  • Rakim. The greatest mind of hip hop ever!

  • so Rakim is god right?

  • This is so sick, I think I got a fever.

  • Humans have been worshipping the same One Being for as long as we've been here. Hinduis (possible the world's oldest religion) - Brahma

    Judaism - Jehovah

    Christianity- God

    Muslims- Allah

    We should learn to accept the fact that we are looking at the Same Being in different ways. Just like maths (the language in which one cannot lie) shows us the same answer can be reached by two different equations, so can two different paths lead us to the same destination in the sky...

  • @Yomani666Nomani The Ancient Egyptian Religion. They all stole the teachings from Egypt. Search about Christianity, you will find how much it resembles this religion.

  • @Yomani666Nomani Word!

  • God made this track

  • the best rapper eva to grace the mic-ro-phone glad he's back 

  • Allah made our father Adam by his hand from earth. and put him in heaven but was tricked by Satan our enemy

  • MAN IS NOT GOD....JUST BECAUSE WE WERE MADE IN HIS IMAGE DOESNT MEAN THAT WERE HIM....GOD IS FAR GREATER THAN MAN...WE WILL KNOW THIS WHEN HE DESTROYS THIS PLACE(EARTH). JUST MY OPINION SO DONT GET ALL BENT OUTTA SHAPE... PEACE TO RAKIM ONE OF THE WORLDS GREATEST MC's

  • @PISTOLCITY007 LOL...U said: "...we will know this when HE destroys this place!" It is not MAN already doin' much of that damage??? Check out Psalms 82:6...peep out the wisdom of one our righteous brothers Jesus!!! Peace...

  • Nice shit

  • I can always count on Rakim to set things straight. :O)

  • nice raw oldschoolish rap !!!! :)

  • You guys need to realize this song is about Moors. He's talking about law and how they lost their identity throughout history, which is true.

    If you know anything about Moors you would know.

  • @SemiFilmz Rakim is not a Moor, he's a 5 Percenter. The Moors don't take on the last name of "Allah".

  • @pjds1989 Moor/ Mur is a term applied to all ab-original(black) people. It became a religion in American bc of our child-like state as result of slavery. The term Muur was applied to a few groups of priests & high-priests of KMT & other places around that location that took Islam as a political movement. The origin of Islam is from the moor people/ muur/ mu & mu is applied to salaam making mu-salaam, & the Arab brought down to muslim. They also worshipped the goddess Allat the feminine of Allah

  • Killuminati

  • if rakim knew who god was he would have all those tattoos on his fucking skin..dumb fuck ass

  • @scruffyrunkin

    it's a vessel

  • @OldSoulsDieYoung would you piss on or wipe dog shit on the cup that you drink out of???

  • @scruffyrunkin

    No, but if you're so inclined, i won't hold you back. I don't know what gets you off.

  • no doubt we are god the only god ever witnessed maybe there was or there will a real all mighty god but in our only life time we are the only god and devil proven to exist we all have the power to make from this earth hell or paradise. drop the mic. im out

  • this song is about how God is self created;then he brings it to human form,if you have 120 degree of 1,2,3; than this song is enlighting...how man forgot who God is an how to find god.PEACE-SHABAZZ ALLAH

  • You can not embrace religion & god at the same time. IMPOSSIBLE for religion teaches fear & separation which is NOT OF GOD/LOVE/TRUTH/LIGHT. Love accepts everything without fear, thus religion or ANY separation for that matter is SIN. FEAR IS SIN.

  • The truth we are the Eloheem! Yes Indeed!

  • We are god

  • Mystery Solved: God is love, love is fearlessness which defines the FLOW of energy. Fear is the ONLY enemy of creation. When you embrace life in love & let be then you will become ONE with the universe. Now... WHO IS GOD?

  • The NOI (Nation of Islam) made the 5% percenter's concept.. which was based on Islamic teachings.. So, yeah, I would say he is

  • @TheAlijun1 WHAT? The concept of "only a handful amongst masses who are aware of 'n comprehend things in life from a more realistic view point instead of being caught up in the delusional state produced by devilishment! Was not our "right and just" brother Jesus a teacher of truth & justice who spoke up against the oppressors of his people ('n message was for all those who faced the same conditions in their own countries, 'n day & time)? He was amongst the "handful" doin' that back then...

  • @TheAlijun1 This concept of living Supreme Mathematics (reality/life) is older than the Sun, moon, and stars ITSELF!!! There is not a time that the Asiatic Blackman was not in existence anywhere in this U-N-I-verse...can U show proof of claim of a birthdate of the Original Blackman (black=dominant/supreme; man=intelligence/consciousness­).

