Rakim is too damn sick for his own good; brother 2-PAC worshipped the "God MC". Nobody - not GZA, not Black Thought, not KRS-One, not immortal, not even K-Rino can eclipse the technical and erudite flow of Rakim! His punchlines and catch-phrases are riddled in gold albums like Follow The leader, Paid In Full, Don't Sweat The technique, and now he's coming up with skillz that are just dope. He's diamond-sharp, and so when you're called The God by your peers...man, that's game set and match!
im 16 from lynnwood wa i found rakim and eric b at 13 bumpin let the rhythm hit em breakin to that is still dope to this day dont die before im up there with you
wow. i love hip hop but i hate so many rappers that i dont bother checking people out most of the time, if i stumble across someone i like thats great but otherwise i dont bother with most rappers. but i have to say... THANK GOD i found rakiim, his flow and lyricism are just insane.
Stick the R on your dome and you've just increased your I.Q by 170%. This brother is the First Wonder of The World in Hip-Hop - the Grand Canyon has nothing on this Legend, just echo! His fluidity of style can be freebased off the speakers (as Rakim spits: "Try mix any kind of dope with me you O.D.") God said, Let there be Hip-Hop, and he created Rakim. He's the church - difference is, you don't have to wait till Sunday to hear him. Many may follow but the leader leads.
"THE REAL G.O.A.T.!" Can't be disputed! "REAL TALK!" Line up "ALL" RAPPERS,MC'S,POET'S,LYRICIST "WHATEVER! And when you through RAKIM"S The "GREATEST"!
still bumping this since last year, still havent gotten enough of this song!
