    The fact that everybody ain’t on their feet during Rakim’s performance is a disgrace to the culture, this man is a legend. There would be no Jay, Nas or Biggie without him.

    I hate to be an old fogey but I gotta be an old fogey. The level Rakim and LL Cool J brought it was DIFFERENT. NO RAPPING OVER VOCALS. Breath control, presence, energy. Even with Ra being laid back it still felt like a moment. Live band, DJs. Plural. Just ... man. This is how it should be done. They styles are identical to NONE.

The fact that he can still rock the crowd like this almost 40 years later is incredible. I'd urge any young person to study the history of hip hop. It's a rich art form. Highs and lows but it speak on our struggles as a black people or anyone who grew up in an urban environment. Every era has something you can learn from it.

      Let's just be honest most of the new artists probably ain't been grinding long enough it shows from the content of their music, from the way they record,down to how they perform that's why hip-hop is dead, this microwave music don't hold weight compared to artists of the eighties and nineties and earlier 2000s sad.

It's hard to get 20 classic albums out of this century alone. I just turned 52 & i cosign what @chasenickles260 is saying. Rap/Hip-Hop went from being a beautiful amazing artform that we called the Black CNN to a bunch of degenerate, ratchet bullshish! Most of these new aged rappers can't sell records or sell out shows.

I’ve watched him all these years and have learned and taken from him how to be who you are as an individual, he’s definitely a huge influence and inspiration in my life.
