His cadence was so far ahead of its time. I don't know if people understand that he created the standard pocket for flows
That's why he's the God mc
No they didn't understand... especially the commercial craving artists and their fans
The God MC flowing over a live band is what Hip Hop dreams are made of.
Swag
Exactly! This is what made HIP HOP famous!!
Live bands ,is what Live hip hop performances is lacking.salute Rakim!
I like that rakims flow and style is timeless. ☮️
truth. it's just a smooth, liquid flow. i'm imaginging how it'd feel hearing this flow for the first time in '85
@@seanposner8884Even better in ‘85 because it was no other lyricist sounding like him when he came out!
"Timeless, so age don't count in the booth
When your flow stay submerged in the fountain of youth"
Honestly listening to him today I feel that there's still almost no one you can touch his flow. His voice still sounds the crisp!
Solid
Still have my green "paid in full" concert t shirt from 1987 with "bless the mic for the gods" on the back. My first concert ever, got the ticket stub as well
This would've been such an ill show to attend. Rakim, Talib, Bob James, Black Thought stopping thru... damn.
Rakim is one of my all-time favorite rappers. Great seeing him perform here. Cool person to vibe with in person as well.
RAKIM AND SCARFACE IS IT FOR ME.
@@stevemcraemanager7119 Nice!
@@stevemcraemanager7119as far as Scarface . Why do you feel that way and did you ever see him live ? There is a 1994 interview with him in The Source ( he is on the cover). His intelligence is on another level.
@@stevemcraemanager7119😊❤
Come back to Miami AGAIN (SAT OR EARLY SUNDAY)I MISSED YOU!!! I'M A FIEND!!!
Ya'll don't understand the magnitude of this. 👏👏☝
Head nodding till it fell off, bro!😮
😂👊🏾
They really don't! 💯
magnitude is the right word❤
Wh tf are you!
Wow, being a little country boy in Kentucky in the eighties and nineties. When I came across Clarence 13x and then finding out about 5 percent lyricist like Rakim Allah and Wise Intelligent (Poor Righteous Teacher) it opened another world . Rakim 's delivery was so flawless it can't be duplicated. Shout out to Kweli and High Tech rep that Natti.
Rakim is a living legend!
MASSIVE RESPECK!
🙏🏻💯🙏🏻💯🙏🏻💯🙏🏻💯🙏🏻
The band ripped that joint! Listen to the flute on top of those drums and bass...NICE!
This is what hip-hop looks like..
Rakim has been one of my favorite MCs since i first heard him as a kid in the 80s, and he remains on my top-5 to this day.. What you witnessed on that stage might help explain why he's so special and central to the story of hip-hop culture and rap music.
He's at the top of the list, then you add the other 4
Rakim lyrics on let the rhythm album are the absolute apex of bars
Peace! Yes you are absolutely 💯 correct…
Paid in full is the authentic Hip Hop Anthem. Peace to the God MC. Rakim Allah. Classic's Crate.
what a line up!!!! Talib is for the people
The R Rakim the Godfather MC OG respect to a living Legend of Hip-hop Rap music
WTF you mean Godfather MC? Rakim is the God Emcee, please try to get it right!
So dope The 18th letter The God MC... the Band killed Follow the leader big up Bob James this is legendary
En Colombia amamos la voz de RAKIM y sus canciones #1
I wish the volume of Rakim's microphone 🎤 was higher but other than that the performance gave me goosebumps.
HIPHOP is a feeliing!
well put!
This was an incredible set! All legends! Bob James, Rakim, and Talib! What more can you say? Peace to the gods and earths! Understanding is the best part, Peace!
Kweli is a legend. Rakim is a legend squared. And they went and got the legend cubed?! When Bob James came on the scene, and the love was flowing, I got goosebumps. Bob James always honored the black roots of Jazz, found inspiration and collaborations to open it up to younger ears, and that's why he is such seminal source material for Hip-Hop. I know he always used to treated the sampling of his work as a financial transaction rather than a creative extension, which is maybe the only slightly sour note (though the brilliance of his work is enough sweet to overcome that), so it's electrifying to hear that he might be collaborating directly with Rakim in the near future. Oh can you just IMAGINE?!
I was born in the 80s and to be seeing this put together over jazz music is truly a present in this time and age. #FoundersOfRap #TheGod #Rakim #Word2Mutha
FOLLOW THE LEADER!!! Classic indeed!!! 🔥🔥🔥
*"WØRD TØ DADDY, iNDEED‼️‼️"*
Those open hi hats channeling Ashley's Roachclip, love it. Rakim is the GOD
THIS THE HIP-HOP I KNOW!!!!!!!! THE ONLY HIP-HOP I'LL EVER KNOW!!! The God Rakim, Talib & Bob James.... 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I almost cried from excitement literally
Now this is the true definition of an E-M-C-EE🎤🎤🎤💥💥💥
You still the master of rap Rakim you’ll never get old that flow can’t be followed
Like someone said many years ago: there was every MC before Rakim and everyone after.. he's the standard..
"January 28, 1968
Born into this world, William Griffin The Great
Chapter 1, Wyandanch, Long Island
Scientific rhyming invented a new style when
He met with Eric Barrier from East Elmhurst
The melody they created was the first" - Nas
I'm so glad he's coming out more
Legacy acts should only perform with live bands. Amazing!
There's NOTHING like it!
Facts!
The band’s tight AF too!
It’s rare that a band sound as good as, if not better than the studio recording.
My parts were the horns in “Follow the leader”…
He hit them perfect!
And the bass on “Don’t sweat the technique”..
Murders! 💯🫡🫡🫡
Incredible performances from all involved.
…And then you bring out Bob fkn James… I’m done!
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾101/10…
Yeah, I know what I wrote! Lol
Peace N Love all 💯

we're here to serve!
Damn Look what we don started.... Black Thought , Talib & Rakim now that would be a mad dope album
👏👏👏👏 incredible! What a trio! Y'all don't know how good you got it at the Blue Note Jazz Club!
Rakim thoughts bounce around in my head to my skull is fractured. Then it's all manufactured.
boom!
🤔ONE OF THEE FEW BEST SELECT ON PLANET !! UNQUESTIONABLE 😉
Til this day Eric B & Rakim’s Paid💵in Full Album 💿 is still the best lyrical Album of all time because the beats was fire & he had not once feature MC on it which Proved that the God MC is the best that ever done it. I also feel that Big Daddy Kane’s 1st Album along with BDP Criminal Minded, Slick Rick Great Adventures & Redman’s Muddy Waters & Nas Illmatic was great Albums because it didn’t have a lot of Features
💯
Man I’m 28 rakim the greatest rapper from nyc really grew up off him had his posters or my wall my pops how was ain’t teach me nun else it was great music
Guys...Talib Kweli is the backup MC
A.backup MC at that level.🥰🥰🥰
