Unarguably one of the greatest Hip Hop Duos of all time!! - Every MC after Ra has stolen some of his style!! - He's sparked a buncha musical tributes where fellow Golden Era MC's have all paid homage!!....Respect!!!
you cannot compare lil wayne and rakim just like you cannot compare canned ravioli to cold cuts. it also makes no sense to validate fools in argument.
@TNice10693 , LoL crack must be 1 hell of a drug its causing you to say silly things like lil wayne is good & rakim is garbage! LoL please foolish one get off the bullshit
ok the 80's well no lets start at the beginning the late 70's thru the mid 90's brought us a pure raw ARTFORM of street poetry, it fought threw bans and censorship and all the negativity to reach the mainstream, it was intelligent and calculated.now something happened in the late 90's...
lazy ??? lack of education? not really sure...but now the is LIL WEEZY who sounds like his nuts are in a vise, SOLJA BOI who doesnt speak english and all the others, NEVER compare modern stage clowns to the great of the past EVER
Rakim Allah! Greatest MC ever! Period! Heads keep talkin bout Lil Wayne, and Drake. Put one of them against Rakim in a battle and see who wins. Rakim FTW
@251mandem i can dream about being the dopest mc in the world and b acknowledge by all but after all that daydreaming of making myself the best deep inside i will also know the god RAKIM would b much superior 2me in my own dreams lol, thats how untouchable he is!! peace
yo douche bag.just because u think this was ill back in tha day,doesnt make what u like today great.the fact that yur still repping this shit makes me believe u r knew to tha game.u need to respect yur elders.
LOL, don't feel bad man, its the same senario with me, I tell my friends what kind of mcs I listen to such as rakim & all that, & they don't have a clue about any of em!
the beat is rollin'! Man this track makes me hype. I've got another version of this song called Complicatem' (pass the handgrenade) Ne1 Familiar with that one?
I understand what you are saying. I never forgot infact I am kind of stubborn in thinking they are by far the best, the only I remember the first time I heard Paid in Full It was my first time in NY yea I was high but the song seemed to bring me out of the high I was just blown away at his voice the words the music it happened to be 1986 when it first came out!!! I wonder where people were when they first heard paid in full?? Rakim is brilliant he and eric b together were just amazing!!!
pass the hand grenade is what diss rap should be. He is dissin EVERYBODY without sayin anybodys name. These flows where meant to make BDK and KRS1 step up their game without dissin anybody. And they did, cause thats what hiphop was back then. SKILLS RULED! Gangsta rap is what stopped MCing! And i bought it to, so we can only blame ourselfs for its disappearance. Lil Wayne and Soulja boy are products of the system and cant be blamed for their lack of skills. Someones buying it! and alot of it!
When you pick up the mic to challenge Rakim it becomes a hand grenade, so you better keep away from it. Just pass it back to him.
"I filled the mic with explosives and lit it up, it got to heavy to hold he couldn't pick it up, pass the mic let him try to get paid, he hit the stage it went off like a hand grenade. Now scrape him off the floor and off my list, i aint a soloist i'm an arsonist" -Rakim, No Omega.
I just heard this song recently, And I love it. I'm a big Eric B. & Rakim fan, but i've never heard this song before in my life, I know all they other hits. This one is for anybody who think Lil Wayne is the "Best Rapper Alive". I like Wayne but, best alive!?! Listen to Rakim.
"please stop mentioning lil wayne" I totally agree. What's sad is that people are still doing that shit on every decent hip hop vid a year later, lol.
Yes Rakim kills this track but how bout some love for Eric B

@TNice10693 Does he suck because he doesnt sound like a lil bitch on the track?
Does he suck because he doesnt kiss men?
Does he suck because his lyrics are too conscious for your noggin to grasp?
Does he suck because he didnt come from "outer space"?
Ummm If you may plz explain why he sucks, you'd satisfy my curiosity:)
