  • eminem is an mc

    biggie was an mc

    lil wayne is a rapper

  • uhhh sorry Raekwon but u are nothing like Rakim.

  • @BigBlackRod THANKYOU AN ORGASMIC SOUNDING THANKYOU!!!!...im sorry i know that was highly inappropriate and very awkward but thats how I also feel about the situation....

  • Rakim is lyricly untouchable.period BIIIIIIIIIIIITCH ;-)

  • this aint "The MC DVD" - its "The Art of 16 Bars"

  • Awesome. Much props to Rakim and Eric B. Old school hip hop for life.

  • BigBlackRod, couldn't agree more! Rakim is peerless in his flow, many may follow, but The "R" will always lead. This brother is off-the-dome DOPE; one can only hope that Rakim's proud visage will be carved into a Rushmore-sized wall of granite: he has truly reached the zenith of Hip-Hop...in fact, God said: "Let there be Hip-hop, and then there was Rakim". His joints are still faultless; I get up in the morning, zip-up my jacket, put phones on my dome and bump to the "R": Flow forever!

  • 66666

  • I liked the part at the end with Raekwon,

    "He was a grown man at a young age. He came with style, he came with intelligence...that's how I am, you know?"

    haha rae's the man

  • Follow the Leader - It doensn't get any better!!

  • This video is really entertaining, basically saying that everyone is a dumb ass and Rakim was smart. Seriously read between the lines when you watch this video.

    Quotes from the video: heard after 0:27

    "Just being able to put the words together that he put together, and rap on such a knowledgeable level. Not really cursin' & not really talkin' about certain stuff and being able to put stuff together on a level where the streets were coming through"

  • Whats this documentary called?

  • "I aint no joke, I used to let the mic smoke/

    Now I slam it on the ground and make sure its broke" -Rakim

    That song STILL makes me wanna go buck wild. And the beat is BANANAS! Eric B & Rakim = Living Legends.

  • notice how when the beat is playing anything they say (not rapping) flows...

  • Ra's the microphone King!

  • I always thought he was sooooo fine!

  • I'm about to pick up rakim in my limo in minneapolis at best buy hq

  • The Best Ever

  • Rakim is Hip Hop's Ali, Hendrix, and Sammy Davis Jr.

    LEGEND!

  • these new cats need to take a lesson from Rakim. Anybody can make words rhyme, Rakim can make those words flow to another level.

  • Rakim is King

    The most talented lyricist of all time

  • I agree of all time.

  • "That's how I am, you know?" Haha! Rakewon, you cocky motherfucker!

  • I love Biggie, I love Pac, but, on the Mount Rushmore of hip hop's greatest MC's, the George Washington space goes to this man. That he cannot sell today is one of the most damning indictments yet on the lack of culture today...PEACE.

  • Chu-uuuuch nigguh! Well said - really felt that son

  • "Time to get back to the essence, there's a lot to learn so I studied my lesssons". These lessons are given to the registered members of the Nation of Islam. Come on in!

    i made a chart and gave points for invetions in rap technique, lyrics, numbers of records and how long they are on the scene.

    my favorite rap song is "dont sweat the technique"

  • Wow, #2 behind Kool Keith? I'm not too sure about that, but it's all good...everyone is entitled to their own list, me myself...I got Rakim #1, KRS-ONE #2....LONG LIVE REAL HIP HOP!!!!!

  • masta ace, rakim, slim shady, guru, hmm those imo are the best rappers atm... tho eminem only makes crap musik now sins the wanted to play with 50 cent..

  • The only way to hack yahoo, msn, gmail user password buyhack dot org

  • I don't give a fuck what anybody says screw Jay-Z screw fity cent screw them all Rakim is brilliant a genius a poet them man is a teacher for those who listen. His metafors are just brilliant I am passionate about him because he is just brilliant and the reason I began to enjoy hip-hop actually the only reason, I heard him for the first time on the radio in new york before then I thought rap was crap but I heard I ain't no Joke and all that changed the way I saw hip-hop.

  • Hip -Hop 4 ever.

  • Genuine rap/hip hop.

  • Too many documentaries look the same.

    By the way, is Rakim #1?

  • Without a doubt..."Who's number 1? If not Best, than better? Here's a hint the 18th Letter!"

  • This man takes the english language and uses it in a way that nobody else can match I really don't give a f if Jay-Z does not write his stupid lyrics Rakim kicks his ass when it comes to lyrical genius.

  • I am not meaning to be rude I just wondered are you asking if he is #1? I mean to me he will always be #1 he is a teacher just brilliant like a diamond only more shine I love Rakim to death! But I thought the beats he and Eric B. did were fucking brilliant I miss them together.

  • Man,...if you really knew SOMETHING from Rakim,...then you should know THE 18TH LETTER.

    If he is really your #1 then youd better listen to the lyrics.

    "Follow the leader is the title, theme, task

    Now ya know, you dont have to ask"

  • HEY YOUTUBE ADMINISTRATORS!,...

    When I reply to someone,...I want to be placed underneath the one I replyed to!

    ...not on top of the list! pffft

    You need a GOOD scripter or something?... I am aplying!

    [ You may remove this comment completly ]

  • ...applying.d'oh!

  • I agree with you on that one also!!

  • I know this was written along time ago but you make a great point! I was looking at "comments" and I have to try and find my comment because they don't put them near each other it is really frustrating!

  • I know the name sounds like a man but I am a woman lol!! I didn't expect you to know that but of course I know the 18th letter and I love him because of his Lyrics, but if you think I missed something please tell me, I am passionate about Rakim to the point that I don't think ANYONE is more talented than him he is the reason I love hip-hop but it's his music that truly moves my soul you know what I mean??

  • LOL, it's all good "fruityblack" (lol)...I've been a fan of Ra's since he "came thru the door and said it before...." Rakim is the BEST ever to spit ryhmes thru the mic....

  • Sorry,...I love you :)

  • Rakim, true poet, true artist

  • Truly, the ultimate MC, Rakim.
