  • normally when i see a rap song and it says brand new, i don't click on it, but since its rakim.......

  • rakim is the god of hip hop just crown the man already

  • Rakim is an originator but this beat and that dude singing in the background is hot garbage, wheres Eric B. at?

  • No triplets in the vocals, no swing, no change in melody during the verses. This song is Nothing.

  • @lllorez Rakim is the greatest lyricists of all time, retard...

  • Underground man ...the start of all successfull...

  • Real Hip Hop is where it always have been, underground.

  • i got what u lookin for, let me in open the door, i dont spit hommie i roar, lions on land but minds soar, through the sky, up real high, couldnt see with the best eye, work till im the best guy, till then fuck the next guy, nothin but evil on the radio, they cool cuz devil says so, fuck all the major record labels, fuck all these shows on cable, its a brainwash in effect, 1 2 mic check im set

  • Stuck in a time of drought, nothing to rhyme about

    Ghetto and crime, on the grind, pulling iron out

    Industry crying out, major labels buying out

    Who put the fire out? Real Hip-Hop is dying out

    so sad but so true.

  • Rakim the GREAT always & 4eva .. man getting better & better .. and flowin' 4eva

  • RAKIM ALLAH

  • 28 people didn't understand the word vocabulary - drop outs

  • Rakim. The best ever!!! No beefs, disrespect from anyone. These new boys need to get off the boat and take notes/all these bubble gum rappers are really candy coated/no matter how many notes they take/they try to spit like Rakim and they still all come off fake/32 bars in a 4 minute song/lyrically difficient, they need a lyrical shot of adrinaline, robot voices and synths sounding like some Ghetto Kraftwork, they go up against a true mc and watch em get their crafts worked. Rakim #1!!!!

  • @pstrscott took the words out my mouth...

  • he looks like McNabb

  • @TheCorruptedFiles you look like an asshole

  • lil wayne???? get the fuck out of here!!! hes not even the dirt under Rakims shoes!!

    

  • many people think rakim's beat is weak, but i think it's not true.

    rather, i think rakim's beat is great..

    since rakim's god mc, beat totally doesn't matter...

  • sisiiii !! top !

  • 28 people is nothing.

  • If you took Rakim's late 80's rap and put it on a new beat, kids would never know it was old. He set the standard for contempory rappers.

    Waaaaaay ahead of his time.

  • @redibexred That's really true. You see that just by listening to this tune right here

  • brand new my ass, but great though

  • Damn Right. The Gods Rep is still enormous. Caught Ra live for the first time in Manchester and he is the God. Probably the best that I have heard live. His crispness of sound was so on point added onto bringing his ill delivery and wordplay to the stage. Manchester was truly blessed by the God.

  • This brother flows impeccably; his word-skills are so DOPE it's...well, Nothing for the Heavyweight of Hip-Hop to spit gold on the mic. Seen the "R" live so many times, and he's just enviably kick-ass. Today he's bringing his scriptures to the forefront of the Hip-Hop culture, rather than ascribe to a profit-directed industry. As KRS asks: Prophet or Profit? We all know where the God resides! 18th letter, doesn't get any better. Peace.

  • Without the gun on my Hip I bring the new Hop,

    For Scott La Rock, Freaky Ty, L, Biggie Smalls and Tupac, I'm back!

  • Master Scribe, good to hear you still spitting

  • New found artist for myself

    New found favorite

  • @OhMyGodHubbib Glad to have you as another fan to the GOD MC.

  • I know I'm gonna start some discussion here but... let's be honest everyone. I understand paying respect to those who have passed but honestly. Pac got me through some times because of his passion. You could relate. But lyrically, he's OK at best. Biggie was hot for a couple of years... a few good lines... still love him. But Not even in the same league as Jay and Rakim.

  • @i11aNoiz Canibus will always be the greatest lyricist of all time

  • @JonnyGee3

    Canibus is tight... he just chose to go at the wrong artists at the wrong time. It was a popularity contest that "won that battle". He prematurely ended his own career with that move.

  • I cant press "like" enough.

  • Hey guys im trying to get Hip Hop back alive and me and some other people do it by writing a long list of all kinds of good real Hip Hop song's.. and yeah trust me this song is on the list.. but PM me if you want the list.. a lot of real good songs there.. so PM me if you want the list and pm me back if you want us to add something to the list.. our goal is to send it to as many people as possible to make it very long and get some new Hip Hop fans! :) pm me back if you want me to add your songs

  • @HepHop4ever i want the list

  • love ra this shit kind of sucks though

  • RAKIM IS KEEPING HIPHOP ALIVE! 

