No judgement here brother I'm a 43 year old white boy from Australia and this gives me full body goosebumps. I feel this like I did when I was a little kid listening to Paid in Full❤👊
Rakim THE G.O.A.T. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE the fact that LA and NY Mcees getting together. I wish Biggie and Pac could see this!!!!!!
"Slow your roll, like your legs was broken Who's joking? Rakim never joked, so why should I loc? And that's my idol, check the vital rhyme flow though Running 'em like Flo Jo, stranded on Death Row" -Kurupt
The gods are uniquely identified with New York and it leaked into the essence of hip hop. The world has to acknowledge that and pay homage, but they don't really overstand.
I think Rakim can bring hip hop back to its greatness..I think the people have been starving for so long for that original sound and are Finally mentally ready to accept hip hop once again
These lil dweebish kids don't have the mental capacity to understand anything that's not talking about killing and $ex! This is a nice wish, but sadly the industry wants music to stay ignorant and destructive, because you know who is in charge!! ( 👿) 🤷🏾♂️😔
Rakim still has it. Hope to hear more new music from him. Glad to say I met Rakim and took a pic with him backstage at BB Kings in Times Square for his 50th Birthday. The God MC is cool.
Rakim completely changed the trajectory of Hip Hip. People used used to rhyme, then Rakim came in with a flow and the game has never been the same! The Big Bang of MC's!
@GeovanniOrozco-wf9ny you can say that but Kool G never had the impact on lyricism like the R. Just even the notion of being a God into the spectrum. Kool G was great but Rakim created a culture!
We must trust in the OG's to claim hip hop back from this talentless young generation who have about ruined it. All we need are 16 bar flows, the return of DJs who can scratch and mix. Hip hop MUST be brought back to the art form era of smooth lyrics and hard punchlines.
The R always been in my top 5 and his #2 rank on my list is safe, sound & solidified! Guess Whos Back and we all glad! He still "Thinking of a Master Plan"! 😮
Rakim is like Prince in that he mastered his craft AND you NEVER heard any ill sht about either in their personal lives …that’s a sign of intelligence and maturity

Yes, dope comment. I question your math but I share the sentiment!
The god Rakum wrote most of hid debut album between 14 and 16. He was a child prodigy before our eyes.
Is it just me or is anybody else anticipating the hell out this album?!!!
It’s an album?
Yep
A few years
Rakim still got it still to this day!
ABOLUTELY ! but , man , he looks tired...
What an honor to see my artwork sit next to the legend Rakim!!!! Peace to Matthew Markoff !

Who's joking? Rakim never joked, so why should I loc?
And that's my idol, check the vital rhyme flow though
Running 'em like Flo Jo, stranded on Death Row" -Kurupt
If you don’t know, do your homework. Any time the Gods showed up when Hip Hop was in a dire state, it was bought back to its essence. Actual Factz!
Hip-hop
The gods are uniquely identified with New York and it leaked into the essence of hip hop. The world has to acknowledge that and pay homage, but they don't really overstand.
Y'all dude is bugging. I respect it cause of who it is. But it's alright.

He's the original Rap God 💯🔥
actually g rap changed it not rakim.
@@GeovanniOrozco-wf9ny wrong. I was there when it occurred in 86. Rakim was pre G rap.
@GeovanniOrozco-wf9ny you can say that but Kool G never had the impact on lyricism like the R. Just even the notion of being a God into the spectrum. Kool G was great but Rakim created a culture!
LL Cool J Big Daddy Kane MC Lyte as well

My Soul needed this.
Rakim, greatest lyricist of all time, no debate.
We must trust in the OG's to claim hip hop back from this talentless young generation who have about ruined it. All we need are 16 bar flows, the return of DJs who can scratch and mix. Hip hop MUST be brought back to the art form era of smooth lyrics and hard punchlines.
Rakim on the beat and 🎤 is dope 🔥
This is like some Doctor Who time traveling sh**. The God, Kurupt and the High Chief Jamel Irief. Blessings.
The true Hip-Hop dudes are Rakim and Common
Rap need at least 2 new charts . Like “ classic rap ‘ “ pop rap “ and regular rap charts . Its time .

🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
That boy rakim the God All 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 I keep replaying his part.
[Intro]
Be now, be ill, be down, be real
Yo, they used to always ask me
What I wanted to be when I grew up
I said yo (Be now, be ill, be down, be real)
[Verse 1: Rakim]
A fashion dripper, Carhartt, Timberlands, contests
Opps flop, I stomp from gimmickless
Average spitter, the response, my competition
Get them all next, you're blessed like when the Fonz'll twist his lip
Lab hitter, progress, the God's magnificent
Patterns differ, context, my compositions hit
Fathom quicker, conquest, a conscious lyricist
Atom splitter, complex, it's quantum physics
Since they put my melody on a cleverly poem
My celebrities still legacy, and 'gevity long
Design flows in binary codes, no matrix
Light-speeds, time could be froze, no spaceships
Walkin' paradox, I made them all believers
Ship the paradigm, even time, alter features
On the mic, it's either too three or not too three
In life, it's either to be or not to be
[Chorus]
"I'm-I'm-I'm in the zone" ("This is what it's all about")
Be ill ("I-I-I'll be flooded with ice")
Be ready to reveal ("I'm-I'm-I'm in the zone")
B-B-"Be all I can be, and more" ("Finishin' touch")
Be boys and girls ("Be now, be ill, be down, be real)
[Verse 2: Kurupt]
My abilities, to create mass delusion
Headaches, heartaches and mass confusion
Contusions, I give out for free
Five at a time, one for two and two for three (For three)
Confucius, verbally abusive
Intuitive, a gift I give (I give)
Look what I'm givin', the voice of the unforgivin'
In time, I might get forgiven for my crimes (Crimes)
Lay the body down and lace 'em with lime
You throw the beat on and I'ma lace 'em with rhymes
Helter skelter, this pure love bizarre
Masta Killa said we gon' rock with the R (With the R)
You are who you are and we shine like the stars (Like the stars)
Sharp as a thumbtack, you jump in my car, let's go
[Chorus]
"I'm-I'm-I'm in the zone" ("This is what it's all about")
Be ill ("I-I-I'll be flooded with ice")
Be ready to reveal ("I'm-I'm-I'm in the zone")
B-B-"Be all I can be, and more" ("Finishin' touch")
Be now, be ill, be down, be real
[Verse 3: Masta Killa]
I walked on the sea of existence
And stepped on the shore of the moment
The father of civilization, I own it
The maker of my daughter, creation
One Nation Under a Groove
Before the two virtues of seamless scriptures
Woven with the threads of wisdom
This picture of my life intelligence, stimulates life and matter
So eloquent, a thought so delicate
Yet weighs more than elephants, strokes of excellence
Extracted from the elements, a powerful calmness
I'm always armed and equipped with what I bomb with
A sweet flowin' river of mad facts, the actual
Calculated pressure applied, hits are tactical
Masterful mind
Catapult self beyond the measure of time
The resilience and brilliance of Kurupt Young Gotti
Rakim the Godbody with the wise Chief Jamel Irief when I speak
Raisin' Universal Flags up high, say peace (Peace)
[Chorus]
"I'm-I'm-I'm in the zone" ("This is what it's all about")
Be ill ("I-I-I'll be flooded with ice")
Be ready to reveal ("I'm-I'm-I'm in the zone")
B-B-"Be all I can be, and more"
Peace to the brothers! Kurupt with the UNIVERSAL FLAG 🔥
Real hip Hop at its best....I wish they still made them this rich...
The Most Official Beat of 2024!!! Godz have returned
