Rakim The 18th letter HD

What, uhh, yo
Just when things seemed the same, and the whole scene is lame
I come and reign with the unexplained for the brains till things change
They strain to slang sling, Im trained to bring game
History that I arranged been regained by king james
Go to practice, with tactics, when the track hits, theatrics
Women that look like actress the status of cleopatras
Stacks of mathematics took the ? ego-a-geatics?
As I find out, what the facts is, for geographic
No time to sip mos with hostess, never mind what the total gross is
I rip shows, stay focused, and split cheese, with soldiers
While you hit trees and coast I spit flows that be ferocious
And with these explosives, I split seas for moses
Shine permanently only my minds concernin me
Fire burns in me eternally times eternity
Followers turn on me theyll be in a mental infirmary
Determinely advance technology better than germany
Since the first days you know of, till the last days is over
I was always the flow-er, 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, to graffiti painted pictures
I study I know the scriptures but nowaday aint it vicious
Date back I go beyond check the holy quran
To speeches at the altar on, now we get our party on
So being benificent, I bless em with dialogue
They expectin, the next testament by the god
I blow em through battlezones with chrome for chaperone
Blast beats with saxophones one of the baddest rappers known
Every country city and borough, sidestreet and ghetto
Isle and alley and meadow theories ferile enough to echo
When it was one mass of land, with one nash of man
And the whole mass was ran under one master plan
Since the worlds metamorphis, and the plan is kept in orbit
Turntables we spin off but the needles never skip off it
Rhythms we expressin similar to our ancestors
Itll answer your questions if you understand the message
From the days of the slave choppers? , to the new age of prophets
As heavy as hip-hop is Im always ready to drop it
From the mind which is one of allahs best designs
And minesll stand the test of time, when I rhyme

The 18th letter, the prophesy professor
I stay clever, long as the planet stay together
Bring up praise from mecca, make a phrase for the better
In new days to remember, always and forever
(repeat 2x)

the R BABY

SHIIITTTTT nigga R jus keep flowin

[GozerTheGozerian]

@kaoss0515 Yes but hip hop is no longer on this type of shit. A kid like Soulja Boy would not even understand these rhymes, let alone possess the skill to flow like water over a beat like this. And today's rap stars have NO RESPECT for the hip hop pioneers who made their careers possible.

Also, notice the beat: rhythmic low end, powerful kicks, resounding snares and soulful samples that work together to build a mood. This type of beat is no longer appreciated in the mainstream.

A blackman, a hip hop pioneer, a traveler of rhymes, the god of rap, one of the most origiNAL MCs, the heavywieght champion, R-A-K-I-M

The God MC

[MrJazzHOP]

What a way to begin an album! This joint is the measuring stick as far as method and content co-existing so perfectly together. Damn, Rakim is a sick brother. His flow and lyrical patterns are untouchable. Forget Nas, this cat blends words and phrases with surgical precision. Fucking bananas!!!
