Yeahhhh...that stank face of lyrical amazement and awe. Can't hide it when Rakim is flowing...followed by a wide eyed deep exhale...Rakim=the G.O.A.T.!
Rakim is like the Noah of hip hop, creating the modern style all rappers use today and influencing all the greats like Nas, Eminem, Pac, Biggie and Jay Z all influenced by this GOAT. React to Big L MVP remix summer mix version is the best.
This one of those that i didn't want to end. The beat, the delivery, the substance. Jesus. "N when the topic is topicless then I'm writing the apocalypse" 🔥🔥🔥
What Rakim been Legendary for Damn near 40 Years I think he and Eric B got together in 84 to 85 and i think they dropped their 1st joint in 86 Fire, he got so much good Shit. Need Some Lyrics this were you go. Can't Leave Out Treach, 3 Stacks or L.L. Seem Him in Concert Great Show.
One of the g.o.a.t's. It's was crazy when people start to say.... "Rakim ft Eminem" or. "Eminem ft rakim" Yep even i was crazy. I mean..... This ft is a dream to listening lyrical hip hop.
THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY HE IS IN MY TOP 5 OF ALL TIME-SHOUT OUT TO PETE ROCK ON THE PRODUCTION.HIS LYRICAL FIRE POWER IS JUST LIKE WHOA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This song is super hard. When I first heard it I flipped. Don't forget that Jackie Hill Perry- Lamentations reaction hah I swear it's a great follow up track. You know I haven't let you down lol
I remember when I was a kid if I wasn’t watching transformers and gi joe i had yo mtv raps on. Rakim, poor righteous teachers special Ed, slick Rick, kwame, gang Starr and public enemy all raised me in my youth.
The PROBLEM w/Rakim is he just to DAMN GOOD..HE inspired the other 🐐 we kno & damn if u can’t hear him when listening to any of them ur just not into real HIPHOP!! Nas, PAC, Biggie, Jay, Em, KiNG Crook, any lyrical MC u can name u LITERALLY hear his inspiration through them it’s CRAZY…That made me feel like I just heard all them @ once!!!
Holy @#$!! Never heard of the dude. This kinda made my heart hurt it was so good. And, I was only half-way into the song when I realized there was no profanity (is this a new trend in rap???) ... it's amazing the lyrics & meaning/message you can hear & appreciate without it.
This is a really crazy comment! It almost blew whole head apart I hope you continued digging into Rakim after this. I know I’m a little late but honestly Rakims music is timeless so it don’t matter if I’m late and everyone in hip hop will forever owe him The best for you 🤟
If your gonna do Nas soon maybe do some tracks of the god son album. I say that instead of the typical more popular albums just cuz i recently started jammin that album out again and forgot how many classic tracks are on that one. For some reason in my mind, i thought a lot of them tracks were on prior albums till i sat back down with that album as a whole n realized it all was fire! A great sleeper of an album to cover for the love of hip hop type shit. Forgot how good that album was because it gets drowned out of list to Illmatic, It was written and stillmatic. The new album is a full play through fire album too if you aint already covered it.
Nas can’t touch Rakim and Rakim made Nas look stupid on the Nike classic track produced by dj premier and even dj premier said that Rakim is the Goat,,, real talk and facts
@vernonjohnson1198 dude was talking about Nas so I gave a suggestion. Not sure why you think i care about your opinion. Never said a single thing about Nas vs Rakim so go argue with someone who cares.
