songs

  • this beat makes you just wanna bob ya head... does anyone know what the chick says in the chorus? it's so f'ing catchy

  • dont cry at viws, i like this that real hip hop has low views, it makes it more unique !

  • Comment removed

  • One of my favorite songs by the God MC right here! Smooth, yet still lyrical and the chorus is off the chain! My peeps DJ Henray featured this track on his mixtape that I think y'all should listen to. Its got many dope, underground Hip Hop cuts on it. You can listen to it for free by just clicking on my channel and just look for the mixcrate link, turn the volume up loud, and enjoy! Free download available too! Hip Hop lives!

  • CHECK OUT DOLLAR JAS DOPE TOO

  • its for real!! i love people that know and create real music, DONT STOP!!! :)

  • This song is soo addicting.

  • rakim goes hard on this beat...

  • TOO BAD WE DONT HEAR THINGS LIKE THIS IN THE RADIO. I WONDER IF ANY MAINSTREAM GOT A SONG THAT IS GOOD AS THIS.

  • This is the GOAT.. no question or debate to be had. Rakim is the Greatest MC of all time.

  • anyone that got the lyrics 4 this song ?

  • These are my top 10 mcs in alphabetic order!: Big L Big Pun Eminem Jay-z Krs-one Immortal Technique Nas Notorious B.I.G. Rakim Tupac
  • wow...!

    what a flooooooow!!!!!!!!!!

  • class track here

  • RIP real hip hop emcee's. Now we have shit like She got a donk and shit. Sad

  • Rakim is a real mc. one of the best

  • @civicit it's not 1 of the best. he is the best

  • real emcee

    but i can't understand why he is not very popular

    i think rap has changed; lyrics is not important to many people

    shit even gucci mane has more fame

  • I think u're rite. The age of this kind of emcee is dead...at least on the mainstream. There was a time when Rakim was going platinum with no major label behind him because fans wanted challenging lyrics, those times are over. For now.

    Unless you want underground.

  • And look at the state the country is in...

  • In a Democracy, the people get the government they deserve

    - Alexis de Tocqueville

    When the majority of people ditched real music that had a real message and started worshipping the hip-pop shit that Soulja Boy and Hannah Montana put out, everything went down and down from there.

    (Yes, I do put them in the same boat, because they both poison the radio)

  • raw hes one of my fav emcees

  • Rakim makes new rappers look like punks from street

  • i can tell 50 listin'd to rakim

  • great song and an interesting chorus

  • TooFukkinDoppe!

  • Rakim is the dope XD 5/5

  • Lol nice one .. owns

  • Rakim is the best lyricist hip-hop ever met!

  • KEEP REAL HIP HOP ALIVE BY SHOWIN LOVE TO THESE NEW ARTIST TRYNA SAVE THE GAME.. 1LYFE - DOA is now RIP (Jay-Z Cover)

  • RAKIM is one of, if not the best rapper ever to hit the face of this planet........but this track to me is not hot......its nothing compared to his older hits like "microphone fiend" and "follow the leader"........the lyrics are tight but the beat and the chorus are very whack to me........I wish he had some betta producers backing him cause...........wheres eric b lol

  • He is backkk .. finally .. the best MC eva again and again ... Rakim always & 4eva

  • "COME ON HAND'S DOWN UNDISPUTELY RAKIM IS THE REALG.O.A.T.! LYRICAL,METAMORPHICALY,AND CYNICALEY,HOW COULD NAS OR ANY OTHER RAPPER,MCEE'S POET'S OR ARTIST BE MENTION IN THE SAME PLANE (line) AS HIM OR EVEN CLOSE! EVERYTHING OUT OF NEW YORK IS.......I REPEAT.....IS THE "R" ! TRACE THE HIT'S AND THE STYLE,AND SEE THE ALL BITE THE STYLE1

  • Excellent skillz on display 5 stars R, Allah U Akbar!

  • stop with the soulja boy shit. he only has 1 fucking song.

    Shits been wack for a minute now.

    Actually shits been wack since Master P.

  • nas still makes good songs so does common and kanye so shits not been whack

  • kanye sucks massive dog penis.

    nas is very average since illmatic.

  • kanye does suck dog penis as a rapper, but he is a great producer. and if u think nas has been average since illmatic, then plain and simple u dont know shit about hip hop

  • kanye is an ok producer.

    (in my humble opinion)

    im not really feeling his Rza-style technique though.

    Nas.....well i do admit The Firm was fresh.

    Illmatic was amazing...his other joints....well i dunno it just doesnt do it for me. I find him to be a very overestimated cat. but thats just me.

  • it was written is almost as good as illmatic.... stillmatic. the lost tapes. you gotta really read the lyrics as u listen to fully understand. his shit its too deep

  • i feel you.

    yet they never caught me that much.

    listen im a ghostface, kool keith, aesop rock fan.

    I fully understand that some lyrics are too deep for the average head.

    Nas never got to me that way. I find him overrated though. thats just subjective opinion.

    I agree he is an amazing MC.

    but there is a lot more out there.

    doesnt change the fact that the GAME (bet-mtv etc) has been wack for a loooong time now.

  • yea i know i listen to mostly shit from the 90's. i fuck with aesop rock and all of wu tang is legendary.. were all entitled to our opinons though i guess

  • no doubt.!

    Well, im glad to see we can have a sensible discussion about music taste!

    Besides, just because of you, ive gone back to "it was written" and took a re-listen.

    So thanks for making me appreciate some older material!

    Peace!

  • cause u have kids that don't know real hip hop listening to the garbage that's out now..

  • rakim is so raw, truly a hip-hop legend. even the girl on the hook spits hard!

  • DOPE

  • Anyone got a page for the Love 4 Sale lyrics?

  • i listened to your other videos then my friend showed me this song i looked it up and you have this one too

    keep hip hop alive

    you have any really good mellow songs like a jazzy type.

  • Yes, majority of my uploads are jazzy/soulful type feel good hip hop. Look through my playlists, and listen to the Jazz Addix album.

  • good song. ppl should listem to rakim more than those other mainstream rappers.

  • rakim is ill no doubt!

  • People sleep on the good hip hop on you tube. Only 50 cent and Ludacris get views lol.

  • yep......

    yo you should upload some Guru's jazz matazz or some feel good shit

  • I love Rakim and the all the greats, but Ludacris is a lyricist to death man. Gotta show love for him.

  • noone in their right mind should take anything away from Ludacris but he is no Rakim....

  • @HiPHoPvibEz True, but Luda can still spit if he brings himself back to the essence, which, unfortunately, he rarely ever does anymore. On the other hand, 50 never had it. Pretty tough to "sell out" if your entire career was mainstream from the start.

  • @HiPHoPvibEz i hear you man, ever heard of people like jedi mind tricks, snak the ripper, fatty down, or intricate minds? theyre all pretty skilled people with little views, so i like to get 'em out there lol

  • Great song, why so few views? This shit is genius =)

  • listen to what he is saying tho

  • I love dis Real hip hop at last!
