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
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!
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.

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)
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
"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
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
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
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
@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

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.

PaneiroPhantom 2 years ago 2
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.
ostione 2 years ago
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
PaneiroPhantom 2 years ago 2
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.
