Rakim - The Saga Begins

[MrJazzHOP]

God said: "Let there be Hip-Hop", then there was Rakim. Seriously, this brother is incomparable; his flow, his lyricism unmatched. Nobody can step - not Nas, not GZA, not Mos Def, not immortal...Rakim is, always will be, GOD! Period.

[THEREALMAJESTYMELL]

Rakim samplin Rakim is mega dope word to muva

[Sirgreaseflick]

Off-the-dome DOPE-MATIC! And God said: Let there be Hip-Hop, and then there was Rakim! Empirically infused...listen to this!!!!! Peerless, unmatched MC, he spits Gold..this brother could rap to a one handed clapping Autistic child. Many will follow, but the leader leads. Flow forever, baby!

[Wu2pac]

@Jester453 firstly sales mean fuck all in hip hop

secondly....it looks like u were wrong lol eminems pop album didn't do anything good for hip hop

[Jester453]
