He wasn't cursing. It was just a video version. At that time videos were still on TV and certain things were edited in addition to curses such as n-word, and references to guns and drugs. Check out the unedited, I'm sure it's no big deal
@@CliffMarion "Pull out your money, pull out your cut/Pull up a chair - cuz I'm a tear shit up." "I wouldn't have came to say my name and run same weak shit/Putting blurs and slurs and words that just don't fit." It was uncut when it first came out. In the radio version (and the one everyone plays) "Pull up a chair" ends the line with chair echoing and in the other line "shit" was cut down to "sh" with another heavy echo. Yes, I'm old and remember that.
This video came out after Rakim had gone to LA to work with Dre. Rakim wasn't feeling the vibe with Dre and the direction Dre wanted him to go in. So he came back and worked with Premiere to have the NYC flare. That's why he pointed out so much that he was rapping for the city.
Rakim used language that radio censored from his first single “Eric B Is President”. He rarely did that but over the years he even dropped the “f” word a couple times before going solo. Cursing isn’t just for when you have nothing to say. Sometimes it provides emphasis to a statement which we all do. And yeah, bring the crew back. Ya'll do excellent work. Peace
That's one of many rhymes that he wrote. His use of curse words pales in comparison to the amount of profanity that is used today. He still has something to say.
Dropped a few N-Bombs and it was also silent when he said .45 holders. Gun references and drug talk would get edited out to get the video played on MTV and BET. Master P was not a good rapper, but he did spit real shit. He felt authentic, as did the whole No Limit roster. P wasn’t a great lyricist, but he has great charisma, and he had plenty of good-great talent following his orders.
Glad I kept watching to the end. You almost got comment section dealt with. 😂✌🏾 Rakim always had a song here and there with a curse in it. The thing is he never has to lean on curses to fill a verse. In this song he cursed once and I bet most people wouldn’t even catch it. The rest of the edits were for the n word. Ra is still the God MC today. ✌🏾
Ya mans is slacking with his facts. Ra said what he said on Paid in Full- musta missed it. He’s saying igga with a N by the way. Primo is a goat on the beats. Go ahead compare him to Eric B. It’s ok if you’re out your lane. Please, let your knowledge be born about who is better if the 17th letter is trash
I wanna get more with this channel so I'm going to be a bit light on the judgement of lack of knowledge and. history. My advice, Just be careful stating facts and just peep the technique... Clearly they learning as they go and i think it's dope, being interested and into the culture.
KRS ONE DID CURSE EARLY IN HIS CAREER EVEN THE BRIDGE IS OVE HE SAID "ROXXANE IS ONLY GOOD FOR STEADY FUCKING" COMMON CURSED AS WELL EARLY IN HIS CAREER! RAKIM SAID THE WORD SHOT 1 TIME IN THIS SONG WHILE THE OTHER OUT TAKES WERE JUST BASED ON SLANG TERMS NOT WANTED ON CLEAN VERSIONS THATS ALL!
Not everybody got to give up a 💰 for a baddie. Most dudes lack game and patience. And to dude with the jacket, Rakim is saying Nigga like we all do. A if you're sensitive you can take it as a curse word, but your being a distraction from the Bars. Don't place judgement on the one that cemented in the Game. Anything said now for a man that made His bones early and well respected, it's hate. Facts make a argument valid, Fiction and lies àre Hate and Animosity.
Truthfully tho- it don't matter if he did curse,it still isnt as much as whats up now- and he was gettin more hardcore with his joint Know the ledge from Juice in '92,bottom line- a g.o.a.t is a g.o.a.t.

“The 18th Letter” by Rakim…. Lyrical overload
He was not CURSIN'. HE was saying the 'N' word.
Rakim cursed in his very first single, Check Out My Melody. That he never curses is a myth. He just did it very rarely.
Not true, listen again King!

"It's Been A Long Time" is another Rah solo venture produced by Premiere

He wasn’t cursing. The video is edited for the sake of monetization. The words that were bleed out were the N-word and a reference to a gun.
"He didn't curse he just said the n-word"
I'm sorry but are you dumb?
He said “45 holders” & they bleep that…smh
The sample is M.O.P.
He said ninjas they bleep out

How long did you want him to rock a fade lol

Not sure what you’re listening to but The R wasn’t cursing! The N bomb was what he was saying that was taken out 🤷🏾♂️
