@RichBlackman11....HOLY FUCKING SHIT BRO, I TOTALLY agree: THEE best line in rap history...he:s actually STUCK in between his lines: physically and mentally (actually not a bad place to be stuck) and he cant (literally) escape until he finishes his ryhme!!!!!!!!!!! I got chills.... fo rill
"I start to think...and then I sink...into the paper......like I was ink. When Im writin im trapped in between the lines, then I escape....when I finish my rhyme, I GOT SOUL... -rakim 1986
@1warriorclass1 Yeah Rakim is still at it, and like wine he gets better with time. You can find just about all his new stuff right here on Youtube,just rearch RAKIM.
@tacosaucemafia nahh bro rakim came out in 86 with that eric b is for president jam. get your knowledge up homie pe didnt come out until 87 or maybe late 86 but i know rakim came out first. even if he didnt chuck sampled his style of delivery theres no denying that
@goonerash you mean chuck d sounds like rakim. everybody stole his flow delivery and technique after this cd. this cd is the definition of epic for the hiphop community.
@thekillamc21 he wasnt saying rakim sounded like chuck he was saying the DJ at the begging that says "you think you know the origins of hip hop" and all that stuff sounds like chuck.
If anyone cares: White dude in white 86 Jetta with chrome wheels, with Kenwood and an equalizer and an amplifier and eight 6x9's rocking this until I had the whole flow down. Great stuff, thanks for the song fellas.
Okay, Okay !!!! First out yea it sounded like Chuck D, but to my defense when tou go back as far back as I do in HIP HOP you would know that once upon a time there was such thing as DJ's that would speak in a radio like voice when on the mic. Called a mic personality! So I apologize to Chuck D and the community for the mistake. Yea Im OLD LOL. I wasnt aware of the origin. SO that makes me the JACKASS. THX FOR THE RESPONSES . KEEP THE FABRIC ROUGH. PEEEEACE OUT FROM PATERSON NJ !!!!!
Fuck Lil Wayne Fuck Young Money Fuck Birdman Fuck Cash Money Fuck New Boyz Fuck Gucci mane Fuck Soulja Boy Fuck Roscoe Dash Fuck Cali Swag District Fuck Rick Ross Fuck Waka Flaka Flame Fuck Young Jeezy Fuck Lil Boosie Fuck Fabolous 80s and 90s hip hop forever. Even some early 2000s hip hop. Who do you think are the heroes of hip hop?

@superanimal3 I'm sorry but it's pretty arrogant to say that this stuff or the stuff that you listen to is 'real music' the people that like that kind of music are entitled to their opinion just like you are.
@anUHkins "drop the mic, you shouldn't be holding it. this is how it should be done" is sampled into "Reks - Say Goodnight" i really suggest you listen to it
@chrizles thanks for identifying that sample, although I was talking more about the background music, which I found out is a bobby Byrd/James Brown song by the same title.
One of the most used cuts in music in this Generation: "Pump up the volume" "When this is playing you cant get stuck with the step so to say & ima stilla cum up wit"
@pick8lock nah man the host of this radio station in GTA: San Andreas was Chuck D of Public Enemy. You can't even say he copies Rakim anyway, they're contemporaries.
