[lyricsfromsweden]

DJ Clark Kent is a beast at making beats!

[monstaslaya]

Why does the instrumental miss some hits?

[btkkilla1]

[BiggieHomeboy]

2pac is way better than this punk

[ac1dchr15t]

@BiggieHomeboy There is nothing punk about this man. He is intelligent. Rakim and 2pac are on different levels, both equally beautiful lyricists and rappers.

[ReAflexZZ]

@BiggieHomeboy Rakim its better.

[smokingzaggin]

@BiggieHomeboy Rakim is better, even Pac knew that. Go listen to his song Old School.

[P4DDY2K11]

@BiggieHomeboy afraid not man, rakim would mop the floor with pac.

[hasiokow]

[maxxx4668]

i love rakim but its kind of awkward to listen to the same rap as my dad...

[willylebg]

@maxxx4668 it seems like your father know better than you what real rap is...

[maxxx4668]

@willylebg i listen to rakim but its still weird ya feel me do'?

[willylebg]

@maxxx4668 i dont think its weird but just a great classic of rap...

[MrBeats723]

the 35 people who disliked should be banned from listening to hip hop. maybe they should stick to hip pop

[kratox7]

[Mylifedecoded]

Lyricism is a lost art in mainstream rap,

So here’s Rakim’s Guess Who’s Back,

Classic shit, The God MC and Eric B,

He’s the rapper, your favourite rapper wants to be.

[mkl62]

[MrOnlySmith]

I can´t understand how people thinks jay-z it´s better than rakim,nas,2pac,Biggie smalls,ice cube,eazy e .......

[TestCrashGames]

@MrOnlySmith Because Jay-Z is good and good for people likes newschool inspired the old, good NY hip-hop... But yep, is lot of a better east coast rappers like Rakim, Nas, R.I.P. Biggie, Wu Tang, and nice old school artist like LL Cool J, Run-DMC, Public Enemy, Beastie Boys or Fat Boys :)

[TommyTG95]

@MrOnlySmith because he has more money and is more famous, humas are so ignorent haha sorry for my grammar btw im dutch

[754Sean]

@TheZWishes did you just diss Lowkey? ;o

[Blairg100]

@TheZWishes How is Lowkey not hip-hop you fool, Lupe Fiasco is shit, he has a couple of good songs, the rest are fake with shitty mainstream rappers Zzzz

[mclovin435190]

@Blairg100 are you fucking kidding me? Lowkey is good im not disputing that but are you really trying to say Lupe is shit and fake? Hes the realest and most socially conscious rapper out right now.

[Blairg100]

@mclovin435190 He has a couple real songs, but he does songs with Trey Songs, Wiz Khalifa and has poppy songs such as "the show goes on", he isn't on any of today's underground level because he's a mainstream rapper

[ShoteroRps]

:: HOW TO RAP ::

[LegalizeItCompletely]

@Thedarkheritage1 dont like how royce and black eyed peas are in it. And i think there should have been more great MCs . but agreed.

[TheMadzOfficial]

dope!

[MrJazzHOP]

This is certifiably FRESH - The 18th Letter is Bad-Ass; people talk about Nas, but this brother is off-the-ropes DOPE - lyrically, flow-wise, just CLASSICS. I guess this why he's called God MC...can't get a higher title higher than this. Salute Hip-Hop's finest..this joint is just SICK!!!

[pietjes187]

OG

[kaithemen]

This beat is gonna be rememberd by real Hip/Hop fans.

[Hejsadig]

@kaithemen true that.. From Denmark Copenhagen.. Rep That REal Shit!!!!

[birthmcgirt]

The G.O.A.T. Nuff said!!

[hypnosis321]

DOPE !

[3manimaniac]

why was rakim named rakim?

because the name "kurt cobain" was already taken"

[kaithemen]

@3manimaniac Hhahahah ur soo funny <3333 .....

[3manimaniac]

i love kurt cobain.,.,you know him??

[kaithemen]

@3manimaniac Yeh ofcourse i know hi :D

[3manimaniac]

@kaithemen aahh.,.nah.,just thought you dont.,^_^

[tobybrown1988]

Once again back its the incredible!

