@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....
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!
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.
"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"
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.
"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!
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..
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.
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.
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....
eminem is an mc

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.
