  • @gobenhopper..me too bro. I am glad Rakim isn't working with him anymore. East coast cats selling their souls for the sake of money. Rakim has never been like that. he doesn't have a bunch of guest rappers on his cd either. he is striahgt underground hip hop and he believes in staying true his east coast sound and staying lyrical, not about shooting and killing cats. He is a true hip hop cat. I thank God he went back to NY and will stick to what has ALWAYS worked for him. Blessings...

  • I'm glad Rakim stopped workin with Dre. Why? Cause, it proves you can't buy Rakim. He ain't no sellout & it's a shame ppl only like his shit more when he cuss. lol More views per vid/song with Rakim. Just the facts. Take a trip thru YT to see what I mean. His deepest hits got some of the lowest views. That says more about the listener than it does about the artist. I for one, am glad Rakim stuck to his guns. Word.

  • goddamn, this song is so chill yet so real

  • If your a real and old school hiphop fan you will respect what i do..True NewYorkCity hiphop..check my channel respect real hiphop..Peace..Al Niks..1000

  • @niksugphiphop Liked it homie nice work!!!! Im a rapper too you can check mine too !!!!

  • @gobenhopper /end

  • @gobenhopper #

    my favorite rappers favorite rapper is krayzie bone :P

  • This is some Good Shit. IS there more out there? Definitely steps ahead.

  • what that mixtape download link?

  • sampled from Busta's "Legend of the fall ofs" amazing

  • @fanaticbeatz Naw homie this is from RAs album..he had the beat 1st...busta version is wack.

  • @hempside lol its far from wack 

  • @TheKrontzificationer I really rate and respect Red and Meth so yeah chuck them in aswell homie

  • He seem like he didn't really want to do it.

  • this is a good joint. Rakim one of the greatest and most influential dudes to ever pick up the mic! Real talk

  • Comment removed

  • but you can tell that Rakim is having problems keeping up with the beat . cause his style is so layed back but with a new york beat he could play that shit more smother

  • @free2mention negative..the beat is on time..lyrics on point and the flow...dre just fumbled the ball thats all.

  • Genius. I need to find an HQ copy of this.

  • Comment removed

  • really wish that dre and rakim album happened, would have been awesome

  • 2:54 Its Another Exclusive Joint With The Bomb-Squad, One, Two, One Two, Alright, Hip-Hop In All Beat, Know That... Man, I love that part, could anyone say me if thats a song or tell me what beat is it?

  • @TonyMontana9200 smoking weed 4hours is the tune

  • @allyroxy1 Yeah! Thanks man, Very Grateful !!

  • It's evil and the beat is straight west coast... I like it. Props to Ra and Dre

  • my third eye , give me a bird eye view

  • Dr Dre could of made Ra into a big star like 50, em and pac! I know Rakim doesn't wanna go mainstream, but i think he deserves too because most people I talk too have never heard of Rakim. I hadn't until I began researching hip hop a couple of years ago

  • The ideal Rakim album should only feature four producers: Dr. Dre, Dj Premier, Pete Rock and of course Eric B. !

  • Dre gave a version of this beat to Busta Rhymes ... Legend of the Fall offs I think.

  • do u ever think what life would be where u will go after u die ???? hahahah

  • OMG WTF Was Dre thinking? letting Rah bounce! Dam Dre you lost mad cool points for not wanting to broaden your horizons & experimenting with what Rah is known for! THE MICROPHONE FIEND RAKIM SPREAD THE WORD!

  • Comment removed

  • @NatButtaBrotha They didn't mix well

    Rakim wanted to do a track a certain way & Dre wanted him do it his way.

  • @NatButtaBrotha Ra lost by leaving.. this song here proves it cause its 200% better then anything off of the 7th seal

  • damnnnnnnnnn!!!!

  • man, how many times they use that sample from dre!

  • na man Biggie ma man too the best rapper but 2pac was the illest hit em up was and still the dengerous diss 

  • haha fucking good song clssic beee i dont think people rly know about this song or rakim=)

  • respect

  • does anyone know what the original sample is?

  • i really wonder what happened between rakim and dre? i mean everyone hears what happened but what happened between these two great minds? i think we will never really know???

  • @jessemp3 they couldnt agree on things like dre wanted to make a song about killing someone and rakim wanted the opposite...theres a vid of rakim explaining

  • damn rakim need to get more beats like this.

  • Mann.... Dre recycling. Beat used wit Eminem I think. It soundz pretty similar to Criminal. Plus Criminal is way better than this beat. Don't re-make a beat if you ain't gonna flip it and make it better. and the hook was on a Busta Rhymez hook, Legends of the fall offs. I dunno if this track gonna be on Detox or not, but I don't think Detox is gonna be that good. I know for a fact it is NOT gonna top chronic 01. Impossible, expecially since every1 is outta there prime.

  • @detroitMC313 this song is not on detox and eminem did the criminal beat IDIOT

  • @yaddadaman .... Alright I waz wrong about who produced the Criminal track but I still made a valid point. So Dre sat there, took Em's beat, Busta's chorus and put Rakim on the track. You're right, this track is very original in Dre's part. I wish I waz az smart az you.

  • This collabo would've been hot. But Dre' wanted to turn the God into a Gangsta......Nah. Still a hot cut though.

  • YEAH DRE PLAYED HIMSELF SMH

  • Same beat from one of Eminem`s songs...still hot though

  • wich one ?

  • `Criminal`

  • @amck72 eminem did the criminal beat ya dope

  • @yaddadaman So you are saying you agree to my earlier comments ?