  • Rakim is not Muslim,He is a Builder in The Nation of God's and Earth's or some call us The 5%ers.Peace.

  • Rakim=God

  • @hiphop4life24678 all of us=god

  • Comment removed

  • peace to the gods and the earth

  • @Ghousempc the 5% mc's rule

  • this reminds me of eyedea

  • i was outside smoking a bowl, listening to my ipod and i was rediscovering this album again (i got like 8 days worth of music) and shuffled to this song after the title track, yooo this shit blew my fuckin mind all other again, this dude doesnt even murder the beat he gives life 2 it, thats y he the god

  • From unconsciousness to consciousness who is God? You and me Black Man Black Woman. Time to free our selves of this religion aka control/slavery. Recognize yourself as being God. Know Thyself. Peace

  • @iam7who7iam7 what about whitey? ;)

  • so much better then todays stuff. 

  • @ZpHiX2: K-Rino is not infinetely better than canibus, but certainly the deepest. Rakim's internal schemes are peerless too!! Gotta love Rakim, this brother is impeccable!

  • wtf this song's like a textbook

  • @ShadowSpy the truth aint for everybody...if you want mindless entertainment, try lil B

  • Dis was always my birth rite!!!!!! Elijah told u dis in "Message to the Black man", if u paid attention!!!!!!!

  • WHO IS GOD???...... IAM

  • I wonder how many people realize Rakim is saying we are God?

  • @HybridD91 exactly.

  • @HybridD91 I do

  • @HybridD91

    Ah, how right he is. We collectively are.

  • @HybridD91 There is quite of few who do, but an even greater number who have no clue whatsoever!!! Psalms 82:6

  • @HybridD91 how are we God?

  • @HybridD91 hopefully many do man people need to realize

  • @HybridD91

    That's the beauty of it

  • @HybridD91 i thought his a muslim?

  • @AkramPropheci Not at all. What he's associated with has links to the Muslim way of life but he's 5% Nation

  • @1LETHALMC so officialy his not a muslim in terms of islamic faith, what his saying in this song its just rediculous for a muslim person to believe in, he constantly condridict himself. firsst he say "allah is the creator of all" and then again he goes "univers was always existed and univers gave birth to the mankind" rakim allah? wow

  • @NellStalgya: very true, bro! Nas, while a wicked cat, cannot summon the deep, flow-infused narrative skillz of God Rakim. See, Rakim can get into the metaphysical, the spiritual and the day-to-day realms, and he can get your there with a fluidity that sounds simple, effortless, but is far from it. Much like Ali, he makes it look easy, but the technique is incomparabe and nobody else can step. The 18th letter joint is mind blowing, and so too is Musical massacre. Peace

  • I AM.

  • I AM!!

  • No disrespect but who said Nas is the best Storyteller, I just can listen too this with my full concetration and get some schoolin from the god

  • PEACE TO THE GODS AND THE EARTHS PEACE TO THE GOD RAKIM ALLAH

  • This man's flow is flawless

  • @omghahaxd correction the gods flow is flawless

  • they put down in words, in a book

    direct from the true MCing masters,

    all the techniquez of bein an MC, named-=

    ...H:0W ... TO ...,R:AP..

    incredibly ill

    book yall

  • @ultimatevcfan pardon self, rakim is not muslim. he's Nation of Gods And Earths another name is 5%er. look us up on google u might like what u read or hear. we only give u the truth. we civilize the human families. Peace.

  • The mystery is solved!

  • kick some knowlegde, kick some issanass.

  • His best song

  • its all Tamarean (Kemetic) Science which we translate it as Nuwapu the science of it Hotep (peace)

  • Speechmatic yes nuwapu or nuwabu under Malachi Z York The United Nuwabian Nation of Moors. Rakim was speaking on this track bascially about right knowledge which means nuwabu or nuwapu

  • i learned more about science in the 5:21 seconds of this song than my earth science teacher could teach me in a semester, in my freshman year of high school a few years back

  • @theduke4242 yeah k-rino open eyes like a keys to a door

  • right knowledge right reasoning right way of thinking he was referring to teachings of nuwapu if anyone was paying attention

  • @TheAndre396 nuwapu?

  • @SpeechMatic Nation of God and Earths 5%ers

  • @SpeechMatic Nation of God and Earths 5%ers

    This is not Nuwapu....Rakim has been in the Understanding and Study of The Nation of Gods and Earths aka the 5%ers since he came on the scene in 1986. This is common since when you follow his body of work, he wears the Universal flag on most of his album covers. Peace

  • @Divineasiatic7 ohhh i dont know much bout 5%ers but im familiar with it my friend said we are relevant to them just different religous views but thank you for clearing that up for me

  • knowledge born god nothing but truth

  • This is unbelievable. Why don't MCs do this more often?

