Rakim = greatest rapper ever to pick up the mic

His flow is unparalleled

[MrJazzHOP]

Look, this is the inside scoop -and it's real talk. Brother Rakim had been flirting with Dre's production for quite a while on and off, but when it came to attempting to fuse the lyrical content of Ra's natural swag with a contemporised gangsterfied theme, Rakim dropped out - gracefully, no doubt! Dre had a vision of bringing "a new Rakim" to the "now generation". He said that. And with this comes a sense of "selling-out" to one's identity. Ra has maintained his integrity. Gotta respect that!

this video made me fall asleep for a second lol

[gapieo]

thank you rakim for staying real and not ba a little rat choosing sides .

being pure is being new going with dre is working for a museum

[cbanks360]

Rakim need to become "reborn" and get with the current generation... 1. Get with Dre, 2. Get power, 3. Get money, then teach again...

[Anubric]

@MrJazzHOP Na. That's just a shallow view. Being able to reach more, is always worth it. I mean... that's what It's supposed to be about.

[monstaslaya]

Don't hate on Rakim or Dre, they have creative differences, so they shouldn't work together. They are both good (Rakim more dope imo) so who cares?

[Pai001]

@FranciscoD0MING0 stop with this bullshit paranoid biz

[jiggamanbeon]

that how you hold the mic Shit Nigga take note nice Clear

[FranciscoD0MING0]

He left when Dr Gay attempted to perform sexual acts on him

[RokkaBeat514]

yo if you guys get a min check out our channel

[elektroindi]

Real talk man, Dre robbed niggaz of production credits. What more would you expect when a guy like Suge had his back. But he don't like it when it happens to him. DR DRE is a long time from Straight Outta Compton, Niggaz4Life and The Chronic. His new music is the weakest shit I ever heard. Case in point Crack a bottle for starters, goddamn that shit is wack.
