This is what you call a perfect song...the beat, the production, the lyrics and rakim Jay-z, eminem all on a dr.dre produced track...yep perfection....and yeah I know it's a remix.
Crazy cuz I literally said the exact same thing to myself after relistening to it again. You'll never hear a song like this ever again by anyone in any genre.
Hip hop has evolved. There should be no comparison between the eras. But I do agree. I like that 90s - 2000s rap so much more that I kind of skeptical about calling the new music hip hop. But again, it's still rap music.
@Jack the muss we can agree to disagree. But have a little more faith in the process. As long as Crank Lucas is in the building- hip hop will forever exist! Higher Self is currently streaming on all music media platforms. You should check him out before you pull the plug on hip hop. And then rebuke that blasphemy you're blabbering about. In the name of Hip Hop, the party never stopped. We still got living legends building their legacies. Expanding this music dynasty because hip hop ain't dead or dying. Player haters keep on trying- but hip hop keeps coming back like Michael Myers.

Soy mexicano ,nacido en 1978 para minfue duro conseguir en mi pequeña ciudad esta musica pero hize lo mejor posible, y crecí escuchandolos a todos ellos desde quebestaba en la escuela secundaria,hoy tengo 45 años y aun sigo escuchandolos y disfrutando como la vieja escuela aun en 2023 lensigue partiendo el culo a toda la musica nueva 🙏🏽😁😎👊🏼
Ehhh Let’s be honest a lot of the golden era niggaz overrated. I love Rakim but you do realize he’s only 1 year older then jay? Yet nowhere near the longevity as far as relevant output of material like we give Rakim the Lauryn Hill treatment paid in full is his miseducation and it grants him a lifetime pass and an honorary post as one of the greatest emcees.... but if we judged rappers like nba players, Rakim fumbled his prime or couldn’t adapt to a changing game.... he was only 30 in 1999!!!! But we grade him on 1987 curve
Anybody ever question “The Lyrical God” of Rap now knows. Rakim hands down. Em killed it, Jay Z was nice, Dre nice, but when Rakim took that lead, it was like Michael Jackson verse in “Can You Feel it” from the Jacksons. You could feel the raw pureness of his talent. “The God” has spoken. Debate Over!
To bad hip hop right now doesn't sound this good anymore because this song is a classic. And on a side note I have a you tube channel type in Russell Mills May 22, 2017 to find me.
Im annoyed that I had no idea there was an Eminem version. I thought the eminem version was the official release since Em wrote Dre’s verse lol. This is awesome. Its like when I found out super late Em did his own version of Nas’ The Cross since produced the beat
Do you hear the beautiful seducer? Able to animate the grumbler. Damaged by his torpor. 💫💥💫💥 Come closer. Hold headphones. They heal the weakness. To the sound of our soul mates. 💥💫💥💫 Come out of the laziness. Caress the desegregation.👌 Always with wisdom.
"And I'm gonna die with my eyes open, The Watcher." Rakim🔥
Rakim killed it
Fk yeah
He always has.
Fiercely!!!
Wouldn’t be a classic if he wasn’t on it, PERIOD !
@@dubbjones5476 Facts
Rakim hands down took this on another level🙌
I second that

and can u imagine how hard that slapped, still slaps, as the FIRST SONG of the album.. pfff
I'm a Jay-Z fan but damn Rakim really killed this. 🤯
Crazy cuz I literally said the exact same thing to myself after relistening to it again.
You'll never hear a song like this ever again by anyone in any genre.
jay's verse is not complete but still dope, em is ridiculous and rakim is just from another dimension
Haha fuckin Em changed the whole mood of the song with his sound affects lol
Find The Original.
They shoulda took this version off...no justice.
@@serenescenes846 wdym with the original?
@@serenescenes846 tf you talking about? Eminem's is just a freestyle that isn't in the actual song "The Watcher 2"
Rakim owns this track a lyrical genius
The R is timeless...
I'm a Jay-Z fan but damn Rakim really killed this. 🤯
Rakim Is The God MC 🔥
its crazy that em wrote dres part, jayz flow was written to agh diff beat same jist but thats why he sounds really off lol
Still better than today's rap 🔥🔥🔥
milan sunar wdym? Today's rap is fire

Respect to Rakim
Don't forget that Eminem & Knoc-turn'al are the two doing the chorus.
And ab liva wrote Dre’s verse !
Never knew that.
Eminem wrote dres verses
ad lib wrote Dre's verse on The Watcher 2@@joemafia5356

The Watcher sounds like some kind of unknown vigilante superhero that comes out at night
I KNEW IT WAS SERIOUS when I saw RAKIM on the TRACK!!!
RAKIM is just miles ahead of everyone else
underrated rapper, maybe the most underrated rapper of all time. the best rapper of all time
@@poxahigor most under-rated is Lloyd Banks PERIOD

How did I miss Eminem's part after all these years?!?!?!? 👱 🎤 🔥 3:17
It was a freestyle
Worrrrd
Its the extended version
Rakim had the best verse on the album Eminem's was the weakest it didn't make no sense
WOW!!!...
Rakim slayed this version!
Dr dre always have the lyrics I like in hip pop.started listening to his song n tupac since 1995
Rakim is ahead of all of them including Eminem!
This feels incomplete without the guitar riff from Watcher 2's normal beat.
Rakim ! Eminem Is Good Also With His Funny Psychotic Lyrics
Rakim and jay z ripped this track a new 1
Always nice to listen to them old raps beating the new school.
RAKIM IS TRULY THE G.O.A.T.

Rakim had the best verse
I take jay his verse was cut off
Adonis Creed, great, 10/10❤
Very well blended
I love Dr Dre ❤️
Hmm the masters doing masterful work real rap not wanna be rap, supreme product beats lyrics vibes all another level.

mein absoluter lieblingstrack mit den besten rappern der welt
damn i didnt know em did a verse for this song
Yeah, back when he did this freestyle, only place you could find it was on bootleg CD’s.
@@ThEmEsSiAh187-CFGeorge not true. he actually put it on the MMLP snippet tape.
@@c-bro1 basically em dropped a freestyle for the album and some guy added all these verses
Could you provide a high quality download for this?
Osama Binladin, keep it gensta... ohh, shit wrong song ..
this song is hilarious
Rakim crushed that shit!
Holy trinity of hip hop
The RAKIM!1
Bless it couldn't have been done better. 🤜🏼🤛🏼🔥
coming back from creed 3 fire
Rakim king
The God MC
The holy trinity is us? Give dre his props but that's where it stops? Jay dropping disrespectful subliminals
To who tho Brodie?
Dre would say the same it's g respect
Probably dissing the people who Jay had beef with at the time- Nas, D-block, etc Bec remember this was recorded in like 2002-2003
You guys rock hard 👍🤘
RAKIM💣💣💯💯💯💯
This is my favorite album ❤
its the Rak!!
LOOKY I don't want to get people IN trouble THAT DON'T NEED TO DIE AND I MEAN THAT SHIT RIGHT NOW

Here from creed 3
Rakim the God MC just smashed this wack track!
If u listen to jay z 's version it feels like dre & Rakim outshines jay on his own
Love it, just subscribed, download link?
Any chance you can do one with only Dre and Rakim?
That Was Smart The Watcher 1 & 2
Ohhh You Used The Em Version
Im annoyed that I had no idea there was an Eminem version. I thought the eminem version was the official release since Em wrote Dre’s verse lol. This is awesome. Its like when I found out super late Em did his own version of Nas’ The Cross since produced the beat