  • @UstadToBe Because most MC's don't have the proper Knowledge of themselves,or think that building on a mic will defect record sales. Peace

  • The Black Peoples of Planet Earth is GODS... Psalms 82:6. The God Rakim is kickin mad knowledge...

  • I love Rakim but do you guys know who is K-rino??? If not get familiar. Grand Deception is a good start to do so. Lifting the Veil, Surface Dwellers, Kill the Preacher, The Serpent, The Debate, Valley of Death etc. K-rino is the Down South Rakim equivalent. One.

  • damn, he rockin.

  • You are, Rakim

  • i like this song

  • Look guys,we keep talking about rap,style,and who is better, etc ...

    But ,Now,What I just heard out of this song,IS JUST FUCKING SHOCKING!

    I think Rakim is a real true MC raps about real important stuff!

  • Mom: What did you learn today

    Me: I have learned the Muslim theory about how the universe is created as well as as the possibilties and explanations of the mystical "God" and how he was concieved and created said universe. From the very beginnings of simple minerals and dust to modern day. I could give you the whole lesson later on if you so are so inquired. Quite tantalizing if I do say so myself.

    Mom: Those schools are actually teaching you now?

    Me: Schools are puerile! Rakim Mom! Rakim!

  • @yomadda67 Dope comment :D rly funny, but Rakim isn't Muslim - 5 perecenters aren't muslim :) They use only name of Islam's God :)

  • @yomadda67 you took the time to think that shit up so i liked it

  • If schools played his music, test scores would rise

  • @ZpHiX2 lol thats what I was telling my freind the other day

  • @ZpHiX2

    your a moron , schools dont want high test scores

    they only want a few to succeed everyone else down the level

    and one son wont actually influence a high test score

  • @blackoil911 I'm the moron? So, I'm in high school, and I'm smart as hell, the point I was trying to make, which obviously was overlooked or misinterpruted by you, was that Rakim spits lyrics, and knowledge, and that most people who listen to him tend to learn a thing or two.......and no....the school I go to a great school, and the teacher's work hard to make sure we succeed, its up to the kids to accept the teaching, and try hard to pass.....

  • @ZpHiX2

    your a idiot i dont give a fuck about u and ur skool lol

    i am just saying you are dumbass who cant explain himself properly the first time around

    and no schools and ensure everyone to pass with 70-80 but dont do it becuz they will get fired dumbass

  • @blackoil911 Did i have to explain myself to anyone except you...no i didn't, and i shouldn't even have to now..... but no, my teachers and all the staff work hard as teachers to make sure we succeed, a teacher doesnt have to offer help after school for 2 hours, but they do anyway....shut the fuck up..... i wonder who the true dumbass is....

  • @ZpHiX2

    thats why you said if everyone listens to rakim the grades will go up DUMB ASS

  • @blackoil911 OMFG you idiot.... I was saying he spits knowledge..... and history..... which directly relates to school........

  • @ZpHiX2

    no your saying something different dumbass lol

    you must be the dumbest kid in your class with no gf cuz u think a song will make a person smart in school/college / university HAHAHAHAHAHAH

  • @blackoil911 Now, how dumb do you have to be misinterpret that statement literally....... do you actually think I meant, that a song would a person smart in his/her entirety... I'm not dumb at all....and I've had a steady relationship with my gf for 2 years now... I love arguements lol, this is fun, anyway, I'm saying anyone, no matter what IQ can learn a thing or two by listening to RAKIM

  • @ZpHiX2

    yea sure you probably have a gf in your magazine page cuz your dumb

    You are now changing your fucking story cuz it sounds fucking stupid

    you clearly meant that a fucking song can change a educational system score is retarded , becuz school material is much more different than a fucking rap material and your dumb becuz your now saying a song can increase IQ more u talk the more u expose your sillyness

  • @blackoil911 No, shit! I wish my girlfriend was out of a magazine lol, but she still cute and smart, and I love that, anyway, what I said was a hyperbole, I didn't literally mean a rap song can teach you the same way school does....(example, Immortal Technique says " because Condoleezza Rice is just a new age Sally Hemmings," if someone doesn't know who Sally Hemmings is, they research it, and she is taught about in school..." its the same way, with Rakim"

