Agelessly dope, fluidly incomparable, many may follow but the Leader leads. The "R" endures, eclipses those who dare to go off-the-dome...I have witnessed his freestyle devastation, words just drop from his brain to his tongue like a gumball machine. Oldschool, Newschool, this Brother is not just in Class, he's teaching it: Doctorate in Hip-Hop, Dr Rakim is the George Wahington of Mount Rushmore in this game - difference is, his profile cuts a better visage. Flow forever my man

@23Tavarez Well said, I've been telling people that for years, which I've gotten tired of repeating & debating about who the best are I've never understood why practically. everyone says big & pac were the best ever. BULLSHT! They were way far from it. They were all hype. Regardless of order, my top three are RAKIM, BIG DADDY KANE, & KOOL G. RAP! Real True Legends of Hip-Hop!

@kahorepohaka Love that your givin a nod to Phife here, but Posdnous is the best lyricist from the native tongues. Pharoahe Monche, Aesop Rock, Azeem are 3 im my top 10. Couldn't agree with you more on Kool G Rap and Rakim though, Legends!

To appreciate Rakim you have to look at the time period he rhymed in. He came in the era when you had to be a true lyricist and he stood out among the best in the history of hip hop.
weres rakim today?
