"I contribute...75-80% of what I do, to school work..." These are the words of a educated man, and it is evident through his body of work. Big ups to Rakim.
That's why I got love for this cat he's a deep thinker, and as a Black man to be this conscious it's what young brothers need to gravitate to and stop killing each other!
Damn, to maintain the level of respect Rakim has ...for 26 years ..in a culture that's supposed to be youth culture ...that's something remarkable!! Steadfast, pure NYC Hip Hop standard setter and representer!!!
Nice interview with music rapper Rakim. Rakim, Willie D of Geto Boys, MC Ren of NWA, Redman, 2Pac Shakur(RIP), Gang Starr(RIP Guru), Ice T, Foxy Brown are my favorite music rappers.
He mentioned Wale and J.Cole and those are my top two! And they happen to be releasing their sophomore albums on the same day! Can't wait! June 25th... gonna be a HOT SUMMER!
RAKIM THE GOD.......inspired me to return 1989............i came out 1977-81;; THERE WILL BE NO OTHER.......... RAKIM GOD..................... IM GOING TO BE ON YOUR LABLE......keep your name going......Ra RECORDS
He is the Coolest, Best and Greatest Mc's ever. He is the meaning of HIP HOP, true to his audience (US) and himself. I have respect... From land as far as Zanzibar, yes Rakim we are listening to you God...
death does not exist! that's kinda stupid to be afraid from something that does not exist. but respect to Rakim for being one of the best MC's. one love!
He never let's anyone in ....the kid has the depths of the ocean....but he really guards it in the interviews.......but then boom holy you are the ghetto, juice....
No need to fear death ! Book of Jehovih 2:2 Jehovih said: I created the earth, and fashioned it, and placed it in the firmament; and by My presence brought man forth a living being. A corporeal body gave I him that he might learn corporeal things; and DEATH i made that he might rise in the firmament and inherit My etherean worlds.
no we will not remember our past experience! that's the whole point - not to remember who you really are until you are ready to wake up. and I don't have all the answers i'm on quest myself. all I can say is that in this form of energy (human) in this world life is all about experience - learning from our negative experience and enjoying our positive experience. if you like philosophy than check out Alan Watts: /watch?v=7blUYJm6i-c
I laughed when Ra switch up the person that got snuffed cuz the first time he told the story it was G Rap but I understand he didn't want to keep putting G Rap name in it.
I love you are man keep up the good work I love that you doing to come back man I jam your music all the time please send me a text back and let me know how you feel about this fire fireman

Well i guess youre right about that... but what does the signal mean?
A pure vessel of Hip-Hop.
Can someone please explain to me why Eric B and rakim fell out in detail? About the production?
The definition of Microphone Beast is Rakim.
he is not one of, he IS the greatest mc and lyricist ever
The guy who got punched in the eye was Kool G Rap, (when he was talking about his memorable story)
mad real shit. rakim is the man
rakim is so much more intelligent than current rappers
rakim is chill af
So when we transfer into another form will we still have our intelligence and memories intact from this form ? I'm trying to understand..
What book is 120 is it 120 the sodum?
Great dude.
GREATEST rapper EVER!!!

The king of new york
Peace to Rakim.

Rakim invented the wheel. Ricky D, PAC, Nas, Dre....genius.....but he invented what they do
Ricky D was before Rakim.

No need to fear death !
Book of Jehovih 2:2
Jehovih said: I created the earth, and fashioned it, and placed it in the firmament; and by My presence brought man forth a living being. A corporeal body gave I him that he might learn corporeal things; and DEATH i made that he might rise in the firmament and inherit My etherean worlds.
You don't need religion to not fear death.
So he believes in a supreme being....

19:25 the coolest pose a MC could have
Rakim don't be modest and put yourself in the 1st place of your top 5!
All Praises Due To Allah and Rakim!!!
Not even Icarus can touch the Sungod. Ra greatest of all time.
i couldn't tell what kind of cards he had
that soundman that got punched in the eye was Kool g rap
I laughed when Ra switch up the person that got snuffed cuz the first time he told the story it was G Rap but I understand he didn't want to keep putting G Rap name in it.