  • @ZpHiX2

    sure , u probably jerk the magazins like a routine like here

    hyperbole = my toilet paper in my ass

    you are by far the dumbest guy i dont give a fuck about what sally hemmings??? u need to becareful what u type cuz ur a moron

  • @blackoil911 Yes, of course I do, in case you didn't catch that, that was sarcasm, anyway, I'm not dumb by far lol, and a hyperbole is a statement not to be taken seriously........ I don't have to explain myself to you, an egotistical, pretentious, close minded idiot

  • @ZpHiX2

    see you saying all kind of dumb chit to me ?? i dont give a fuck all im saying is your smoking crack

    if u think high school scores are affected by rap music''' u can make all the excuses u want but u dont know how to type

  • @blackoil911 I'm done talking about this shit.... how long are you going to hold onto a hyperbole? my statement was ambiguous...you could take it however you wanted to take it....now STFU

  • @ZpHiX2

    thats just you covering up ''' excuses excuses oh wait bitch i just being sarcastic'''' so wink wink dont take it personal

  • @ZpHiX2 if school's played "Canibus AKA javelin fangz " kid's would graduate with their master's...

  • @TheRealestout212 1000% agreed. canibus is pure genius

  • One way on how we got started, and what we need to get started again

  • This is real HIP HOP in rare form.

  • I never knew he did this track - THIS IS LIVE!!!

    -G

  • Pour ceux qui ne savent pas encore qui est Dieu!

    Rakim vous explique qui ALLAH(Dieu) est!

  • Peace FAM!!!!!! BY FAR THIS MAN IS THE GREATEST MC THAT EVER LIVED BY DESIGN HIS VOICE WAS SILENCED TO KEEP OUR YOUTH FROM THE KNOWLEDGE THAT WOULD FREE THEM, LIKEWISE WITH KRS-1 AND OTHER POSITIVE MC'S LONG LIVE THE GOD RAKIM ALLAH THERE IS NO DEATH FOR YOU OR YOUR MUSIC!!!!!! PEACE

  • I love this song , althou is up for debate if we really are gods in this world , but i still like rakim has a rapper him and canibus are the best.

  • Peace G

  • look in the mirror..but dont fool yaself...u aint alone...we r 1...all is Jah...PEACE

  • "Travel through time ... 66 trillion years ... "

  • Allah lives in all things it is easy to see. If you go out to the wilderness, or if you just take a look at animals in the wild. Simpler then that go to a field with flowers in the spring time and just watch the bees performing their duties based on Allah decree. They were given an order and they obey it with unconditional love and devotion. Now if only mankind (an-nas) could do this, take heed oh transgressors of the world! Be kind to your brother no matter your differences.

  • These Lost found sheep are sleeping on Rakim. Lord Please have mercy on them

  • no man has power over another in the rule of God which is why society is messed up.

  • @DRPR0CT0R this is gayplanet.........

  • @ints85 haha no.. opositie, where do you live?

  • @DRPR0CT0R in estonia, we have a parliament o 101 members, most of them are men lol

  • @ints85 Yeah you need hot totty everywhere..some woman love politic's i'd rather someone dumb 2 run a country.. because the powerful are 2 deceptful , at least a dumb person would do an honest job..

  • @thaOFFICIALJAPAN He refers to himself as God because he is God, Rakim Allah. The NGE do not believe in a mystery God. Man is God, the colored man is the original man so the colored man is God

  • @DoDirty760 Peace...correction please: the colored man is NOT GOD, the colored man is the caucasian man (white man), or Yacub's grafted devil of the planet Earth. Colored meaning: altered, not in its original, or natural state; man meaning intelligence/mind...a man who is not in tuned with that which is original and divine (pure). A blackman acting other than his own true Self is not in accordance with his Godly nature, and is therefore dealing wit' a colorful (deceptive) state of thinking!

  • @meechamaka411 Who ever taught you that would neither be right or wrong. There are meaning teaching of the truth. Some see it as the colored man, meaning Black/African. Some may see and define it as Black and some will just say the original man, African-born. That's the one tricky thing about the fathers teachings, there is no original book and a variety of opinions, beliefs, and ways of living.

  • @DoDirty760 Peace...LOL...there is nothing tricky about the Father's teachings if you know and understand what it is that you are dealing with through constant application (of the knowledge). Gettin' to know about somethin' 1st, before you just jump in [act] on it (withouth research), will save you from alotta heartaches, headaches, pain, and grief (HELL). What's so tricky about that? Peace...