@@jeremyphillips6229 big homie except my apologies and so you know for future reference I never give my opinion about Rakim I seriously and only give concrete hip hop culture history so anything that I state about Rakim or hip hop culture history you can seriously google it,, and like I said about nas and Rakim,,,,Rakim made Nas look stupid on the Nike classic track that was produced by dj premier and premo even said that Rakim is the GOAT 🐐 and he’s done more tracks for nas than he has for Rakim and nas doesn’t use words like 3rd eye meaning your mind and bismiallah which means in Hebrew give praise when you hit the floor Rakim’s wordplay and flow is better than nas,, and do remember that Rakim invented lyricsim and flow and internal rhyme schemes and phrases and multi sllyables use and Rakim wrote a book called sweat the technique and it’s a statement that no other rapper or emcee can ever say including nas,,,,, I just gave you concrete facts within the hip hop culture history community and Rakim changed the art form of rapping with is the 5 element of the culture of hip hop culture history that was born in 1978 and it was invented between dj grandmaster flash and his rapper named cowboy who died in 1986 due to the aids virus,,,,, and again this is not my opinion but straight up hardcore concrete hip hop culture history facts and if you don’t know your hip hop culture history facts then that’s on you vs you being a bias listener based on the subject matter of the artist that you like vs the schoollastic skill set of the art basically meaning how technical is the artist because there’s a serious difference between subject matter and skill set,,,,real talk and facts
Thank you !!!!!!! This man started the track. Sit back and LISTENED. WORD FOR WORD. LINE FOR LINE. VERSE FOR VERSE. BAR FOR BAR. Go coach these younsta's on how to PAY ATTENTION AND LISTEN !!!! Study your 120° •7) G.O.D. Besides some white boys you're the only person i have seen that actually didn't do a lot of irritating interruptions throught the video. It's so annoying. You my man have done a bang up job on this video. P.S. Then you actually listened to the outro to fade out !!!!!! Well done !!!!!
I know you’re going on the old lyricist vibe but Mac Miller’s Faces is now out on streaming services and is in my opinion his best piece of work. Would love to see you react to it or at least a song or two off of it!
As far as im concerned hip hop started when rakim grabbed the mic because before that everything else was childish and had a silly component to it. Rakim stepped to the mic and showed the planet how it is done ! Its scary how familiar he was with how to flow on beats and how his lyrics coincide flawlessly with the topic
Nagas think: why isn't the world recognising us? Why isn't our back beat magic ruling the kingdom? Why isn't our feelsy hoodo woodo word play holding the reigns? It is so because that is how God wants it. The world is shaped by forward momentum and force.
Eminem said rakim is the greatest of all time. Ll cool j inspired him to start writing. Its funny if you listen to ems early shit. You can obviously hear the influence. I heard wu and rakim and Redman and them long before em. You can hear the influence and to me its a fucking beautiful thing

![HE MADE ME ORGA$M... Rakim - Flow Forever [ REACTION ] 10/10](/img/tr.png)
Rakim has always been amazing. No dumb ass beats, none of that shit. He spits it and keeps it moving. Love it.
Yeahhhh...that stank face of lyrical amazement and awe. Can't hide it when Rakim is flowing...followed by a wide eyed deep exhale...Rakim=the G.O.A.T.!
I can actually hear how nas and em took from rakim's pen with this one
Rakim is like the Noah of hip hop, creating the modern style all rappers use today and influencing all the greats like Nas, Eminem, Pac, Biggie and Jay Z all influenced by this GOAT. React to Big L MVP remix summer mix version is the best.
brilliant analogy
He is really the perfect MC prototype/Achetype
I love me some Rakim One of the founding fathers of hip-hop and that’s without discussing
Whenever I hear this song I just envision Rakim Sitting on his Throne with a tilted Crown.
This one of those that i didn't want to end. The beat, the delivery, the substance. Jesus. "N when the topic is topicless then I'm writing the apocalypse" 🔥🔥🔥
Oh so he's bringing Him back? I like it! Rakim - guess who's back gotta be next tho
That Prodigy sample is COLD! When he says "The Saga Begins"
Prodigy 1 of the most sampled voices. He was too dope! R.I.P!
@@128djxcel 🎶Illuminati want my mind soul and my body!🎶 If you know you know!
@@joshnippleton3449 they couldn't take his mind and soul so they took his body. RIP
@@dachirati They couldn’t take either because it wasn’t their’s to begin with!
I seriously love rakim the God MC and the king 🤴 on the open mic 🎤..real talk
Rakim is so f'n dope
Amazing classic.
