  • hes the only rapper that uses a bunch of ebonics in regular speech then speaks perfect english in his raps

  • Yep, that's the old school mind set.

    I can be street on my spare time, but when i speak to the kids on record i have a social responsibility.

    Ever see the clip of him talking to Nas about beating people up in the street with a heavy gold medallion lol.

    But he is never going to advocate anything like that in a song because he knows his responsibility.

    it's the complete opposite of what rappers do now. They actually make up bad stuff they DIDN'T DO and put it in songs to give children.

  • I split seas For Moses Shine permanently Only my mind’s Concernin' me Fire burns in me Eternally Times Eternity Followers turn on me They’ll be in a mental infirmary Determinedly Advance technology Better than Germany Since the first days you know of Til the last days is over I was always the flower I made waves for Noah From a compound To the anatomy To the breakdown Of a atom Some of my rap patterns Still surround Saturn From the ancient hieroglyphics RAKIM 18th
  • He's the REALIST, ILLEST, off-the-hook DOPEST MC, ever to spit on the Mic. Absolute opium to the ears. Strap The "R" to your dome daily and you have just increased your I.Q by 70%. God said: "Let there be Hip-Hop", then there was Rakim. Flow forever, my brother!

  • Met this man last month , such a nice and real guy

  • "i hope the time that y'all waited is well compensated"...lol he rhymes without even tryin

  • lol old comment

  • Very smart man.

  • WORD!! mikar fone fiend RAKIM!

  • anyone ever notice that rakim spelled backwards is mikar? pronounced "my car"? dude is a genius at wordplay!

  • Rakim, Raekwon, Scaramanga with Pete Rock on the beat and engineered by DJ Quik. Let me wake the hell up! :-)
