[oTSIVILIKASsapizei]

ΣΚΑΤΑ ΣΤΟΝ ΤΑΦΟ ΤΟΥ ΤΣΙΒΙΛΙΚΑ!!

[EzrealPwn]

Yeah! this song is a piece of history

[kbw1970]

The best DJ of all time and the greatest lyricist to ever spit in the mic, the best combination for all true old school heads whether you wanna recognize it or not!

[mark51397]

@kbw1970 how bout run-dmc?

[kbw1970]

@mark51397 nope, Rakim will always be the king,,,everybody is entitled to their opinion

[chrismelissa2012]

[Legendism360]

Every bar that Ra delivers is unreal. This has to be my favourite Premo-produced song after MCs Act Like They Don't Know & maybe Kick in the Door

[Denisstrizilo]

rakim the best!!

[BxRichTheMC]

Real ill niggas..

[BxRichTheMC]

Real MC + Real Lyrics + Real Producer = Real HipHop

[METTI1986LA]

someday i realized that all of my favourite beats were produced by premo lol

[Maxacre42]

@METTI1986LA THAT WAS ME TODAY!!!

[METTI1986LA]

@Maxacre42 nas - represent (actually the whole illmatic with large pro and pete rock) / pitch black - its all real / afu ra - defeat / krs-one - Wannabemceez... the list goes on

[MrCiacchic]

Dj Premier n.1

[TheCapify]

Dj premier>DRE

[LUKEWHITTYboii]

Dre is so Overrated in the 90s he got his great reputation He took credit for other producers like DJ Quik and cold187um he alsoc claims he invented that high pitched G funk style more like he stole the idea from cold187um from above the law

[TheEm1N3mFan]

@TheCapify ahahha Dre is the best producer real talk man...

[OldSchoolClassic9]

@TheCapify lol was this even question..ever?

[marouaneUK]

Happy Birthday to The God MC, respect from a french Hip-hop head

[xBITCHESxHATExMEx]

Make a record fly

undetected by

the naked eye...

[Productofwarroom]

If it wasnt for Rakim, most of the rappers, because thats what they are, rappers, not Hip Hop artist, would not be able to be doin what they are doin on the radio right now to this day. So all of you young new style so called RAPPERS, do some homework on ya HIP HOP HISTORY. Just because you hear these songs that they play on the radio, dont mean its the hottest shit out. We had to do the same in our time for the HIP HOP artist of the 90s. Hear me, key words, HIP HOP ARTIST. There is a difference

[Lownes717]

@Productofwarroom Real shit, everybody Recognise this!

[andrespascoe]

dj prem makes the illest beats..

[DjMixesTomBoi]

Rakim + Premo = Dope

[DjMixesTomBoi]

rakim + preemo = dope

[bahalospanty]

Best MC EVER! Rakim is your favorite rapper favorite rapper!

[Eziokilla9595]

@bahalospanty Wrong. Rakim is your favorite rapper multiplied by his favorite rapper 30 times, and then added to his favorite producers favorite producer. If my calculations are correct, Rakim can't be duplicated.

[Bosanchero187]

Lil Wayne ? Wiz Khalifa ? Rick Ross ? Hahahahahahah, you gotta be fucking kidding me...

[mclovin435190]

@Bosanchero187 You're bringing them up for no reason? Are you fucking kidding me?

[KobeBryantReady24]

[Serkuson]

Tak brzmi prawdziwy HIP-HOP.

[SuperIkhy]

[FusionC6]

Rakim. Nothing else to say... Wait.... PREMO!

[MytAndOfficial]

I'm italian and I listen to Rakim,

Don't you know why?

Because he's INTERNATIONALLY KNOWN (when he be on the mic)

[redskinscaps]

[Hunterpizzeck]

Nah L Is better then Immortal. Thats fact brotha, goo educate yourself.

[MrUrosSrb]

@Hunterpizzeck For me Tech is a very average spitter.He doesnt come close To L.I dont even need to mention Rakim.Tech is just popular because conspiracies and stuff.He is good and nothing more.

[SlimRikkosz]

@MrUrosSrb i dont think you see how important the shit is that technique spits ...

[MrGingerbollz]

much love from scotland love that real shit it keeps me on ma feet i blast this shit gone ae work ta get ma hustle on x

[GhostFaced78]

Ladies and Gentleman, I have been listening to rap since 'Delight', and I can tell when there is a good rapper. Rapping is simple, put words together, create a somewhat 'story' or point to it, and have a hard style and keep it original, Big L was the most original rapper I have ever heard and seen, and that is why he is the greatest, and most underrated rapper ever god put breath into, Big L is the best ain't no other person, fullstop bitches...

