U know what's funny? Back them old heads looked at hip hop as bad music, hell a lotta people did! But now that u look back,compared to half of today's rap, old school hip hop was the most positive hip hop!
The most awesome thing about Rakim was even tho he was the voice, he always made sure Eric B. was in his rhymes. The R is all about loyalty, inner strength and positivity. Some thing "crap rap" lost along time ago. I'm an old school hip hop historian so feel free to pick my brain.
wow! timeless classic! I hardly like any rapp anymore but this n the d.o.c. is still cool..gonna search too short next lol....just in a weird mood, went to AZ to see my old best ffriend from Tonawanda NY, I moved to Ohio he moved to AZ..anyways, been thinkin high school all week!lol
It is called Eric B Is President. make em clap is automatic tho. Summertime in the pjs man. damn is wild how u can never go back. just reminisce. that's good enuff for me
first listen to rick ross or lil wayne...then after when you hear one of there songs, now play Eric B. & Rakim,Krs-One,EPMD,Etc.......THERES A FUCKING BIG DIFFERENCE!
for all you true music lovers... if you dig this one as much as i do, check out funky president by James Brown. big ups to all yall who used to throw down the cardboard and battle other crews to this joint!
we set an example in memphis we bought this cd gold rope chains gazells n three lines on da side we got talked bout so bad in skool but the nxt year party like a rock star song cam out all of a sudden the way we dressed being lame bkam wats in smh blac ppl
Paid In Full was the only album that Eric B. & Rakim did good, the rest that followed sucked ass! If you think that Rakim rocks it good here check out EZB and DJ Los "Untouchable" album of 1988... now there's some freakin' talent!
wow! i use to rock to this tune back in the days in brooklyn it was awesome these were the best years of my childhood days gone but not forgotton R.I.P ERIC XX
u need food to eat up,im steaming,like im dreaming on the couch with my feet up, u scream im lazy, u must be crazy,she thought i was a donut,she tried to glaze me...lol this shit NEVER GET OLD,...that original,...poetry if u ask me
man, what fucken idiots gave them two thumbs down? obviously dont know what hip hop is... im born and raised from south central L.A, but grew up off east coast shit..dmc, LL, fat boys, big daddy kane, slick rick, dana dane ect... i feel in luv with rakim when i first heard him. got mad lyrics.... way before his time!!
he is da best lyrically of all time then biggie we have a lot of tight mc's scareface, j z, naz, t.i, method, & wu best kept secret killa preist i cant on a blk man gettin $ hustling but 90% of da new shit iz sum shit i cant put dat junk n my earz all da lil waynes gooci to me its mor den ryhmes & punchlines nobody talkin bout issues anymo so now i only listen 2 artist on my label cause itz real i hear wut dey say & i kno dem itz real youtube gfellaz,- dc soulchild mustafa,& drama city born
Rakim is called the GOD MC for a reason = he's always been waaaaaay ahead of his time. Surpasses Nas, Ras Kass, Pharoah Monch, Gza, Kane, G Rap, KRS.............he's idolized by Kurupt to Nas to Big Pun to Jay Z to 2pac....
GOD MC: Thank u for forever raising the lyrical bar to unfathomable heights that all these "rappers" can never touch!
The GOD!!!! Rakim will be forever the best rapper alive!!!!!!!!!!!! even jay z admitted...Rakim cant be touch ,even now........anybody who knows history of rap...Rakim will always be known as "GOD"...bow you sucker mc's!!
i gonna kick some shit real quick while i listen 2 this i must dropping rhymes like a scientist i'm 2 equiped fuck the mainstream kickin old school like eric b and rakim as i have the cuts like make em clap 2 this 2 sick i have 2 focus with my double vision castin out the bait as if i was fishin wishin hip hop will come back again but just listen wat i got 2 spit with verbal lyrics 2 demolish wack mc's they need a lesson as i'm out because i got forward progression
I remember back in the day in east new york brooklyn when they rob you for your sneakers sheep skin coats anything they wanted, or just shoot you bacause stepped on there sneaker. in the 75pct on sutter ave there was a homicide every 22 minutes
You cant say that because I was born 1992 and I Had to earn my respect around here in NY and im just 16, I guarantee If I was born in like 1972 I would make it . ANd I would have probably been born in South Side Jamaica Queens cuz I used to live there, and I would of had to deal wit Fat Cat and the Supreme Team
i remember when cats had to earn the RIGHT to come outside dressed like this. nowadays any asshole, punk ass, half homo can walk around playin thug and never ever ever get checked. youngins you better thank god that you were born when you were cause a LOT of you wouldnt make it
damn b you broke it down, like my man above said it. NYC in the early 80's was no joke. I don't know about the 70's since I was too young to remember now. I am 39 and things are so much easier for these niggas now.
