![Rakim & J.PERIOD Present The Live Mixtape: God MC Edition [A Visual Mixtape]](/img/n.gif)
If Rakim came out rapping today he couldn't get arrested. If Drake tried to pick up the mic 20 years ago they would have laughed him out of the office.
Music Power lmao right
really, like they would say WTF is this man😂 kiki
OMG.. they did. Back in 2007. He drove from Canada to New York. To give his mixtape to def jam recording label.) everyone told him .. he was definitely WRACKED !! ... I mean they told him to his FACE !!! .) true story. !!!
I doubt it he was a lyrical artist back then and his mentors were artists from the 90s.
hn drake cold jcole best that ever did it
Rakim, truly my favorite hip-hop artist of all time! Keep makin' boys "clap to this"...
Big L straight from hell
Rakim is one of the best lyricist ever! a good rap or hip hop song to me tells a tale. makes you feel like your there and a part of it. gives you chills , goosebumps. gets you high! Rakim is one and always will b one of the best!
Yes so true. That's similar to what I said about P. E. The way they put there words together and the words they pick. Intricate. Astounding poets. Eric B and Rakim. Smooth. Yes I noticed that to they weren't into money just Hip Hop. Great Poets😎😎😎
@@michaelfataaikitama3096 not too many artists like that . Especially for any artist or musician that ascended to the level Eric B & Ra did
Best explaination I've heard in a long time...... keep it real Rakim
Love this guy. Eric B & Rakim were far and away my favorites back in the day.
Hip-Hop has now become into some fuck shit!
True
You could say that most of the new hip-hop "artists" sweat the technique.
Do you even know what "sweat the technique" means? Lol
@@TNT_12 Lol
Here's the thing...this interview is coming from the best that's ever BEEN! Eric B.& Rakim still blows away anybody. Even their 1st album (I burned out the 1st cassette tape & had to buy another). Now, fortunately, it's all on digital media.
Hip Hop used to be politically concious, now it's mainstream gangster rap, that's how it has changed....
In my opinion gangster rap ain't Hip-Hop! There's a difference between emceeing and rap. And one day the rap scene has decided to go their own ways and leave Hip-Hop behind. I mean Hip-Hop is still living! It lives on in us. And we have the chance to carry it further to the next generation. At least to try!
Gangster rap is passe
Not all of it is gangster rap and love songs are mainstream too. Gangster rap started blowing up in the 90s and kept going.
@@GrandMaster.Smile. More than that: Since the mid-2000 Rap mainly moved from hip-hop beats to grime and other new electronic genre.
hip hop does not exist in the mainstream.... it is pop music... no culture, no heart, no soul....
Rakim GOAT case closed.
If hip-hop was a human, it'd be Rakim
He is truly the G.O.A.T of all rappers and that's fact.
What I know about rap you could write on the back of a postage stamp to be honest but even I know Rakim is the greatest and the godfather of flow. The man exudes class and respect and Know the ledge is the power tune of all time in my opinion.
Rap's G.O.A.T. just broke it down as only he can!
Straight Mc true when rap actually met something .when they knew with the mic they could Influence for the better nowadays rappers rapping but they ain't saying shit .
We still have rappers doing that and most of this gangster rap started in the 90s and became the wave in 2000s.
Still think Rakim had the best two lines ever:
I can take a phrase that’s rarely heard
Flip it - now it’s a daily word
Real music lasts forever! Fuck all this new bullshit, only hip hop i listen to is from 87-02. Rakim one of the best to ever do it
Tom Chapman What bout dre's and cubes newer music
Tom Chapman Yep Yep Go Back To 1979 Then Come Up
My mans Rakim don't age lol
True hip hop legend
Awesome!!!😂 Your music touched me a long time ago. Your lyrics and beats are iconic!
Wow, This mad upload schedule!
Tekashi69, Lil Xan, Lil Pump, and Lil Yachty have been the biggest names in rap music recently, so hip-hop has declined even further.
Rakim respects the ART....respects the new generation....yet lets you know there are areas of responsible lyrics that needs to be promoted
The greatest - Rakim
With all do love and respect to Rakim, the first half of what he said only was right. When he was coming up and in his prime rap meant something because he talked about life and being a product of his environment and those lyrics meant something. Today's garbage that you call rap and hip Hopyou don't even understand what people are saying and it revolves around the same thing.
