I don’t sniff No Kane to get Raw, I don’t Stress My Brain, it ain’t Pure,........ Prescription for a Battle...then I realized he Previously said..and I Don’t wanna have to get Sarcastic, Thoughts and sharp Minds go far Past it, That was SMOOTH......
I uploaded this 7 years ago... Many of you thanked me... nice. Enjoy men Enjoy!!! Enjoy!!!!!! Still putting original demo for Don’t Sweat in my roof... hearing that sensational female voice screaming in the hook!!!!
Awww man!!!! This is so refreshing. New material from Ra. Theses are the kinda tracks that made him the greatest. The best marriage between beats and rhymes ever. The beats were so much better back then, even though it was a lot of samples they had substance. Keep rhyming Ra.
And these are only some, there are tons of unreleased Rakim tracks on youtube, Man with a gun is one of my favorites, deep message and great storytelling
The two most coveted MC's in hip hop history are Nas and Rakim. I think evolved more in terms of style and longevity at the top but Rakim will always be Jordan to Nas's Kobe. Rakim in his prime was the most technically proficient MC. He invented Illmatic's style a decade earlier.
"Everything's Cool" bears a resemblance to the lyrics that wound up on "What's on Your Mind", so I can understand why it was never released as a single. Thanks for posting these rare gems!
He wasn't talking about Big Daddy Kane. RAKIM had a line about Kane in the original version of LET THE RHYTHM HIT'EM but Kane called him and told him he never said anything about him people were just instigating beef. So RAKIM removed the line from the song and never said anything negative about Kane.
dread668 that's false. They never made dis tracks that were released. RAKIM believed the street rumors that Kane dissed him and he made a dis track but he told Kane about it and Kane told him he didn't say anything about him so RAKIM trashed the track he never put it out. They both let that be known years ago.
Great lyrics by the R but always hated those fast jazz tracks that him and Kane would rhyme to. I like the more laid back tracks like Eric B for President and Smooth Operator
“Xerox, zero, no match, you ditto / Copy machine, couldn't reprint my litto” You Don’t Fool me”, 1991(?) “Xerox, zero, no match, you ditto / Copy machine, couldn't reprint my litto” How I Get Down, 1999
Rakim "SINGING HOOKS", NOT SHUTTING this NEW SCHOOL FIASCO DOWN, I COULD GO ON but I'm trying to watch something. Caz TOO. OLD -SCHOOL should COME BACK . It isn't fair. NOTHING NEW GOOD ANYMORE . Wanna hear what they have to say about NOW. Rakim is SCARED TO SERVE EMINEM? WOW. Caz sold out by giving Eminem props. Em shouldn't have accepted the award. He should've made the award retroactive & gave it to who really deserves it.
The Greatest that Ever Lived on the Mic,Amazing!

even back in 1991 the year I was born everyone still had good old rappers and emcees like Big Daddy Kane Nas A Tribe Called Quest and more.

Respect!
💯🎙🔥🔗🙌🏼🫡🇭🇷
depending on which beat rakim in the early 90s flowed on he would set the style for that era eternal because he was an unlimited source of slang

The God of the Mic has unreleased Material that I never knew of I’m baffled and totally flabbergasted...

AZ……..who NAS,,,,,learned from…..first hand influence….
Thank you. Couldn't have put it any better. Rakim and Nas are the best hands down.
just when I thought I've heard everything that the GOD'S ever done.

He dissed Big daddy Kane at 1:35 lol

meagainstthewrld wish I could hear what those lines were because Let The Rhythm Hit-’em is one of the most wicked songs ever!!
Kane and Rakim did have beef though. Go lesson to Mortal Kombat by Kane. That was aimed at Rakim. Rakim responded with Let the Rythem hit Em.
dread668 that's false. They never made dis tracks that were released. RAKIM believed the street rumors that Kane dissed him and he made a dis track but he told Kane about it and Kane told him he didn't say anything about him so RAKIM trashed the track he never put it out.

dread668 I always felt that Mortal Combat was a genetic wanna be Lyrics Of Fury . Rakim is the god
Last joint samples Bob James "Nautilus" and James Brown "funky drummer"
nice…every things gone…Mahogany 2….
this some classic"EricB&Rakim'...they better 2gether:/
@ 4:16 Eric B. & Rakim samples Eugene McDaniels' Headless Heroes
Please somebody familiar with English could write lyrics for these tracks? Thanks
Donato80s ...haters gonna hate.. 80+5er
Were these only released overseas??
Dissing the best one, I can guess that KANE was a threat.
