love rakim and his 2 previous albums were amazing but this album doesnt even come close to his full potential....his lyrical style has disappeared in this album...this album was disappointing
This album is nothing, IF you wanna get into Rakim, go and listen to his 2 solo's "The 18th Letter", "The Master" & especially Eric B & Rakim's "Don't Sweat the Technique" i love that album
pop i think you would sound more appealing to the the young crowd if you was like you was more flamboyant even though you older now we like flamboyant shit now pop i seen Havoc do it maybe you should try it too, if you want the young crowd too.
@h6d46h you've gotta remember these guys are from the actual skill generation. you don't understand respect. you don't need to appeal to people with gimmicks and being flamboyant when you're keeping it real. he doesn't want to sell out.
Peace! All Praises Due To Allah! The God is the reason i got knowledge of self! Let me add on for a sec. I remeber hearing, "Eric B For President"; The tone in the God's voice ignited what felt like an hidden, even ancient Mind set in me to be like my creator therefore he quickened the desire to be God Like! Our true purpose and nature is to magnify Allah( arabic for God)! Rakim extended mentally too many brothers the tenacity of our purpose and i Love the God for that!
The G.O.A.T, Every single rappers has quoted atleast one of his bar's. So what does that tell you. No argument NAS even dedicated a track to the GOD MC. Peace
rakim is the best, theres no doubt bout dat but im startin to think dat for some reason he jus lacks the ability to make a beat, not dat ppl doesnt kno bout rap or dat he isnt catchy or something cause i think this is da kind of song that any radio woud over play at any moment nowadays, but as i said for some reason, it doesnt happen and its a shame cause he deserves to b honored forever by evrybody, but it doesnt seem dat gon happen, most ppl dont even kno him
Rakim is back after 10 years..man...fuck you guys sayin this isnt Rakim's greatest.....Rakim is and always be the god MC in lyrical flow, no matter what album he will release...so again yall other niggaz get your facts right...im out.
these hooks all sound the same and they don't mesh with Ra's style at all...it sounds like someone gave him a beat with a hook and he put some verses on it.
What the Science GOD. Did I Just here "The R" rap about the "man above"???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

There is not a mystery God. The Son of man has searched for that mystery God for trillions of years and was unable to find a mystery God. So they have agreed that the only God is the Son of man. So they lose no time searching for that that does not exist.
@iBRiyALLAH he's using a metaphor he got in touch with his higher self/allah in him what the 85s call a man above he found in himswlf ra aint talking literal
I agree with the last comment, I think the media mainstream is all Soulja Boy'd and Lil Weezied out, "It's been a long time!" HA. The all mighty return of the GOD!
