Rakim - Holy Are You Live [new music]

[MrJazzHOP]

Ah, man Rakim is the coolest Brother - talk about swag! Talk about fluidity on the mic, and incredible lyricism! He truly is the Ali of Hip-Hop: those who step get knocked the fuck out in the first round.

[mcteeosupreme]

Look how Ra just goes in on the mic. No stupid water bottle and towels and 150 other clowns on stage acting the fool. Take notes rappers and emcees. Learn stage presence from the Master...

[leoandpisces]

ALLAH BLESS YOU BROTHER

REAL HIP HOP ONLY WITH MUSLIMS THESE DAYS

RESPECT ISLAM

RESPECT RAKIM

RESPECT HIP HOP

[nonofyall]

Feels a little blad that a veteran of three generations got this weak ass crowd. This guy is suposed to have at least 40.000 people in his crowd.

[Freethinkersclubuk]

3 decades and his style stands as strong as steel, no MC alive can claim this. NONE!

[D201RECORDS]

[iJafa]

He's unleashing the Seventh Seal...

[Rapstarpoet]

you think its koo but really understand what hes talking about i mean really understand his lyrics and what he means

[siwooot]

@Rapstarpoet you don't understand what he's saying? maybe if you listen to the lyrics more or read some books or something.

[Rapstarpoet]

look dude im educated and i do read i also research things like this illuminati and secret societies and things about the devil and things about God im not stupid i know what he means ive been rapping for 12 years yo im 23 i know all styles i know how cats use lyrics to get what they want to say across thru symbolism and i know what he means and that straight up dont be fooled is all im saying

[siwooot]

oh i misread your comment, i thought you said you didn't understand his lyrics.

don't believe everything you read though

[ShazadeyKurdii]

this song is awesome

[superlyrical1987]

[Makadocious88]

Well the actual song leaked this year @ June or July i think, but i guess this was recorded last year

[NightScape18]

He walks onto that stage like a King getting out of the throne man! I can't wait to hear the new album!!!!!!

[musudi]

umbrellaseance greatest rapper alive youtube em

[akajess]

Rakim still got it ....

[pinkydidaladoo]

RAKIM:The seals are from the Bible- Revelations and the coming of the Apocalypse. But Islam, Judaism, Christianity: all have a version of the same events. The Lion of Judah breaks the seven seals one by one, each imparting knowledge and inflicting catastrophe, ending with seven trumpets announcing the end of Times. After the Apocalypse, God rises from the ashes to recreate the Kingdom, taking only the greatest elements from the past with them.

[pinkydidaladoo]

When you look at Hip-Hop, I want to do that: to spit fire and take our best from the ashes to build our kingdom; to recognize all the regional styles, conscious lyrics, the tracks, underground, mainstream, the way we treat each other. Lose the garbage and rebuild our scene. I've always tried to insert consciousness and spirituality in my records, interpreting the writings of all cultures and religions and how they apply to life in modern times.

[teeosupreme]

it's Revelation not Revelations.

[NightScape18]

The Seventh Seal is going to be an EPIC HIP HOP ALBUM! Well worth the 10 year wait. Rakim is still The Greatest!

[jhollo42]

It's all metaphors and simile, I don't think Rakim thinks he is greater than God. He isn't a dumb person, yes I'm sure he believes he is greater than all rappers out there, but the song is him talking about how he was the first tightest lyricist out there and how he came before all these other rappers. To all you taking it out of context, it's a SONG, a rap song. The only person that can rightfully judge a man is GOD. So all of you so called Christians that judge, read the Bible a little deeper.

[BigPreme74]

Rakim is 5%. 5% believe the Black man is a god (by nature) and the white man is the devil (by nature). They believe in the one God, Who created the heavens and the earth. But they believe that Allah created man with a divine nature, which makes him a lord on this earth IF he refines himself mentally, physically and spiritually. It says something similar in the Bible. And in the sayings of the prophet Muhammad, it says that if God made woman submit to anything other than himself it would be man.

[RealKing87]

"5% believe the Black man is a god (by nature) and the white man is the devil (by nature)"

What about Spanish people?

[mrmab19]

Spanish people range in color form very light brown and almost white to very dark brown and black...Black& Latino we are all one family,its just that the white man gave us different names to make us separated.

[BigPreme74]

Depends,

If you are a white hispanic then you would be grafted (Devil). If you are black hispanic or of mixed stock then you would be considered original or part original (god by nature).

This isn't to say white people can not be righteous.

[mrmab19]

As children of the most high we built pyramids,and accomplished great things.We once posessed godlike mental abilities..but we lost our divinity and forgot who we are. Psalm 82:6 tells you u are gods..Jesus told u that u are gods John 10:34

[MrMusa316]

Blessed is the reader Brother's. The Book says we are all made in His image.

[seckzmachine]

thers only 1 god.... and thats rakim allah

if u give ur life to jesus ur a fool ass sheep

[YoungBeliever777]

what a foolish mind you have!

[arana7]

INCREDIBLE.

[YoungBeliever777]

So foolish these rappers thinking they're a god. Theres only one true God Father son and holy Spirit 3 in one.

[Daydreamat420]

I don't think YoungBeliever777 gets the lyrics. Rakim is saying he is the GOD MC. The first and the last GOD MC. He uses words from the bible, but I don't think he is saying he is "God".

[YoungBeliever777]

he saying Jesus didn't walk on water. The whole song is blasphemy. The True God laughs at this kind of crap. hip hop is so much deeper than just music and entertainment, its demonic, do some research!

[Daydreamat420]

Do you see me on a Jesus website talking crap? Why do you think it is OK to come on this thread and talk crap about the artist? Why are you here? Your response doesn't follow the same topic. He is the God MC, not God. The water verse helps prove my point. The topic was if he was saying he is "God" or a "God MC". Hell to me.. People that think they are better than others for their beliefs, people that murder animals with no respect for other living beings on the planet and universe.

[YoungBeliever777]

all I'm saying is to do research on truth behind hip hop for your own soul brother! I don't want nobody to go to hell, but he or she who does not accept Jesus in thier heart will be the first ones to enter. I'm sure you know what Jesus did for you so you won't have to go there, so trust in the Lord your God and repent from your sin's I beg you!

[777ALLAH]

psalms 82-john 10v34 BLACKMAN IS GOD!!!777

[YoungBeliever777]

Think agian your just another unworthy person! Jesus still loves you!

[teeosupreme]

Which bible did you read this in? No version of the bible says this.

[LiesMakeBabyJesusCry]

You are in no position to say who will or won't enter hell, by doing so you are defying God; he is almighty and benevolent so he may forgive those you don't deem fit.

[YoungBeliever777]

The Bible tells us who will make it to heaven and who will not make it to heaven. Yes he is Almighty and Forgiving, but those who love themselfs or anyone else including your family more then God is not worthy of God. If you Loved people you'll warned them right. These rappers and fans hate God!

[LiesMakeBabyJesusCry]

You don't know if they love anyone else or themselves more than God and you can't treat the Bible as a handbook for who will or won't enter Heaven.

[FLOOD504]

Jesus Christ , It's just one fucking bar , get over it ..

[YoungBeliever777]

You wouldn't be alive if he was! kid

[GlowInTheDark707]

I am A football coach and give clinics as well as attend clinics to help coaches become better coaches. The Microphone Feind Rakim should hold a clinic for these so called emcees of today. This cat is the prototype for emcees. Ra set the bar so high back in the day that emcees are still trying to reach it.

He didn't give a name but if you want, you can call it "The God." At least, that's the name I was going to call it until I changed it just new music at the last minute ha.