Em aint even in my top 50 - he'd get merc'd out by ANY of these emceez & shit wouldn't even be a contest. So would 50, uhh, wait: Jada already did that. So did Nas - & Jay got him in 1 bar.
  • how you not gonna put Big L or Kool G Rap on ya list...they 2 of da greatest if not da 2 greatest rapperz of all time...and all y'all backpackin' ass niggaz put Guru on ya list when he'z really wack as fuck wit'out Premo on da beats...holla...

  • Em got Hov on Renegade

    Em is maybe better on Dead wrong, thats questionable

    He got Jada on Welcome to D-Block.

    Em top 3

  • 1. Tupac 2. Lupe fiasco 3. Nas 4. Biggie 5. Immortal technique 6. Mobb deep ( Also tied with GZA ) 7. Old 50 cent ( Power of the dollar album ) 8. Tupac's outlawz ( Napoleon, kadafi etc. ) 9. Old Jay-z 10. Ice cube, eminem, snoop dogg, dr dre. This list has the best lyricists who are alive and have ever lived.
  • what about DMX

  • a top 10 list without eazy-e? thats a shame, man

  • 1. eminem

    2. 2pac

    3. biggie

    4. dmx

    5. rakim

    6. nas

    7. the game

    8. big l

    9. prodigy

    10. big pun

  • @TsideKing the game is wack n fake get him off yatop ten

  • MC: Rakim, 2pac, Andre3000, KRS-1, Nas, Raekwon

    Production: Dr. Dre, RZA, J Dilla, Marley Marl

  • yeh he probably would but in my opinion biggie had better rhymes

  • top 10 rappers of all time 1. 2Pac 2. Biggie 3. dr dre 4. rakim 5. nas 6. krs one 7. the game 8. ice cube 9. eminem 10. big pun
  • dre is good producer but not rapper

  • Dr Dre before Rakim?? He doesn't even write himself. The majority of your list is terrible, i'd only keep 3 in it, possibly 4 In No Order: 1. Pharoahe Monch 2. Immortal Technique. 3. GZA 4. Canibus. 5. Rakim. 6. KRS 7. Guru. 8. Nas 9. Inspectah Deck 10. Who cares, you probably stopped reading.
  • maybe the whole dre thing wasnt a good idea, but the rest on my list are sum good rappers, they all have or had a lot of success in their lives.

  • worse list ever,a top 10 list without. Ice Cube, pac or coolio

  • hahahaha, i could understand about Pac, i left 10 blank so would probably throw him in, Cube was a decent rapper but not in my top 10 but Coolio??

    he raped a stevie wonder chorus and had 1 decent song off it.

  • have you heard "my soul", "I remember", "Fantastic Voyage", "See you when you get there", "too hot", "mama im in love with a gangsta" etc... he got tons of good soongs, he's just underrated and not known, gangsta's paradise just shadowed his other songs!

  • i can't say i've heard the majority of the songs you mentioned, but in the same way, you're discrediting the people in my list coz if you check out their tracks and listen to the lyricism and concepts. you'll see that they deserve to be in the top 10, if not in it, at least close to it. They are just my personal favourite MC's who i admire and respect.

  • come on homie Ice cube would kill biggie in a battle u trippn

  • Rakim is a fucking GOD! Learn to recognize! Pac anit got shit on Ra.

  • dre icecube 2pac rakim biggie best rappers fuck jay z

  • you forgot the game. ad jay-z old stuff was good hes just went off the rails with his new shit

  • jay z over rated nigga

  • hey bigT429 fuck u 2PAC is the RAPE MASTER the MASTER hes THE real thing THE THUG Fuck rakim.....Rakim is nothing infront of 2pac

  • dre lost big when he let ra go..

  • @asouthernlife he let rakim go because rakim is real , and they very different..

  • Dre and Rakim are a fucking deadly weapon...

    man if they started working together back then man they would be running hip hop..

    and hip hop would still be what it used to be..

  • if only rakim were still on the aftermath the game would be so different, just imagine dr. dre, rakim, and eminem

    the greatest together on the same label imagine that

    plus 50 cent, the game and bishop lamont

  • I cant comment on this i ll let tha RA speak

  • i just discovered why everybody has that admiration for rakim :s

  • sickkkkk!

  • rakim the master on the mic no other hip hop artist compares nope not 2pac nope not biggie nope no one... cant wait for the new album

  • Dre needs to drop Detox ASAP and Rakim needs to drop The Seventh seal

  • i would still rather hear the r on a primo track. i think we all can agree on that. dre and rakim don't mix.

  • Rakim can rip any beat, and any beat Dre makes is rippable. I think they mix perfectly.

  • aiyo,anyone know the tracklist of this mixtape???

  • THE R IS THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME

  • can't seem to find an uninterupted version of this!!

  • there was one up on youtube before, got taken down.

    the intro on this is the same intro to one of the stat quo songs.

  • Also, this track was originally a pure Rakim track. . . was supposed to be on his album Dre had lined up back in 2001.

  • limewire

  • war was the best movie ever

  • isnt this from the movie The Rescuers

  • The rakim beat after you die is featured in the movie "War" during the end credits, but only as an "instrumental" version.

    The Beat is "stolen" from a older rap song.. also featured on youtube, but cnat for the life of me remember what it was called... sorry

  • Not stolen, probably just used the same sample.

  • The woman singing the ' After you die ' etc was originally in Busta Rhymes ' Legends of the fall offs ' class song, but i'm not sure about the beat quality tho !

  • The woman singing the ' After you die ' etc was originally in Busta Rhymes ' Legends of the fall offs ' class song, but i'm not sure about the beat quality tho !

  • its the other way around, this came out waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay b4 the big bang

  • True. Son here got it twisted.

  • chea dre g-unit