What Rakim been Legendary for Damn near 40 Years I think he and Eric B got together in 84 to 85 and i think they dropped their 1st joint in 86 Fire, he got so much good Shit. Need Some Lyrics this were you go. Can't Leave Out Treach, 3 Stacks or L.L. Seem Him in Concert Great Show.
“and when the topic get topicless…then I’m writing the Apocalypse
4:20 my headphones almost burnt from the fire 🔥🔥🔥
THE BEST! RAKIM THE GOD
Krino has a new album, we need some Punishment Phase, Heavy Gun, and Upper Echelon up in here!
Rakim is a walking legacy himself
Love how he samples his own stuff in this🐐
You’re kind of putting yourself in a hole now lmaooo, because how are you supposed to follow up a Rakim reaction 😂
The god has a GIFT....NO MORE 2 B SAID✊🏽💯
If you like the God MC i recommend ‘Holy are you’. It was the first time i heard hip hop and let me tell you, my virgin ears weren’ prepared.
I'm the R to the A to the K-I-M
And if I wasn't then Y would I say I AM
Up next: watch the ending to find out…
When you bringing back Rage tho? You gotta check out Know Your Enemy bro ✊🏼

Bring him back,you know they desperate!

Realizing now I'm kinda showing my ignorance of the rap scene after looking into Rakim. Yeah ... oops, that was awhile ago. But, to me it sounded new.
This is a really crazy comment! It almost blew whole head apart
I hope you continued digging into Rakim after this. I know I’m a little late but honestly Rakims music is timeless so it don’t matter if I’m late and everyone in hip hop will forever owe him

Rakim once bailed on opening for Tech N9ne lol
Tech got a song about that too lol.
@@jeremyphillips6229 “ I hit the stage grab the mic and blow them all away”🔥
Goat
The way you follow rakim is with k rino. Any of the ones already requested
Nobody better
Back at it again with another repeated recommendation of Rakim's R.A.K.I.M song off of the 8 Mile O.S.T.! :)
👍👍👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The first God EM Cee.
you should react to NF - WHY i think you would like that song cuz of the realness
As far as im concerned hip hop started when rakim grabbed the mic because before that everything else was childish and had a silly component to it. Rakim stepped to the mic and showed the planet how it is done ! Its scary how familiar he was with how to flow on beats and how his lyrics coincide flawlessly with the topic
Rakim- no omega
Do momentum by russ and black thought. Or birds eye view with raekwon and black thought please
You just listened to the God speak!
React to Ra the rugged man chains
Growing up to Lyrics like this on the regular, makes it damn near impossible to like anything less....
THIS IS JUST THE INTRO TO THE LP
Nagas think: why isn't the world recognising us? Why isn't our back beat magic ruling the kingdom? Why isn't our feelsy hoodo woodo word play holding the reigns?
It is so because that is how God wants it.
The world is shaped by forward momentum and force.
Havoc from Mobb Deep produced that album
No he didn’t 🤨
Kid Wizard is tha 🐐. If you know you know
Eminem said rakim is the greatest of all time. Ll cool j inspired him to start writing. Its funny if you listen to ems early shit. You can obviously hear the influence. I heard wu and rakim and Redman and them long before em. You can hear the influence and to me its a fucking beautiful thing
Do Rakim-untouchable
Check out set em straight
NEXT ICE CUBE OR NAS
Do Rakim MC mean move the ground
The mystery(who is god?) Please is from rakim
Lyrics if fury reaction
Greatest mc ever behind the one and only Jay z
React to Joyner Lucas- I’m sorry. I know you think he’s trash, but I promise you this is a great song and I think it’ll touch you! Trust me
We need no omega reaction
50k followers and only 300 something likes? What you people listening to?
People are so braindead nowadays they're prolly interested in them RUclips wrappers beefs 😂 Those be making hella views...
Biggie is Not dis Level of Rakim
You’d like tone deaf
