@@AnarkeeSoundVibes This was the late 80s... no one at that time as far as rap style was like Rakim. He literally changed the game. It changed again when NWA got big.
@@googlek1 I was literally 9 years old when Eric B and Rakim debuted. Krs 1, Chuck D, Grandmaster Flash, Pete Rock, just to name a few random rappers in the 80's who were in his tier. I'm not some young kid who doesn't know what I'm saying, I'm an original hip-hop head who grew up in the 80's.
Finally SHAWNY REAL HIP HOP..........No cussing no cars no naked women just a straight old skool flow!!! Now take it back to Da 70's with some Staples Singers "Let's Do It Again"
Yeaaaaah! I saw that smile, and I knew right away that you would like it!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Now you see why he's such a legend in the game. Great reaction💯🔥👍🏾 Rakim-Paid In Full, Know The Ledge, When I B On That Mic, Lyrics of Fury, Eric B. Is President, Let The Rhythm Hit 'Em, Make Em' Clap To This.
Yes! I requested this track also thanks for the reaction Shawny 🤗 Rakim is a legend he definetly deserves his props ..Please react to " CHECK OUT MY MELODY " by Eric B & Rakim.
Nice reaction. Rakim is the God MC. One of the best to ever do it. You definitely should dig deeper. Start with these. "Follow the Leader" "Juice - Know the Ledge" "Mahogany" "I ain't no Joke" The catalog is crazy. ✌🏾
Rakim is my own personal GOAT his flow is unheard of even above Biggie, Nas or Em. The best part of hip hop is we may agree on 90% of the top 10 but so many will have different top 3's.
Rakim is a top 5 emcee of all time bar none. Some more good songs by him are: In The Ghetto, Follow The Leader, Don't Sweat The Technique, When I Be On The Mic, Juice (Know The Ledge). You should check out Public Enemy- Black Steel In The Hour Of Chaos, one day.
Ooouuu🔥🔥🔥 damn! This is what I need to get in to. I'm seeing where these samples come from. When Buckshot did "I ain't no joke" I had no idea it was a remake from Eric B & Rakim. This song has been sampled a lot too. Now I know what yall youngins go through when ppl get on yall for not knowing certain rappers or songs 🤦🏾♀️🙈 but I do know a lot of 80's pop music 🤷🏾♀️lol
Yassss!!! Their catalog is crazy. Many rappers say Rakim is their #1. Rakim was always solid. This sample came from the band called Average White Band. Song is called “School Boy Crush”. You must check out the other’s by him and Eric B “Paid in Full” “I Ain’t No Joke” ah “Know the Ledge” it is a play on the word knowledge. That one came from the Juice soundtrack. Thanks for reacting to this!!!
R one of the best ever. Interesting about this track was it was made during the crack epidemic and also a metaphor for crack addiction. He’s addicted to the microphone (aka pipe in the day). Many references. One of his best.
Ra was a head of his time. He was a master at complex and truly unique lyrical content, voice, and attitude. Listen to "Check out my melody" and "In the ghetto". NOBODY SMILING!!
More reactions to react: D.J. Quik You's a gangsta, D.J. Quik So many ways, Warren G Regulate, Warren G So many ways. You'll love these old school 90s rap songs. Please check them out.
Great reaction. You should also react to these joints from Eric B. & Rakim - "Lyrics of Fury", ""Musical Massacre", "Know the Ledge", " Let the Rhythm Hit 'Em", you will be amazed, trust me!
Rakim is the GOAT! Period! If you know you know. Here’s small list of people who say he’s the goat and their biggest influence: Black Thought (The Roots), Pharoahe Monch, NAS, Canibus, Kurupt(The Dogg Pound), Snoop Dogg, Trey Dee, Busta Rhymes, Ice Cube, Raekwon(Wu- Tang Clan), Grand Puba( Brand Nubian), Eminem, Jay- Z, Tupac, Nick Grant, AZ, Mos Def/Yasin Bey, GURU(Gang Starr), DMX, DJ Premier(Gang Starr), Doctor Dre, EPMD, just to name a few and Rakim changed the way people rapped and make them step their game up and skills up lyrically.
SHAWNY- I see you played Eric B & Rakim this was the s--t back in the day man, you like EPMD's SO WHAT YOU SAYING, AND STRICTLY BUSINESS, these tracks are hard beats too man. Very similar too Eric B, Rakim same time they came in the late 80's. All right man stay up, I'm out.
THIS IS WHY A LOT OF PEOPLE OF MY GENERATION AND EVEN THE GENERATION AFTER CONSIDER HIM THE GOAT ALL OF THIS WITHOUT CURSING
FACTS!!!!!
And without calling women "bitches"
No one in the past or present can touch Rakim. They can't touch him!
"The Father" of modern rap! #Facts
Fabolous is definitely a progeny of Rakim!
Eric B & Rakim is still one of the best... My favorite song is still I AIN'T NO JOKE/ They were way, wayyy ahead of their time...
No, Rakim was a product of the time he came from. He was from a time where you either lived the life you rapped about or you weren't encouraged.

My Melody was beyond his time and overpowered it all of the MC's.
It wasn't just his amazing lyricism, but his delivery, cadence, and tone that made him the greatest ever to most of us here.

When making greatest MC's if he's not in your at least top 5..Rip the list up, and try again.
If ya’ll don’t have Rakim on your Mt. Rushmore of lyricists then I can’t fuck with you. Very few rappers have influenced more artists than Rakim
K-Rino..."Speech Unleashed" & K-Rino "Marching to Massacre" !! Best in the World!!
