Love Rakim, he's the Godfather of modern rap. Different era for sure this was the days of the DJ and turntable..but he was the first to use patterns and schemes like rappers do today. Big Daddy Kane right up there with him to. I'll dig up some links
Ooooh i love this elite legend . Absolutely love his flow..love your attention to detail . Love everything about this an your reaction thanku so much love an God bless always x
Yo honestly that was a proper review for once. Thanks bro. You let him rap, stopped at the right times. When you explained a lyric you went back so everyone could understand what you’re talking about. Good shit bro👍🙏 that’s how a review should be
By for once I mean this is the 1st I’ve seen from you personally. Other people be annoying with it, stopping the track every two seconds. Or talking over the lyrics and not even listening themselves.
The 18th Letter is the letter R of the American English alphabet The R represents Rakim The 18th Letter is also 1+8=9 the supreme mathematics of The Nation of Gods & Earths 1 = knowlwdge 8 = Build & Destroy 9 = Born/Birth So basically The Rs knowledge is to destroy the old and (re)build the new, which is giving birth to new prophecies and knowledge based on the old/previous knowledge
The first Rakim that I heard was "Paid in Full," but my favorite Rakim is "Follow The Leader" because of the pace and the flow. The best Rakim has lyrics that do not quit, and the best Eric B sounds like 50 Clyde Stubblefields playing drums in a concrete room with some atmosphere thrown in.
Rakim and Big Daddy Kane are two guys you need to check out more of. I got to grow up listening to these guys. Microphone fiend by Rakim, and Follow the leader. Big Daddy Kane you gotta check out Set it Off and, and Ain't Know half steppin'. But both goes have plenty of dope songs. I'm sure others will comment on.
He is the ONLY GOAT in terms of innovate, creative, technical,skill, flow , delivery, cadence, voice,etc. He invented and everyone else followed. He came out@ 16 ....Nuff Said...God MC...child prodigy. Listen to every cut from ALL his previous albums.
Yo Rakim isn't one of the BEST Rappers. Dude, Rakim IS LITERALLY THE BEST LYRICIST and RAPPER EVER. Rakim is the source and the Beginning and End❤ #TheGODMC

Hope we get more Rakim reactions man! He's my #1 favourite Emcee! Microphone Fiend next???
He is the GOAT!!!
I agree
The God MC. Do sweat the technique is 🔥
The Rakim is the Greatest Lyricist the song that change rap My Melody
First Rakim song = My Melody which included his 7 emcee theory. Solidified my love for hip hop forever.
Rakim caused a paradigm shift. There’s before Rakim, and after Rakim

Rakim's lyrics are UN-Matched!!!
Gotta listen to Rakim When i be on the mic
What? first time hearing Rakim? Kiddd. Welcome to the 80s.😂😂😂
The 18th Letter is the letter R of the American English alphabet
The R represents Rakim
The 18th Letter is also 1+8=9 the supreme mathematics of The Nation of Gods & Earths
1 = knowlwdge
8 = Build & Destroy
9 = Born/Birth
So basically The Rs knowledge is to destroy the old and (re)build the new, which is giving birth to new prophecies and knowledge based on the old/previous knowledge
Great reaction! I had never heard this before either. I'm familiar with some of Rakims music but look forward to more! 😁.
Check out his song " Uplift" the whole world needs uplifting
🐐🐐🐐

Please do the Saga Begins…you won’t be disappointed
Loved the video. Subbed my Brudah.
NO ONE was doing this back then! That's why he is the G.O.A.T PeriodT
This is firework,,,,and it’s his name
Follow the leader, don't sweat the technique are to nice song and My Melody is a song he killed the game with!
Most people don't know this is the intro to the album
The God
If u think this was something you should react to Rakim’s “Holy Are You”. He basically shows why he’s considered the God Emcee.
He is the ONLY GOAT in terms of innovate, creative, technical,skill, flow , delivery, cadence, voice,etc. He invented and everyone else followed. He came out@ 16 ....Nuff Said...God MC...child prodigy. Listen to every cut from ALL his previous albums.
And this is his name,,,
Not only was he rhyming but he was teaching history as well. Which rapper can word play like that with similar content🤔
I haven't heard of him before can't believe I missed it but yet more hes good
He brings the lyrics of fury😂
Rakim Mahogany you will flip out
Long island GOAT
Can we also jump on Qveen Herbie /vitamins and santigold /my horror❤❤😊

Try Holy are you by Rakim,
I think I heard this before but not sure.