[SlimRikkosz]

@GhostFaced78 ever heard of big pun? or immortal technique? they are on L's level, with rakim the 4 greatest imo

[GhostFaced78]

@SlimRikkosz I have heard of them all, I just reckon Big L had it all going for him. Immortal Technique, they are alright, Big Pun is on L's level, that is true. But, Big L has so many classic songs, Pun not so much.

[SlimRikkosz]

@GhostFaced78 immortal technique aint a group, it's just one guy, i respect ur opinion but for me he's the greatest, there has never been a person that has as mutch influence on me like immortal technique

[RZAGZAGFKODB]

@SlimRikkosz nah immortal is good but big l is definatly better

[SlimRikkosz]

@RZAGZAGFKODB thats youre opinion

[FrAidzkEz]

Dis>Dat

[fana1996]

S ave

O ld

S chool

[MadeinBangladesh0235]

@fana1996 hip hop bured in the underground

[MRGENERATIONADD]

@fana1996 ah i just bought Mobb Deep's Infamous album on vinyl last month, IM DOING MY PART DAMMIT.

[darylfitz22]

Love this track

[fuckupyourmouth]

when you look at how most rappers have developed over the years, most have got alot better since the 90s. The fact that Big Ls lyrics still kill it today when you consider how long ago he died, that makes me call him the greatest.

[wahdncx]

their aint no best, just opinions. mine is RAKIM

[fatboy1993v]

@wahdncx Seriously? what about Chuck D? Ice Cube? Tupac? Professor Griff? obviously Rakims one of the best but he aint THE best

[mrwoodster12]

@fatboy1993v although 2pac is my favorite rapper (before Jay-Z and Nas), Pac couldn't touch Rakim lyrically, Pac spoke from the heart, thats why he was/is successful and people still listen to him, but there's A LOT of rappers that shit on Pac lyrically, thats not hating though, because Pac's still my favorite artist

[cousintookie]

No. It's

1. DJ Premier

nuff said.

[contradiction617]

tip 5

gang starr

a tribe called quest

NaS

rakim

KRS-ONE

[RZAGZAGFKODB]

good but i think wu tang clan should be in the top 5, just my opinion

[contradiction617]

your probably right but i was really felling rakim that day. most days wu tang would be on my top 5

[mclovin435190]

my top 5 since everyone else is doing it so why the fuck not-- 1. Rakim / 2. Nas / 3. 2pac / 4. Biggie / 5. Big Pun i wish he could've stayed healthy

[smederevac79]

Bushwick Bill,Krs One,2Pac I dont like Biggie so much...

[smederevac79]

Rakim,Guru,Chuck D,Scarface,Jeru de Damaja,Immortal Technique

[Taellosify]

@smederevac79 Immortal Technique should not be in anyones top 5 rappers list. You should know better.

[smederevac79]

@Taellosify

Why not...?Damn goed lyricist and pure underground MC.

[Taellosify]

@smederevac79 He's not that good of a lyricist, his vocab is good but he has no sense of counting his syllables, no internal rhyming and he rarely does anything but rhyme one to two syllable words, which makes his vocab much less impressive. Secondly he has absolutely no flow, one of the worsts flows I've ever heard. He gets so insanely off beat it's not even funny and thirdly he tends to open his mouth when he doesn't know what he's talking about. And lol, he's as underground as Tech N9ne.

[BlueInPoland]

@Taellosify Have you heard Follow the leader ? This guy invented FLOW. I respect your opinion, I'm just offering mine.

[BuddenDMXPac]

The worlds a sad place when this struggles to make 500k views and pussy rappers like faggot wayne get millions for the bullshit they do...

[helloitzjoe]

@BuddenDMXPac And I swear I contributed about 10,000 views...

[grungyketchup]

when ever i give someone my ipod first thing i say is " i got music on there you probbly havent even heard of" they listen to gay lil wayne and shit likt that

[MrNoke10]

@grungyketchup sad, but true...

[shitisreal92]

a lot of people only like mainstream and say that they "bump" 2Pac and Biggie because their friends "bump" or listen to it so kind of like a trend.People like that bug.

[prospect42191]

Premo and Ra on some other shit!

[MrMonkeyjump]

[iceill3425]

neither Pac, nor Biggie is the greatest "MC" of all time... its this guy

[coriejay]

@iceill3425 True. Especially Pac.

[iceill3425]

@coriejay i tell ppl dat all the time

[thecrusheryo]

@iceill3425 lol pac is the god of rap

[iceill3425]

@thecrusheryo how??? (only if u cld see the look on my face) lmao

[stoner4213]

@thecrusheryo pac is good, but rakim would win against pac in a rap battle, flow wise and lyrically

[deliver1]

@thecrusheryo No. They don't call this guy The God MC for nothing.

[UMMD1]

@iceill3425 true that but GURU is right up there too man for real

[SlimRikkosz]

@DjMixesTomBoi i know, but his comment was so fucking stupid thats why
