Rakim's legend comes from drug dealers who made big $ bettin on Ra in battles. Rakim never lost one battle, the famous 7 emcees line came from a battle with Melle Mel, the only rapper that has a chance against him is G.

[FLASHBLAK]

Rakim is a true legend, he was crowned king by the people during a time when true MC'S roamed the land, not Kane or anybody else will ever be able to change that! Everyone cant claim that.

I like Rakim as much as i like Bumpy Knuckles, They're the illest mcs out there in my opinion.

It's hard to say who's ever nicer. Rakim and Foxx = apples and chinese food. They're two different animals. Ra spends his focus time on his message and the mathematics of his music...he's more like a prophet or a teacher. I wouldn't even want to see him battle...it's like lowering his level to fight klub or whatever. There's just "shop talk" going on...Ra is one of my 3 favorites YET, just my humble 2 cents. Mad people from my city don't even know Foxx

when I heard the king is down I was so disappointed

[onblock7]

@Jahrass7 He has an opinion, but lyrically he is still way nicer than Foxxxx, Foxxx is cool but not near Ra's level.

[onblock7]

@bigpotent This, I agree fully there. Rakim is ten times better than Foxxx anyday.

[bigpotent]

foxx nice but not that nice. I have heard him deliver subpar lines. I have heard ra with a subpar song but never with a subpar rhyme not once

[reggiemunch]

@Jahrass7 BEYOND THAT OBSERVATION-DON'T SWEAT THE TECHNIQUE HASN'T AS POWERFUL AS ITS PRIORS WHICH FEATURED BOTH INDIVIDUALS!!! SO TECHNICALLY THTAT'S NOT CONCRETE. WHEN WAS BRO FOXXX EVER HONORED? WHEN AND WHERE DIRECT ME TO THAT POSTING.IT SMELLS LIKE SOME ENVY BECAUSE ON A GREAT DAY IN HIPHOP WITH THE TWO OF THEM PRESENT BUMPY WASN'T CITED AS A GREAT ENTITY!!!(real-talk)

[reggiemunch]

@visionkingdom I CONCUR- I THINK IS A RESULT OF A JEALOUS UNDERTONE! DESPITE FOXXX'S OPINION IT'S STILL IRRELEVANT! RA IS RA AND FOXXX IS REALLY SUBORDINATE IN COMPARISON! A LOT OF ARTISTS HAVE HAD TO REROUTE =MIKE JACKSON DID IT WITH BLOOD ON THE DANCEFLOOR. ENVY IS AN UGLY NEMESIS. HATE ALWAYS WANTS POSESS GREAT. IT'S ABOUT HONING YOUR CRAFT NOT APPEARING TO A LAUGH!!!
