WHen rakim played "it's nothing", mannn this joint is classic
-
oh and and obviously Black Thought have you even heard 45 bars thats fucking crazy
-
one and two obviously biggie and pac? uhhh what? good music yes but in terms of technical profeciency nothing too special about either of them, Big Daddy Kane, KRS, early Snoop, hell even early Eminem is more impressive than either of them
-
For those who say they don't see anything unique about rakim... go listen to the actual songs and listen to the lyrics... he told truth, knowledge, and even more amazing he never cussed. One of the hardest sounding and best Mc's and never had to resort to vulgar language, Rakim is hands down top 3 to ever do it, 1,2 obviously biggie and pac, listen to artists today and see how many of his verses are referenced in current songs, hell even wu referenced his lyrics
-
Soooo true y'all!!!!
-
Sick.....
-
@h1ph0pjunk1e You can start with his lyrics ..
-
@MisterBings exactly. the name is Eric B. & Rakim. 90 % success came from that era.
-
There's a reason Black Thought is in so many of these "Honors" performances...he knows and appreciates the trailblazers that came before him, and is a true scholar of hip/hop. I hope they return the favor and honor Black Thought, Questo and the Roots some day.

Black Thought and Talib would have done anything to be hype men for Rakim and those are 2 of the best rappers ever. Rakim spit this fire in the 80's. God forever.
They should have honored Eric B with him. They did it together.