[9Kevinn]

Nas, AZ and Rakim are definitely 3 of the greatest rappers of all time

[piko141]

naprawdę zajebista nutka :) jak dla mnie wyjebana prawdziwe brzmienie dobrego rapu :) (Poland)

[aueist]

Im seven years old and the only kid in my block who listens to Rakim and shit. All others listen to wack shit. Im seven man. Yeah I said it.

[canderson4050]

@aueist Not very age-appropriate language for a seven year old!! Where are your parents??Go to bed!!!!!

[zkyggen]

@aueist you suck a good dick compared to your age.

[MrCzapol]

@sharpazn You forgot just about one- Krs-One. With him the list of the best is complete

[RZAGZAGFKODB]

why would people dislike this?

[RZAGZAGFKODB]

rakim is the GOAT

[KindredKunoichi]

Rakim should have every Emcee write "Thank You for allowin' me to try & impersonate your style & fail 1 billion times on a chalkboard!! - He never lost shit since splittin' with Eric.B ....then POW, 5 years later releasin' this Album he is still livin' up to his legendary Emcee status with a vengeance!!!

[clarencejones07]

theres-a reaaally great BOOK that came out, it has Rakim-Kane, G Rap, Tribe, Pharcyde, KRS, all the best dudes came together to create-the book,it has all the

info on real emceeing in it, its named:

HOW.TO.RAP - HOW.TO.RAP - HOW.TO.RAP

HOW.TO.RAP - HOW.TO.RAP - HOW.TO.RAP

HOW.TO.RAP - HOW.TO.RAP - HOW.TO.RAP

[grr6096150]

im only 14 and fuk all this shit new shit old school all da way

[MrJazzHOP]

Not having Rakim's album The 18th Letter is like not owning Nas' Illmatic - and I don't mean burn, get a copy, steal it if necessary - but get it and stick it on your dome: personally, Rakim's flow and lyricism puts holes in Nas - not hatin', just saying...anyway, Rakim's a sick brother!!!!

[glimpus]

I'm no expert of rap by any means, but I really dig this type of rap. It's so focussed on a very funky, bouncy beat which drives the whole song. I find newer rap is really lacking this.

Anyway, as a drummer, I can really appreciate beats like this.

[MamaAintGotTime]

He sounds like Lloyd banks in the chorus

[MzKGeneration]

People who say hiphop is dead are wrong, it's not dead just don't go looking for it in the charts becasue all you find in the pop charts is pop

[krwawyalek]

rahim :D

[BOSSnowboarding]

Rakim is the GOD of Hip-Hop!

[MrShakurforever]

Rakim , one of the best MC

[mrsneh1996]

Lil wayne is way better than this.....No hate

[wolverine668]

@mrsneh1996 And you're a retard with an IQ of 0....No hate!

[sharpazn]

Ok so people are making a list of the best MCs ever? I won't make one, but here's a list of great MCs in my opinion. Rakim, Kool G Rap, Slick Rick, R.A. The Rugged Man, Hell Razah, Vinnie Paz, 2pac, Big L, Big Pun, Eminem before he sold out, B.I.G., Nas, Killarmy, Big Daddy Kane, Wu-Tang, Gang Starr, IAM (they are french), Keith Murray, MF Doom, Sunz Of Man, Slum Village ...and many more! make sure to go check the ones you don't know!

[NALimonosou]

@MrUrosSrb I agree with you! And in your list there are some that I still don't know. I will check them out! thanks a lot for replying!!

[MrDozip]

@sharpazn is it in any order or random?

[sharpazn]

@MrDozip Random of course! But the 3 firsts are real pioneers lol

[bawston08]

@sharpazn Eminem never sold out. He matured. He's been through some crazy shit, it reflected in his music, sometimes not for the best. But he's 39 and he's grown up.

[tangerinedream93]

@bawston08 no he sold out, have you heard the state of the mainstream bullshit he's done recently?

[kevinbranislavstanko]
