Rakim-The Greatest Rapper Ever!

[dinodesmond]

im only 15 but i know when there is good rap. this is one good song

[thatdudecozz89]

For some reason, I remember this song on NBA Shootout 2001. Terrible game, but this CLASSIC song ended up being the BEST and only useful part in the game.

[xXteknomaticXx]

This played at my last basketball game. Good times,

[valnyc]

no matter what year it is, respect will be a must!

[lexyota]

I dont have a top 5 ..I have a top 3.

1- Rakim

2- Krs-one

3- Kool G Rap

[MrJazzHOP]

@Juan321C: Correction: Rakim IS the best!!

[Juan321C]

Rakim...one of the BEST!

[1stcopahittheground]

AND IF RAKIM IS NO IN THE TOP 5 MC, YOU DON'T KNOW HIP HOP.

[1stcopahittheground]

he was before his time. he'll CRUSH ANY RAPPER TODAY.

[donnwest1980]

@1stcopahittheground i do agree im 31 i remember when this came out these rappers now & days don't know their craft or haven't paid their real dues to this hip hop game.

[Ihate4040]

[JohnnyBakery]

6 people are a joke.

[maxdett90]

[NOSIDDa0043]

[TsugaruClan]

6 people disliking the God on the mic? That's no joke, and they shall be dealt with promptly. That, too, is no joke.

[Ihate4040]

@TsugaruClan I know that's rite

[RUFFGOIN]

this 46 yr old white boy still likes this shit. even in his big dam house.

[kramraux]

Rappers back then had talent (has actual lyrical content) and swagger. Indeed they floss jewelry, but got it from actual skill. After getting payed, they stayed true and didn't slack off.

[kevjohn2006]

Nobody beats The R, so stop yelling. Save it, put it in your pocket for later!

[mrjodoku]

6 people ARE A JOKE!!

[jjcatful]

the jokes just write themselves..don't they??

[bigvillian26]

i remember exactly where I was when I first heard this and thats what the evolution of hip hop is about head bangers that change the game as a art form

[hasbro151]

6 dick jerkers dislike this

[Raythizzel]

648 likes, 6 dislikes I'M Just Wondering What 6 Didnt Like This????LOL They Must Be DeFF!!!

[interestingtheory414]

"I HOLD THE MICROPHONE LIKE A GRUDGE, B AH HOLD THE RECORD SO THE NEEDLE WON'T BUDGE. I HOLD A CONVERSATION CAUSE WHAT I INVENT I NOMINATED MY D.J. FOR PRESIDENT". MASTER CRAFTSMAN.............WHO CAN DISPUTE IT?, OR REFUTE IT?.

[csrac23]

one of the best albums ever!

[ShadowsHaveShadows1]

swag = personality

[SuperSagat610]

So raw for a song from '87.

Rakim is the G.O.A.T!

[TheEazee]

@illmatic826 woooooord!!!!!!!!

[signifypr]

When the beat drops on this song it ALWAYS takes me back to my steps in Brooklyn. This is REAL hip hop.

[stgabesbball31]

do you guys really not think eminem is a top 5 rapper of all time? just curious to see. i personally find him to be the best there is

[jmiester25]

lol Limp Bizkit

[bigo3719]

Top Rappers

1. Nas/Rakim

2. Rakim/Nas

3. Pac/Biggie

4. Biggie/Pac

5. Big Pun/Big L

[sirlancealot51]

@bigo3719 All these dudes are like 5th generation only.

I know your young and havent heard rap from day one to present

..........do that................then judge.

[bigo3719]

@sirlancealot51 fair enough... can i hear your top 5 list? maybe u can tell me about some rappers i've never heard..

[KindredKunoichi]

This Album sounds EXACTLY like the Year it came from!!

Rakim is just cool as steel, absolutely calm, & absolutely fuckin' deadly!! Eric B. remains one of the best ever on the turntable!

Just realised Pun used a li'l sample from this on his Tres Leches Track!!!

[angerrich]

80s&90s was the best....hip hop de-evolved,,

[gjc82071]

When I was a young teen, I remember buying this cassette when it 1st came out. I'd only listened before to groups like, Run DMC, The Fat Boys, UTFO, etc. I'd never heard anything like this! In the late 80's, this girl who was from D.C. moved here (Niagara Falls, NY) & went to my school. She introduced me to a little group called "N.W.A". I put on the head phones & was instantly blown away. It wasn't just the beats, but the #&$% this & @#$!, etc! I was all like "They are swearing!" LOL!

[NXLFilms]

I hold the microphone like a grudge!!!! OMG!! there will never be another RAKIM!! CLASSIC niggas!!! Classic!!!!!...............