  • @meechamaka411 Sigh, you sound like some of those who follow of the major world religions and their whole concept of "if you don't agree with me then you're wrong." Anyone could tell you that not even the true originals can 100% agree on the word. The Father Allah never created a formal writing of the truths. Everything was taught word of mouth. Because of this, many different forms of the word has been taught and passed down. Because of this, many Gods view things differently.

  • @meechamaka411 Many incorporate different philosophical concepts and religious beliefs in with them. There is no formal uniform belief or way of thing in the Nation. Some may disagree, but that's okay. The Father supported debate and discussion as long as Gods didn't disrespect each other.

  • @DoDirty760 Peace...U lost me, G! U jus' described every religion, culture, etc. dat has existed on this planet. U jus' stated: There is no formal uniform belief or way of thing in the Nation. What formal uniform belief or way of thing is there in Christianity, or any other religion? And, PLEASE define "belief or way of THING" [what's "thing"]? I need some charity on dat before I can go on. AND the Father showed & proved has ALWAYS BEEN HERE! It's jus' new to those who have a hard time grasp'n.

  • @meechamaka411 Uniform belief/a written dialogue or scripture with Christians, Islam, or the Hebrew community generally accept within their own circles (bible, etc.). The works or guidelines that were put in written form for the Nation was not written by the father himself and majority came after his passing. As for as "thing" I meant to say thinking.

  • @DoDirty760 OK?!?! Free thinkers?!?! We continuously expand our minds and actions sparked from what the Father left us to draw up (understand), and utilize for Self daily in order to be successful in all our endeavors/undertakings...SOMET­HING WRONG WIT' THAT??? I know it's not a crime to think for Self, and to be able to do right for Self without the help of the "U supposed to be this/be that to get ahead" approach. That's how religion beats down on U...and U know it! LOL...I know U laff, too

  • @meechamaka411 And you just helped prove my point. Nothing wrong with free thinking. Like I said before, the Father supported debate and discussions without disrespect. With freethinking, you're going to get different opinions and ideas. That freedom has allowed others to combine the teachings with other philosophical views. Like you said, there is nothing wrong with that.

  • @DoDirty760 LOL...I can do this all day long...it's a beautiful thing...this is how one learns (as well as shows and proves) thru continous growth and development. I am glad I was able to help prove your point, BUT I'm still waiting on what I asked U a while back about the word "tricky"? That's all...

  • Peace to the God, this is fire in knowledge

  • rakim repped the moors well on this joint

  • peace too the mystery schools

  • Holy shit!!This is the most intellectual rap ever produced...sorry nas

  • @jackiemoon04 nah dude, The Lost Children Of Babylon or Immortal Technique are way better

  • @scudster69 you make a fair point there brah

  • @thaOFFICIALJAPAN yes man, go ahead and expand your mind

  • @lunatic284 He refers to him self as Allah from him Muslim Attribute to him self. It's part of his Muslim name reveal to him by Allah or his teacher (Imam) . there's millions of Muslims that have the Attributed to the name. It's represent who they are in retrospect. He is Not referring to himself as God. But as Representative of God. Study Islam or the 5 percent Nation or even The Nation Of Islam. All Praise Due to Most High

  • No matter what your religion or faith is about , song like this are good for the establishment of a good society. Too bad we dont see these peals in our TV. FORCE YOUR CHILDREN TO LISTEN TO THIS.

  • its not even fair theres everyone else and then theres the god rakim words cant describe the jewels and lyrics on this cut

  • can some1 explain to me why he alwayz referz to himself as rakim allah ( not just in this song? does he mean it as in rakim "the god"? cuz in the end , after repeatedly using allahs name in the end hez like "rakim allah. NOW WHO IS GOD". i thnk itz buzzy how he talkz the whole song about a god and callz himself the god at the end . a clever twist in the end sort of. but im wondering if my interpretation is correct?does he mean hez as close to god as we wil get or is he praising a god

  • @lunatic284 I don't really know exactly, sometimes he refers to himself as god, sometimes there's a third person god in his lyrics.You can look up "5 percent nation" on google to read about Ra's religious background. I'd say god in the third person as well as the first is the god or the divine that is him or anybody else, but i don't know for sure.

  • this song pleases me

  • The greatest MC of all time I say without any doubt.

  • the best song ever :)

    islam 4 life

  • This is a wonderful video my son loves Hip-Hop so therefore I listen to Hip-Hop quite often. I would like to personally thank Rakim for stepping up to the plate and singing about God. Putin positive messages in his songs. I will post this on my FB page for all youngsters I know to view. Peace and Love, God Bless, Keep up the powerful messages.

  • No one would dare miss the like button.