  • what lil wayne? lil wayne shouldnt be mentioned in this! fuck lil wayne dont stop talking about him! who keeps mentioning lil wayne? you are ya dumb mother fuckers.

  • THE 28 WITH YA THUMBS DOWN...YA DUMBED DOWN!

  • people hate on Lil Wayne saying they shouldn't bring him up on this shit, well why'd You bring him up? Man, people just got to keep hating. I thought Hip Hop was all about love. Lil Wayne still makes music, I don't like it but he's going to keep doing what he does, nothing you can do about it. Let's see You make it to the music industry.

  • damn.......rap is a damn shame now imagine how the true MC's feel seeing what happend to what they built

  • Love rakim, hate song..made a good comeback 10 years ago..problem isn't rha, its everyone else demands lame old same old

  • peep my tracks ans sub..

  • big rakim fan, but RAKIM WOULDA SOLD MORE IF HE HAD A SENSE OF HUMOR

  • Just Blaze is underrated IMO.

  • Rakim and just blaze? auto classic

  • 28 people are truly nothing.

  • RAW

  • Man this is sick...

    WTF... 28 Niggas ain't Nothin.

  • Freaky Tah!

  • B0w . 

  • bow down for the hip hop legend

  • Rakim's the greatest to ever do it. clown like lil wayne need to bow down to The R

  • 27 people should fk them selfs

  • @IQThuGz ... Stop making those shit comments.. they're not entertaining, never have been and never will be. Grow up!

  • @Agrashsallam hater go fuck yourself

    rakim for life

  • @IQThuGz Hater? You think that I'm "hating" on you? No, I just think you an immature moron. You say Rakim for life.. You will probably not stay a fan for more then a year..

  • @Agrashsallam ohh gee thats really mature of you fighting over who is more of a "fan"..

    how low can your dignity go? "The worst thing a human can do is not use the virtue of thinking"

    so just shut up and think before you speak,or at least check your own sentence and tell yourself if this make any sense... this whole argument is pointless .. why am I even contributing with this stupid argument is beyond me.. .. - _ -..just enjoy the good music.

  • he shoul hook up with erick b again

  • perfect rhyming scheme, meaningful lyrics, and an unbeatable flow, he is back

  • do you hear the realness that R drops?!! this is the reason the industry shut these guys out! you put a real emcee like rakim next to one of these sellout 'stars' and their light gets dim real fast!

  • @kaoss0515 EXXXXXXXXACTLY!! Today's rappers wouldn't last 0.00001 seconds against real EMCEES!

  • must admit I was KINDA sleep on Rah...knew he was Hot but neva really got into his

    music much...THAT HAS CHANGED!!!

  • Who put the fire out? Well it looks like hip-hop's dyyyiiinn out.

  • the second verse could be one of th best in hiphop histy

  • @MaggTutch Noooooooo,----that is a daaamn good verse---but the best verse in Hip Hop history HAS to be the last verse Pac spits on "Me against the world" <<

    check that shit.

  • damn one of the best rappers of all time

  • we live in a world with poeple who have shite taste in music! i say hip hop till i fucking die word up respect rakim bitches one of da realest niggahs there is

  • its sad when legendary rappers

  • yo you guys talking shit about lil wayne is bullshit. I admit, his mainstream pop/faggot shit is gay as balls but his OLD stuff, his freestyle and just in general he's a good rapper

  • Lil Waynes name shouldn't even be mentioned on a legends video like this

  • @Hydro2oo9 straight up enuff said. this is rakim your watching the old nigga who used to kill it with eric b dont pollute real hip hop with your young money you dumb fucks. hydro2009 knows whats good

  • @Hydro2oo9 soooo fuckin true

  • @Hydro2oo9 congratz now its at the top of this video

  • @nygrafite1 well atleast there is 1 positive from it, we know that atleast 54 know their hip hop!

  • @Hydro2oo9 YUP! Wayne is average at best. Drake? HAAA, he is a Disney kid. Rakim is the best lyricist of all time, not even in the same league. Shame what has happened to the industry, though at least some are making money

  • @dmoney668 why you dissing wayne and drake, Rakim aint dissing no one i like all 3 of them stop hating

  • @Hydro2oo9 super-ironic comment

  • Comment removed

  • @Hydro2oo9 Lil Wayne's not even in the same genre as Rakim.

  • simple as this @WeezyDrakeYoungMoney ur a fag you dont know real rap and you can shove any lil wayne cd up ur ass there are so many people that destroy lil wayne in comparison with themselves just cause you sold alot of cd's doesnt make you the best rapper ever it just means you could have had a song that has appeal by making it more pop than rap a rapper is based on their lyrical content lil wayne talks about bullshit and many other rappers rap about the struggle of life simple as that

  • MASTER
