A lot of the young cats don't know that he's referencing a lot of popular 80's movies in this track. The Re Animator, Lethal Weapon, Gremlins and Tales From The Darkside
Ladies&Gentlemen: you've just witnessed the greatest rapper ever - he changed the game. The list goes on as many rappers who wanted to be him. Even Will Smith tried to mimic him on the summertime track -->factz
No one can flow like him. I remember when they hit the airwaves back in the 80s. Loved Eric B. & Rakim from day one. Haven't heard anything like this again
@1:22 "I'll stop between each verse" ... I'm thinking, yeah you definitely haven't heard this song because Rakim goes straight through until the end... lol Good reaction!!
Rakim is my own personal GOAT his flow is unheard of even above Biggie, Nas or Em. The best part of hip hop is we may agree on 90% of the top 10 but so many will have different top 3's.
old school nyc 80s rap. you should check out some early beastie boys tracks as well, like: shadrach, paul revere, hold it now hit it, pass the mic, root down, sure shot, so whatcha want, brass monkey, intergalactic, shake your rump, high plains drifter, car thief, looking down the barrel of a gun, get it together, professor booty, the maestro, and on and on.
Just so u know this was also a Big Daddy Kane dis. Smooth Operater Operating Correctly, also the line i dont want to let off u didnt keep the stage "warn"( from warn it up kane ) so Step off (no half stepping).
I remember when it came out ..I had the subs kicking and the alpine stereo turned up..
All hail RAKIM ALLAH THE G.O.D MC and ERIC B THE LEGEND!!!
Every 80s kid knows every word of this song
let the rhythm hit em!.....a must

Follow the leader.
That part about "after 12 I'm worse than a gremlin". Is referring to a movie called The Gremlins. You weren't supposed to feed them after midnight.

LOL
One of the best to ever grace the mic. I used to watch this video back to back to back