Now a lot of you may be saying oh stop acting old wrapping your time with garbage but guess what 50 to 100 years old I bet you I can play Eric B and rakim or Wu-Tang clan and it'll still mean something to people and they can appreciate it but this lil pump crap, nobody won't even know that he existed 50 to 100 years from now let alone a year from now. That's the ultimate difference between rap of my generation and today's garbage.
Agree. There names they come up with. 😲 They put a lot of heart love into it. Today's stuff is rubbish.
Rackim Flowing Real Don he one M .C.flowing from heart of life Rackim Real Don .
Big Facts!
Mad Love.
Nowadays everybody is a fuckin' DJ, until you put a pair of turn tables in front of them!
TheBiggestReason Haaaaaaaaa Haaaaaaaaa So Fuckin True
TheBiggestReason nowadays, everyone wants to be a DJ, nowadays, everyone wants to be that nerd. It sickens me.
Turntabelist uses records obviously. And an amateur use those machines that don't need records but got all the sound effects and scratching sounds. Sounds dead and dull like some of those drum machines. Turntabelists like Terminator x and all the other guy's of that era used records. And there technique of changing the records with no breaks in between is a art form.
Hip Hop died and can only be resurrected by new artists who think outside the box like Rakim did. Like he said it was about making art not money. Todays female and male rappers will sell their souls to get a record deal. They'll strip, grind and mumble themselves to the top just as long as the G's are coming in.
Al bring the goat album tell the promotioners
Rakim still looking good 😎
this is so true? it's a lot money on the table! the good music must come out and mc's change with time...now its bout flavors....
The GOD!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The GOD
Music defines a generation. I won't say anymore.
I don't even call this new trash hip hop...I call it crip hop.
Rn hiphop is on a business man business man pls gim mi moni. And in 80 n 90 it was like fuck u business man ima do my own shit
Don't sweat the technique brings me here.
Long Live da god MC!!!
Living legend like having pac alive
Rakim was dead right. With people like Chance and Run The Jewels being the mainstream, the artistic side of the game is winning over once more. What sells now is expression and depth.
🙏🙏🙏😇👌
He made this 6 years ago the current state of rap was nowhere near how bad it is now wonder what he thinks now
🤗
I would to c RAkim and MC shan do a song together that would be so hot
0:49 I want to believe Rakim
Well RA...it's been at a learning stage for a while now lol
What's this man's age ??damn black people age so wonderfully
51. Dam he looks half that age. You are right they look way younger than what they look😎
If we still have rapper like MC shan and KRS one RAkim LL cool j RUN DMC knae Nas hip hop will be back
you tube dummy control division I know but they still got skills and could rap better than the new school rapper today let go old school rapper
As much as I love most of those guys, hip-hop is a young man's game. There's nothing wrong with veterans still putting out records as long as they find new inspiration and can stay ahead of their competition, but we need fresh new faces. Nobody was checking for Kurtis Blow or The Sugar Hill Gang in the 90's, so why should we depend on older rappers today when they are past their prime?
My man aged well!
Please come back to rap!
u were u are are apart of them
拿着麦克风的上帝！
Rakim Allah, the r, the ,18"the letter, the God m.c. nuff said
Prace7
Rakim=Educated
Only Eminem for now who does not rap about money things haha
Rakim is wrong. If the music consumer really wanted that "real" hiphop, clowns like 2Chainz, Young Thug and other wack rappers wouldn't be so popular...
real hip hop Is not on the radio Everyone u just named is a radio rapper
and things on the radio are played because of popular demand.
Stevie Del Ray Opinion
Except thats why Kendrick just outsold Drake, even if Drake is a "master" at his supposed "craft"
Not really Stevie, think about it. Everything you listen to now is controlled. The news etc... People are like sheep. They need to be told what to do and listen to. You plant things they grow. This music we had today was planted here and there 20 yrs ago. Somebody out there knows human psychology and so on. Just something to think about.
Naw you're the one that is wrong Rakim know's exactly what he is saying
3rd view
The only hip hop I'll listen to is pre 90's. After that, strait up garbage message to our youth. Destroyed them. Not all of it. But a very big portion...strait garbage.
Hip hop is soo demonic now
lol shut up Rakim love you but "Paid In Full?" lol damn come on.
Rap is rock bottom now sadly 😔
Its horribly ridiculous now. Fake af
