[ColdOasisU2]

remarkable album

[BTown787]

why waste time on the mic

[LikeZO]

@BTown787 This song as well as several others on this album have had many lyrics, verses, and samples taken from it. True classic.

[glottis5]

i heard this inspired grindin

[newlytrollin]

Drop the mic when I'm finished and watch it smoke

[MrJazzHOP]

Possibly the greatest Rap song ever written - certainly Rakim is the most lyrically brilliant brother to bless a mic. Today he's spitting fire, with lines like: "To me a writer's block is a good block to write on." Or: "Timeless, so age don't count in a booth, when your flow stay submerged in the fountain of youth." Any doper and we'd O.D!

[RebelAllianceMedia]

@MrKING1833 Yup, no one ever dissed The R' and never will.

[nasty94nas]

@RebelAllianceMedia kane and epmd both dissed him but it never escalated. this track actually disses kane

[DoublePromo]

@nasty94nas With all due respect, that's incorrect. This record came out in 1986 - before Kane was making records.

[TJkn1206]

I wanna live good

[raisor2000]

@greenockaldo I agree with you..I Have visit the Def Jam Tour '87 here in holland and sometimes he even playbacked over his own track,but still Rakim is my fav mc of all time along with Big Daddy Kane in the '80

Tragedy was dope too in a lyricall way on "Live Motivator and The Rebel and his recordings with the Super Kids

Def Jam tour '87 watch?v=d4SqIySObLI @ 4,00 min.

[taripres]

"I'll take 7 emcees putm in a line, then add 7 more brothers who think they can rhyme, it'll take 7 more before I go for mines - that was 21 emcees ate up at the same time" Still get chills til this day when I hear that line....one of the illest, sickest lines ever in Hip Hop!!

This is the Hip Hop song that led to diverse styles and various ways of emceeing! Rakim is the Architect of the Realest Truest Art Form of EMCEEING which is the purest form of HIP HOP... This Song is Legendary All Hip Hop began to change after this song. 6 Minutes and 48 seconds of How to MC!

[omnigifted]

[MrFerrelli1]

This is and was the BANGER!!!! Rolling down Broad St 7mph on a Sunday. 85 degrees out, all heading to the park to chill. This was playing from your 6x9 Pioneer 3 way speakers from your six crystal Alpine cassette deck...backed by an equalizer...you still with me. With a New Bedford red bone w Indian hair in the front seat and the fellas in the rear.

Did Marley Marl produce this?

[musiqgem]

@RJota15 "Marley Marl synthesized it - I memorize it - Eric B. made a cut & advertised it"!!! But yeah besides that, Marley did produce this remix version soley for the Paid In Full album.

[jemiedub]

@RJota15

nope eric b. but marley is on the record credits as mixer

[BackwordsHipHop]

@jemiedub It is marly marl beat.

[jemiedub]

i think marley has made the whole beat and the scratching is by eric b.

[ReALiTeeChEkk]

Soulja Boy : "check out my bitches ! "....... fuck u and your ugly bitches

Lil Wayne : "check out my money ! ".......stick your money up your gay ass

Rakim : "Check Out My Melody"...... over 20 years later and we still do

[UnpredictabIy]

@ReALiTeeChEkk i would of liked that if it WASNT homophobic...

[ReALiTeeChEkk]

@UnpredictabIy , "faggot ass", "queer ass", i would say that's homophobic. But i dont see how "gay ass" can be considered homophobic. Are gay people now offended by the word "gay" ?

[UnpredictabIy]

@ReALiTeeChEkk I'm not gay I have a gay brother. I don't see how rap could be considered gay ass rap. Like what? Idgaf anyway bro

[ReALiTeeChEkk]

@UnpredictabIy, i didnt say anything about gay ass rap. ? i called Lil Wayne a gay ass. It doesnt make much sense to say u didnt like my comment cause it was homophobic then turn around and say idgaf. But whatever.

[xxMW3xxFTWxx]

@UnpredictabIy Me too.

[EDOGZ818]

@ReALiTeeChEkk "My name is Rakim Allah, and R and A stands for Ra

Switch it around, it still comes out R

.................

I wouldn't a came and said my name and run same weak shit

Puttin' blurbs and slurs and words that don't fit"

Pretty much summed it up 20+? Yrs ago with those lyrics

[dj4562010]

The only song that comes close to this as far as lyrics and flow is it aint hard to tell by Nas..

[TheEbucks123]

@dj4562010 Same with Shallow Days by Blackalicious

[dj4562010]

i think the sample is from the movie A FIST FULL OF DOLLARS or THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE UGLY one of those Clint Eastwood western movies....

[dahsick3st]

[easternhero255]

"From century to century, you remember me in history not a mystery or a memory." -Follow the leader.

Rakim is nothing short of a lyrical genius.

[tmito18]

[wolverine668]

50 Cent compares to Rakim.

[wickbush]

[75samuel75]

Rakim, the greatest MC to ever hold a mic. I've loved their records for 20+ yrs and I'll never stop. It's a shame what has happened to hiphop.
