Rakim is the greatest rapper i know this brother is better than the rest of them so don't sweat the technique bcuz he got soul nobody's smiling so u better follow the leader he ain't no joke
The "God", since 86', has proven he is the greatest MC of all time. He's the ultimate lyricist, thought-provoking poet, and multi-complex vocalist in the realm of hip-hop. There has never been another since. Only a few others have achieved this plateau with the likes of KRS1, Kool Moe D, Chuck D, Nas, and Melle Mel, but there is only one that sits on the throne...Rakim Allah!
This brother came in the door and change the whole game. I had the pleasure of being in one of his videos Rakim this is a Princz from Albany projects peace
"Returned through the womb of the world as a thought." Pass through the halls of Amenti, Thoth reborn. Perhaps I'm off my square. Provoking none the less. Blessed to have been alive during Ra's time. Thank you brother! One
that ghetto song was sooo. DOPE the way he put his dad into the track and talked about what broth as in USA is going thru truly the ghetto ain't no joke love deep stuff
This was a great interview Rakim was waaaay ahead of his time......... "Ice-grilled, laid-back, diamond-sharp" -Rolling Stone.......... that says it all Rakims a classic OG from "The Golden Age Era" of hip hop humble, genuine and laid back I love how he doesn't curse but still get's his story and message across in his music. He once said he didn't use profanity in his music because he knew his parents would be listening RESPECT right there! R - Rugged and rough that's how I do it. A - Allah who I praise to the fullest. K - Keep it moving. I - Stand alone. M - It's my crown, my world, my throne He aint no joke and he's internationally known!!
I would say to my 86 self if I was Rakim, thank you for not listening to all these people trying to change me doing what I love and how I do it. I came in the door how I wanted, not how you wanted me too. Thank you for being you cause in 2022 I'm still 86 blessing you a head of my time.
This man is humble and polite 😍i like him so much " i grow up to listing to his music and you know what ?? I'm too far ... but his music is so close to me so nice " it give me energy power strong mind " he is pionner of hip-hop and i still listing to his music everytime" i'm from top of africa land and i want to thank you for the fact that you dont turn your back To your artist despite that the time change and the businnes and the mode and the influence BUT you presurve your culture your artiste for new générations... sorry that i can not write correct and can not express my self well 😊😁 but in général you understand what i mean😊 god bless you all i wish you good helth and happyness to all peaple your brother aymen tfifha from top of africa land tunisia🇹🇳
Rakim don't know if you will read this ,but let them all know who the true King is! Cause I do know that you're the BEST 💋💯🇬🇼🇨🇻! SOMETIMES I HAVE TO BE ALL ALONE IN 😘 LOVE!
The Greatest is purely based on ones personal preference, and mentality.. In my opinion I do think 🤔 Rakim is the GREATEST.... i won’t go into why because it’s my own personal reasons.... But I do also recognize that he is weak in certain categories and on that note I’m out 💯
The greatest emcee of all time !!
