    You digging in the crates. It's always good to see Eric B and Rakim getting shine. They are definitely pioneers of modern hip hop.
    There are a bunch of tracks you can listen to on your trip through the catalog. Rakim is a all time great story teller too. Check out "Juice - Know the Ledge". You'll love it.
    Nice reaction ✌🏾

    Rakim set fire to the track, and didn't even curse in the song. That's talent.

      He never did in any of his songs, he made that promise to his mother.

      ​@situationsixtynine8743 he cussed a few times. Listen to "Mahogany"... he said, "you know how far a kiss can go, fuck around and miss the show"
      That's just one example. RUclips it 😉

    This has always been my favorite joint from the first time I heard it. Best line in hip hop ever!
    "I start to think and then I sink
    Into the paper like I was ink
    When I'm writing, I'm trapped in between the lines
    I escape when I finish the rhyme"

  • @Taj_Rahine

    Yes, the opening bars to this song have a special place in hip hop.

    Man watching someone of your generation educate hip hop fans on the origins of hip hop and exploring the best to ever hold a Mic..Rakim, makes me emotional. I really appreciate you not letting this legacy fade away. Thank you. Just subbed.

  • @ebickford

    Unarguably the best hip hop song of all time from the best MC of all time.

  • @bertiew6771
    @bertiew6771 Год назад +3

    This is the benchmark for every hip hop tune. Imagine picking this up on white label back in 87 on a Thursday and dropping it on a Saturday night. It took me 3 days to prepare. MONSTER TUNE. As Rakim said, "it ain't where you're from it's where you're at". PEACE!

  • @kc4626

    First time I heard a rapper use the word Encore. His flow is cold his voice sounds like dope. The lyrics impeccable.

  • @bigb2494
    @bigb2494 Год назад +7

    Rakim "The God MC", it's only fitting this song samples the Godfather of Soul James Brown. 2 of the biggest influences on hip-hop. Rakim for basically changing the way mc's pattern their rhymes and flows to James Brown being the most sampled in hip-hop.

  • @bertiew6771
    @bertiew6771 Год назад +3

    One thing people forget about this genius of a tune, it was for the dancefloor.

    Nothing was better than hearing Rakim say " grab the mic like I'm on Soul Train" when they were actually on Soul Train!

    • @fidel2xl
      @fidel2xl Год назад +3

      Yeah, that was sick!!! The 'Soul Train' performance around 1987 where there performed this song, was a classic, especially when they dropped that line. I'm a 90s kid, but I've lost track how many times I've watched that 'Soul Train' 1987 video...lol

    52 years old!!! And this is the hip hop we grew up on!! Rakim was one of the first to emphasize bars, flow and delivery. He changed how rappers brought the heat. Wordplay. Contrast that against these mumble rappers!!!

    The term "Flow" wasnt used in HipHop much at all before Rakim. It wasn't just his lyrics but how he rhymed aka His Flow.
    When im writing, im trapped in between the lines/ I escape/ When I finish my rhyme? I got soul. That dope as line on a dance track is crazy.

    @danagreene3419 2 месяца назад

    You have 2 know that if ENIMEM,NAS & countless others are using your lines you have got 2 b the GREATEST. This is basically y when MC's constantly stole his beats & especially his rhymes, he came up with the rap song DON'T SWEAT THE TECHNIQUE. But 1 of my all time favorite songs for wordplay is NO OMEGA. U wanna talk about going in. But also the cleverness of the song What's on your mind from HOUSE PARTY 3. But watch the master alone & in concert with the DJ J Period videos. Maaaan. The last 1 he rhymes off of WU TANG's C.R.E.A.M. , BIGGIE SMALLS' KICK IN THE FOOR ,DR. DRE'S STILL DRE + others. Immaculate!!!!!!!!

    This younger generation is so lame and weak with music/dance (or whatever they are calling it) compared to the anything prior to the 90s. Yes 'Lil J' we were dancing our butts off to this and everything else playing in the 70s, 80s and some 90s!!! We come from the GOLDEN ERA OF MUSIC!! I'm a better person for it.
