I remember being in high school "9th grade"! The Monday following this performance he became the GOD MC! Everyone put the phrase I AIN'T NO JOKE in their daily vocab.
@WVandellHarris agreed rakim was being extra for no reason and I grew up listening to rakim but Don handled that like a grown man should s.i.p mr Cornelius 💯🙏
I read in another video someone put that Don was disrespectful/rude towards Rakim. But i think otherwise. The person who put that negative comment must not have a sense of humor. As this comment might have you smiling though it "aint no joke".🤪
don cornelius' attitude towards/disdain for oldschool hip-hop (as it emerged in popularity at the time) is the same as old-head rappers hatin' on mumble-rap now (#generationalgap)
Exactly ( but I disagree with regards to mumble rap- how you gon hate on what you can't understand?!) 😆 Don was hatin, he didn't want rap on soul train. Don underplayed the success of rap just like he slept on paying for the rights to Soul Train's theme song!! 😶It was his WORSE biz decision besides marrying that white female.
I don’t think don didn’t hate hip hop he probably jam too it a lot but it was just that he was too old in love the r&b in the 70s he was just like old cat who talk shit about younger generations music. Some do understand it some don’t…
The irony, Don was laughing and smiling which was a rarity..RIP Don C
Listen to the crowd within the first few seconds.....The Respect....PEACE!!!!!!
Don Cornelius didn't even like hip hop, but he had to evolve with the times!
In other words, he had to lower his standards.
That man probably was listen too it outside but in his show he was just a asshole…
Damn shame that he had to capitulate to soulless "music."
@@dialerproof4334 No his old ignorant ass needed to get with the times.

You're a pseudo intellectual in it's purest form, hip hop is like james brown on a next level.

to me rakim is one of the most beautiful black men ever.
Amazing. Listen to that crowd, dead silent in the presence of the greatest MC and DJ ever.
I think that Don Cornelius really liked them honestly
So what Don didn't like Hip Hop. He respected that it was the music of the youth and gave them a platform.
Exactly at least he was respectful watching some of his videos by my observations he was older around that time that's all.
"You don't smile too much" .. "I ain't no joke"... Don was intimidated.
Don wasn’t intimidated-Rakim was . DON was THE OG on this THAT STAGE on THAT DAY

HOW THE FUQ COULD ANYONE RECOGNIZE ANYTHING ELSE BUT TRUE RESPECT AND LOVE FOR EACH OTHER IN THIS CLIP!!!!
Salute for posting this!. I remember this interview like it was yesterday.
Reminds me of Prince. He rarely showed emotion during interviews
Wow.
The icons Don Cornelius and Rakim Allah.
Thanks for posting this.
GOD BLESS HIP HOP!
DON HAD NO IDEA HE WAS SPEAKIN WITH THE G OF THIS SHIT SMDH
Rakim G.O.A.T period, nice rare upload man...
Poor Don Cornelius just couldn't relate to rap music.
What would be poor about that? He had high standards.
Don Cornelius is put of bc RAKIM ain't impressed by him
Peace GOD
The God MC‼️
thanks for the upload
"Rakeem"

NICE! you have the whole performance?
The outfits, and the jewelry. It was all style & fashion. But did Rakim have a problem with Don, or was that just the way he would portray himself?
No, I think it was mutual respect.
ha! DC called em RAHKEEM ha!
So Don wants us to shuck and jive with a big smile? glad the R and Eric B stood there ground

Mumble rappers actually have no talent. Its no generation gap its the truth.

@@thepulsehiphop1014 Mumble rap was alright in early 2010 but when those bum with pink hair started doing that fuck it up…

Don obviously had serious demons