[gymbudPS]

Real Bass heard for Blocks.. so Cali Style!!

[coold97]

6 people got paid on check, js

[djshizel95]

rakim shits on nas

[TheMunchMaster]

@djshizel95 i wouldn't go so far as saying that cause they both have different styles, im not nas's biggest fan but he's got talent for sure.

[djshizel95]

@TheMunchMaster it shouldnt matter cuz nas fans always say he's better than any1 :P

[1992lance]

@djshizel95 I'm a big Nas fan, and I will honestly say he's better than Biggie, and stomps Eazy E (if you have ghostwriters, Nas is automatically better), but I will admit that he can't touch Rakim.

[djshizel95]

@1992lance dont fkin ha8 on eazy e are u fkin kidding me dude eazy wrote most of his shit cube only wrote SOME of his stuff in nwa but after nwa he wrote everything & made the hardest diss of all time real muthaphukkin g's once u said i cant take u seriously anymore & biggie would stomp nas as well

[adangme]

@djshizel95 Hey watch it!...Nas was Rakim's successor, AND a true Prodigy!

[djshizel95]

@adangme succesor as what?? i hope you dont mean king of NY cuz Big L ran NY

[adangme]

@djshizel95 No dude, as Hip-Hop's premier lyricist.

[djshizel95]

@adangme he's not even the best lyricist LOL big l eminem big pun & biggie r just a few to name that r better than nas

[adangme]

@djshizel95 What R U smoking? Then you really must be 16!

[djshizel95]

@adangme & how much older r u lol if ur over 18 then y r u arguing with a teenager thats fkin pathetic & stop riding nas's chode he's not as good as many ppl say he is & he is a very bland & boring rapper his only alright album is illmatic & he has a couple other good songs

[TheT3XT]

Wanna hear a joke?

...Well, those comments are overused, so I won't name another new-school artist.

But Eric B. And Rakim surely ain't no joke, that's for sure.

[gspeigle]

IF YOU EVER HEARD THIS ON ANYTHING BESIDES WALMART COMPUTER SPEAKERS YOU WOULD KNOW THIS SONG AINT NO JOKE!

[westside159]

[1992lance]

[HybridD91]

@aqiylm62 Why would Justin Bieber dislike Rakim? That joke doesn't even make sense and Gucci Mane doesn't know how to use a computer.

[mrcanadian420]

@aqiylm62 all of them besides beiber have said they liked rakim so you kinda faild lol

[Colemank8]

Legendary

[signifypr]

This song always makes we feel like I did as a teenager with hip hop....you lived and breathed it.

[itsmeinthe603]

so dope he says

"B'll hold the record so the needle dont budge."

Thats the difference....thats the old school

Eric B didnt have to scream some bullshit and ruin the songs like DJs today....

Rakim got his props, " I hold the microphone like a grudge" then said Eric B is my nigga and hes on point with the beats "B'll hold the record so the needle dont budge."

[micpeee]

5 PEOPLE ARE A JOKE !!! BWAAAAHHAHAHA

[confused674]

[buck770]

"I treat you like child and your gonna be named"-Rakim REAL HIP HOP

[LILJJ211]

See this whole album is no other three words then fly, artistic, and a masterpiece when you compare it to hip hop nowadays as katt williams would say this shit right here nigga this shit right here nigga will shit all over hip hop nowadays.

[rockk0]

[flavjuniorgrill]

@LeoBioSoul

[2Muchpjp]

@illmatic826 ppl today only see swag as the clothes you were. but it's really the dope character that one carries with his or herself...word

[FreshDoggful]

I have this vinyl !! !!

[bahalospanty]

@ShaAllah7 was??? he still is mine..to bad he dosnt have his music played on the radio so the masses could be exposed to what real hip hop is, instead we are fed lil wayne and other garbage

[bahalospanty]

The BEST EVER! DID YOU HEAR ME????EVERRRRRRR!!!!!!!! Jay Z Emenem and all these newer rappers wish the could have the smooth delivery and metaphors the Ra has!

[cavaleer]

[nubada]

long live the "R"

[chillywilly0]

this is what hip hop is all about!!!! no joke!!

[wicketts16]

LOL, you guys are all hilarious. What you hear now-a-days evolved from this, you guys are listening to the wrong hip hop that is coming out now, or something. Sure there are some shitty rappers now, but what really makes this better? There are plenty of people who rap about real shit other then pussy money weed. As far as I'm concerned I'm listening to some guys make metaphors about being on a mic.

[ChiVic64]

@wicketts16 Nowadays most good hip-hop is underground.

Many mainstream devolved.
