TIMELESS, so age don't count in the booth...... When ya flow stay submerged in the fountain of YOUTH - The GOD MC Rakim: Classic (feat. Nas & KRS-1) Prod by D.J. Premiere
New Rakim album 7.19 This will set the record straight, and seal the debate, 80s hip hop and Rakim is better than Drake lol I just came up with that on the fly.. lol awesome!
Dude, this been the craziest flow of music lately! Man this makes me feel so good! 51 years old and the heads I grew up with still dropping vital music.
Rakim deserves more recognition... He literally CHANGED the game. From simple to "wise/wide words being spoken". He introduced VOCABULARY to the genre. That brother raised the BAR!
Rakim might have the most legitimate claim for greatest rapper alive. Basically birthed the style the whole culture ran with and never, ever lost a step over the years. There has been no drop in quality in four decades. If that aint GOAT material, or at least greatest alive, I dont know what is.
Im a 48 year old hip hop head and I remember gettin Paid In Full and hearin Rakims voice for the first time on "I Aint No Joke" and I felll in love with the essence and I've never been the same. This is a breath of Fresh Air, the genre needed this ! Salute to Ra, Korrupt. And Masta Killa ( crazy underrated) . Seasoned veteran Emcee's still fiyah !
48years old and u did not spent a single hour in math class. how old u was when paid in full dropd huh ? you did listen to this music at the age of 10/11. no radio play just mtv after midnight. u must had have a very bad childhood
@@roberttange805 If he's 48, he would have been 12 years old at the time. You didn't need radio play back then because uncle's, cousins, neighbors etc were playing albums and tapes in the house and in the cars. Well at least mine did.
@@samiransar387 I think Rakim is every true rap listeners idol. Have you ever noticed that NO ONE EVER DISSES THE R? NOR HAS ANYONE EVER TRIED TO BATTLE HIM.
@@BryanLawrence-mz6vlPeace! Not true Kool Keith dissed the God; and LL & RA went bank n forth…Of course Kane..But I still have Rakim #1 all time even above Moe Dee & Melle Mel.
Back in the 90’s, in LA, we had a show called Friday Night Flavas and you can still listen to old recordings here on YT. Anyway, Kurupt always came through and freestyled along with other notables like Canibus, Eminem, DMX, WU, etc. Nobody wanted to battle Kurupt. Feared!
I love how he's the biggest person in the room but never flexes beyond a certain point. He's the definition of humble legend, must be very difficult to stay humble in hip-hop culture.
Met Rakim in New York 42nd & 8th Ave 3 in the morning around the year 1995. What a humble brother. Rahim actually gave his autograph. He had a crowd lined up to shake his hand and he obliged. My personal memories when I encountered Rakim.
Rakim absolutely destroyed this beat and his verse! There is a reason he is so respected in the Rapverse. This old school beat and feel is like chicken soup for the soul for those of us who thrive off this iiissshhh. 🔥💯🎤🔊😎
Yes..some real hip hop roughless and on point without any cursing left and right, just plain raw talent. The real OG's talents of real positive hip-hop are back at it, showing UNITY, all those fake new rappers are gonna have to learn real hip-hop now. Rakim the GOAT.
@@Pernell2222 bro, do you understand music? Do you make music? If you do you should know what I’m talking about certain aspects need to be taken into consideration to make a track as best as possibly can be and that’s the way music should be
I think Kurupt Dumbed his verse down to try and not outshine Tha God (Rakim). In which he shouldn't have! I mean you're on a trac with The God Emcee on a Dope Ass Beat You gots to BRING IT!
I am King Wu-Tang Allah Buddha Masta Killa Burning Ganja Tree Dragon King Toushirou Shihouin Lee. My name is Nishith Vijay. I AM THE GOD MC, NOT RAKIM.
Damn, it's been so long since we've heard The God Rakim. Kurupt still have is East Coast Philly dialect, Masta Killa still doing his thing. Ut Rakim is Rakim. He birthed all of them. Rakim literally changed the whole landscape of rap. Back when rappers were doing 2nd, 3rd grade rap cadences, Rakim changed the WHOLE game. Peace to the God MC

When Rakin started rapping, he captured me right away. Still sound great. Korupt, Killa n The God Ra killed it🔥🔥🔥
Kurupt and Rakim on the same track is crazy!!!
Well, Kurupt did say on one of Snoop's songs that Rakim was his idol.

Rakim is still that dude. Kurupt came with it too. Masta Killah is so underrated, it’s criminal.
Kurupt has some serious lyricism in him.
Savage emcee!🔥👌🏽
I've been saying, EXACTLY the same thing for 3 DECADES 🥂✨️🫡

Yesssirrr... Kurupt doesn't get the true respect he deserves unless ur from the West.. Man is a beast‼‼🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The 10,000 MC slayer
I love how he's the biggest person in the room but never flexes beyond a certain point. He's the definition of humble legend, must be very difficult to stay humble in hip-hop culture.
The original wordsmith is still concocting sick flows nearly forty years after his debut. Rakim will always be in the goat debate.
Aint no debate!!
Top.5 Rakim and Krs
He is the GOAT

Lol. What debate? Rakim is the GOAT. Full stop.
...you betta follow it cuz it's the R.

It’s because he goes in. Most people don’t appreciate his poetic style.
