[MrJazzHOP]

Need proof that Rakim is the jewel in the crown of Hip-Hop, look no further than this. The brother had lyricism and melodic flow - still has it. God MC, always and forever.

[WashMyBeamer]

[The12Jacob]

@MrJazzHOP I'd agree to an extent Ra may be better than Nas, but the 18th letter is not better than Illmatic.

[Young21239]

[Mrtruthfulspeaks]

rakim is the coolest rapper no doubt if u need a reason i will give u one right now

" his lyrics are so deep and his flow is unique he does not need a beat for u to hear him speak "

damn rakim is so good at what he does ive subliminally wrote a little rap just trying to praise him

[JessicaLove1979]

[Kostizzle95]

[mercedesbs]

haha thats sick hes got the mercedes insignia on his jacket

[BillyCorganlikespie]

How could hip-hop go form this to 50 cent? I suppose it's the same as going from Nirvana to papa roach

[ramirosan145]

@BillyCorganlikespie hahaha! true! BROOOKKEEEENNN HOOOOMMMMEEEEEE!!!

[JiMMyJaM08061991]

@BillyCorganlikespie da fuck u talkin bout 50 cents gangsta rap hows it any worse than cube or easy e

[JiMMyJaM08061991]

@JiMMyJaM08061991 ad also rakim was the only dude rhyming like this so dnt say "hip hop used to be so great" using this dude as a fucking example, this shit is from when gangsta rap was big and lyrics were simple as fuck.

[BillyCorganlikespie]

@JiMMyJaM08061991 Ok well first off eazy and cube are significantly better than 50. Let's be honest 50 Cent is a shit rapper. And second 50 Cent is just a copy cat, when NWA started it was fresh and different, but they said all that needed to be said in gansta rap. 50 Cent is just cashing in on that bullshit, it's nothing new or original.

[JiMMyJaM08061991]

@BillyCorganlikespie urtalkingouturass,if 50 wasoutinthe 90s ud becallin him a legend too.

[JiMMyJaM08061991]

@BillyCorganlikespie and syain easy is better isnt tht true either considerin he used ghost wrtiers.

[Blumby00472]

I got the chills because of how good that was.

[EroSennin6669]

0 dislikes. The way it should be.

[321nehe]

Dopiest MC of all time. The GOAT of all MC's. His flow is immersive and flows like water. Best MC's= 1) Rakim 2) Big Daddy Kane 3) Kool G 4) Kool Moe Dee 5) Krs 6) Nas

[Xbox360Gamerization]

@321nehe you forgot Big L

[Melaku85]

@Xbox360Gamerization Big L was dope but in that mc list, who could he even replace?

[Melaku85]

@321nehe Flawless list Yo

[Xbox360Gamerization]

@321nehe make number 7 big L

[TheFakeAssGangsta1]

I heard his sick skills are illegal in 6 different States.......

[EazyE275]

RESPECT.

Best MC of all time.

[Sirgreaseflick]

Empirical straight-off the dome DOPE-MATIC...Rakim is GOD; he's the zenith, the peak, the high-arching lyricist. Peerless delivery, Ra's style makes any comparison to Nas a moot point: Nas does not have the flow, the inner-eye philosophical stamina to out-verse the R on even his most inspiring day. Moreover, Rakim makes it sound effortless; he's street-wise, strand-up in every way. There's no bigger thief than a bad rap, and whatever Rakim touches is solid gold. Flow Forever

[BiggieSmalls11111]

@Sirgreaseflick this is an incredible freestyle....but it isnt off the dome i dont know where you got that random statement from...its from the punisher...he just freestyled it here...

[JiMMyJaM08061991]

@Sirgreaseflick this aint off the dome

[bananymous1]

SICK

[JuliousMcNeese]

The Punisher

[DOCTOROFLUVV88]

NO fucken wayyy... This version is sick... Rakim- the originator of similies and metaphors...and personification...

Best.

Period.

[miamimagicians]

@DOCTOROFLUVV88 And he rarely curses or says the N word. Just pure lyrics.

[herokid1995]

this is the punisher from dont sweat the technique

[mutedmakequiet]

this is genius..I wouldn't say dark lyrics, like Rakim said once, its all trips through the mind, not actual violence.

[Zebisfrench]

Dark lyrics
