@NEW WORLD well this is not about white supremacy wtf? I dont think hip hop is about skin color, i disagree that you think i say em is goat cause of the industry says it. I am saying it. About rock genre I think Chuck B is Goat and beatles and the stones, but it is about each person opinion. Like I said I think em did everything to be a goat, a lot of songs with so many themes, his life, we can see him growing up as a person and dad and everything is reflected in his songs, all the connection between people and his art is amazing. Also his lyricism has evolved so much. He is in another level. He reaches technical perfection like old school rappers like rakim, jeru the damajah etc. He is surrounded by the best artists, idk man thats what i think, no need to get upset. Of course we can argue about lyricism between the R and Em cause they are fuckin insane, playing in other league you know. In th3 end is not about who is the best, just to enjoy and keep spreading hip hop culture and love.
Brian Dwi Em was certainly influenced by Rakim but his talent and rap skills are definitely better. Rakim is more like a poet while Em is an incredible lyricist and master the flow
hip hop is still alive, yall just gotta know how to dig. only difference is 20 years ago this shit was the mainstream shit, now its not. its still here, just not on the radio anymore.
It's the other way around big time dude nowadays there's plenty of rappers pulling crowds and selling records at a much bigger number then back in the day cod all the white kids listen to em the difference is back in the day they were actually good
When some people forget about who Rakim is, I want to tell them only one thing: Rakim is the idol of our idols. (Pac, Nas, Biggie, Eminem, Jay Z etc, etc ....). Roughly 80 percent of old school rappers learned to rhyme with Rakim.

Rakim invented rhyming. Before him it was jazz and just spitting lyrics. But he showed that there must be a flow and intellectualism to the verses. In simpler words, he thrashed old dated hip-hop and reinvented the genre as a whole new and paved the way for East Coast rap which was lyrically superior to West Coast.

One of, if not the greatest MC of all time. Rakim's story is a really interesting (and depressing) one of how despite possessing exceptional talent, the fact that he never "towed the line" and did what he was told so to speak, he never really hit the superstardom he deserved. This guy was held back by the record labels and it just goes to show that if you're not easily malleable and open to making manufactured crap, you might not make it all the way. Rakim did well anyway off of pure talent, but how many talented record artists have been forgotten in favour of the garbage that is pushed down our throats today?... The music industry is in a sad state...
Hip hop started as antithesis to pop culture, capitalist greed and marketing. It thrived on talent and minds kept out of mainstream success. That desperation and struggle made it relatable to common people. Now hip hop itself is a part of rich and lavish world that comes straight out of corporate board rooms and not from basement studio of some budding artist. At one point getting our of poverty and attaining lavish, materialist lifestyle was part of dream and narration of many rappers. Now its the only part that is left.
