What most people miss is the Literation throughout this song: "Music Mixed Mellow Maintains to Make
Melodies for Mc's, Motivates the breaks" "Self-esteem make me Super, Superb, and Supreme" "A Magnum as a Microphone, Murderin' Mc's" "Cause everytime I Stop it Seems ya Stuck Soon as ya try to Step off ya Self-destruct"
exactlyyyyyyyyyyyy this dude told you in the 80's i can take a phrase that's rarely heard FLIP IT! now it's a daily word notice he was saying Flow in the 80s and if you notice NOT ONE CURSE
Yes! Yes! Yes!
To know he wrote this as a teenager is MIND BOGGLING. Rakim is most definitely one of a kind. He is second to none. Hearing his lyrics is one thing but reading what he wrote is really something else. It's like how can you write something like this and then to rap it and make it flow is very difficult.
NOTHING lyrically sounded like this at this time, even today nothing sound like this. "Musical Massacre" is something else too.
THE GREATEST
@@MuhammadAli-LateefTrue indeed, true indeed...There's Rakim and everyone else
@@mathematicalfacts1439 WORD!!
The ultimate innovator ... very few considered greater .

My Melody...As The Rhyme Goes On.....🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Nearly all hip hop from the this era had sampled percussion from James Brown and JBs. You literally hear all of hip hop, from breaks to split second samples. James Browns music is literally the canvas hip hop is painted on! Solid review✊🏾✊🏾
James got that Funk 🎶 boom 💥
Lots of JB from the late 80's, but none on this song.
Then Dre and De La Soul used P-Funk .. the whole G Funk and alot of West Coast hip-hop uses Parliament Funkadelic.. James Brown and George Clinton (Parliament) had Bootsy Collins on Bass
One of the main samples used was from "Nautilus" by Bob James.
This is why everyone no matter the generation have rakim in there top 5 he is the GOD
Rakim jazz student applied to hip-hop the GOD
You're correct about the third rail. On New York train tracks is always the rail you try to avoid. Otherwise, if you touch it, you'll be electrocuted.
No, he's talking about taking you in outer space and you getting lost and having to follow him to get back. There's also a shot fired at Big daddy cane in this song. He's smashing this track.
Rakim the god no curse words effing genius
They formed it after the movie "The Untouchables" with Deniro and Costner. The scene where Deniro imitates Capone with the baseball bat.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
This is my favorite track from him. 2nd verse mad me question every MC in existence. "Follow the Leader" hook came from his first album. So he really was scratchin his own voice. The single was "I know You got Soul". You was absolutely right about the 3rd rail part which is the most dangerous part of the track because its a open power source.
For those who are young Millenials and Gen Z, in the verse...You're just a minute rapper/your rhymes are minute made/I'll be hear when it fade and watch it flip like a Renegade- There was a Jeep in the 80s called Renegade that used to flip over to the point where Chrysler had to recall them. I thought that was a crazy dope line at the time.
Rakim is the Well Spring from which all the Rap that followed after him, was heavily influenced by! His style and flow was unmatched then and even today! That's also why he is largely regarded as the GOAT in the Hip Hop Rap Game! Rakim came from a Musical🎶 family and actually played the Saxophone🎷when he was younger. That's a major reason why his rhymes schemes and bars where ahead of his time! Rakim understood Music🎶 and how to fit rhymes into the Bars with timing and rhythm like a trained Musician!🎷
You are right the follow the leader scratch is actually him from another record
My all time favorite!
You got to remember if you wasn't into Rakim from the beginning you might not get the gist..he refers to his own previous lyrics and songs
Rakim invented the modern Rap cadence.
In politics, the "third rail" is a subject you just don't touch like cutting social security.
Next like and i say great video and i would like to see (DMS feat. Horkýže Slíže - Rampa |Official Video|) / DMS= grupe D=Dame [Raper], M= Monsignor Separ [Raper], S= Smart [producent,DJ]/ Horkýže Slíže=Horkýže Slíže is a Slovak punk rock band. At the beginning of their career, they mainly played hard rock, later comedy rock, which is also referred to as naive punk. Today, the group is focused exclusively on punk rock.

Rakim was the greatest Rap lyricists of all time. Some of the all time greats Rappers still verify this! For the record Rakim was a 5%er! The 5% Nation of God's on earth is an offshoot of the Nation of Islam🕌 and many 5%ers were the originators of Hip Hop! Just food for thought💭💡 Assalamualaikum ☝️🤲✌️🕊️
Awesome video, No Zapatos, can you react to Rakim's 💎 (my personal favorite, plus he throws a solidifying jab at Bis's narcissistic detractor ... The twelfth letter twice, and was he really that nice ?! "I'm gonna knock you out (Huh)" Lol ! Some shade rightfully applied, right ?)
*"No Omega"* ?
It's from their third solid album : *"Let the Rhythm Hit 'Em"* (1990)
Because Ra gets nasty on the-ones-and-twos, with ridiculously dope scratchin' for my satisfaction !
Plus, it seems that Eric B. did diddly-squat (cuttin' it up or producing ... besides being the connect, I guess, I'll digress, yes ;) on those four albums .
The reason I'm being so emphatic is because this is my favorite track ( *"No Omega"* ) off of the album *"Let the Rhythm Hit 'Em",* and I still believe to this day, here's the template cadence that hasn't been replicated, plus there's an awesome but tragic story behind the late, great pioneer on the SP-12 : The master manipulator producer/engineer : Paul C McKasty, that taught Large Professor & Rakim ... Enough said .
As the story goes : While producing "No Omega" with Rakim, Paul C (Check out and listen to R.A. as he pays tribute and mentions Paul C in this awesome track : ruclips.net/video/Lnx1qpk4EIY/видео.html@3:00
"I'm Poetic from Gravediggaz
I'm ODB, I'm Headquarters
I'm Ted Demme, *I'm Paul C*
If I ain't better than B.I.G., I'm the closest
I'm Richard Pryor before multiple sclerosis ...") met his untimedly demise, as he was sleeping in his basement bedroom (murdered) .
Here's the ultimate hip-hop documentary tale ever told : ruclips.net/video/yCOfhD30S7o/видео.html
And a surprise thrash metal band that was also recording in Queens, Ny . Crazy, right ?!
(Side note : My favorite ones by this band is their second, third, and fourth album ;)
Enjoy this awesome documentary ! ☮️
Bruh, maybe you should consider watching the entire video before making comments.
I'm sorry you need to let the videos play then give your reaction
It's a matter of spacing out comments.
It's ok to comment on songs while they're still playing. People can better highlight certain things about a song while it's playing. So for me it's about getting a feel for how to space out your comments while a song is playing.
