I agree, Rakim gave birth to the 90's hip hop. Without Rakim's word play there would be no Nas, Biggies, or Tupacs. Even this new era has Rakims influence because he was one of the first MC's to build his rhymes in a melodic manner. Rakim literally used his voice like a instrument and is a groundbreaking legend. So for those who dislikes his music they still cant deny his impact. Rakim is most likely their favorite rappers, favorite rapper.
Man 90s will live forever. Back when rappers had bars after bars. Also videos were dope af like how they be standing in front of murals, behind fences and shit as they getting their point across!
The scene with him flowin on the roof top with eric b posted up and the bridge in the background was dope as fuck made them projects look grittier and sadder. Glad they did it in black and white too.
We shot this in the projects in Alphabet City, Avenue A and 14th maybe. 1991 I think. Was a rough shoot. Residents were throwing bricks and cinder blocks off that roof at us.
They cut the first verse because he was 8uildin on the Original man being sole controller of the Universe and also teaching his seeds about Colored man being exiled into the Caves of Europe for his trouble making...Actual Facts!!
These two were running with some real life thorough dudes at this time, the REAL 50cent and the paid in full posse were getting it for real and I never once heard em bragging on any street stuff ... respect due !
When everyone talks about the greatest rappers of all time they will always say nas, biggie, Tupac but will never mention rakim. A lost legend is what he is and he needs to be put back out there
Rakim is the realist rapper I ever hurd ,some say 2pac the Greatest or Biggie was the Greatest .....But I say Rakim was the Greatest that ever hold the Mic !!!
I'am 19 an this is where i find Peace ! I'am too far away from the Music that my generation listen to and i don't plan to follow the way where they're going.
Maria Osorio You could argue that point, but we would have to go back in time to pull Rakim's file. Eminem has copied a quite of bit of ppl's flows: Redman, Young Zee, Treach, and Rakim. He has studied us very well. It's in his nature. I can't say anymore. I've already said enough.
People do not realize that hip hop has roots in spiritual awareness. Zulu nation, 5 percent nation, black empowerment etc. Hip hop was a renaissance, that featured, dance, art, music and fashion.
Yup this new generation Is bringing it Back sort the speak especially in the Beastcoast Lead by The MC out of Brooklyn with a lot of Promise, Joey Bada$$, Kendrick Lamar from Compton,
You have to give Props were its Due. Rakim paved the way for a lot of Lyrical Rappers today from 2pac,Nas & Big. Even Eminem, I mean the man was a Lyrical God with intelligent Rhyming. And this is coming from a True 2pac fan!!

Bless up fam. Thanks for sharing this link. This is one of my favorite videos of all time and I haven't seen the full version in more than 10 years. Good looking out!!! Nuff respect!!
"NO MORE PROPS I WANT PROPERTY IN EVERY BOROUGH" How many people caught that when he said that? Buy some land and hold on to it. That dude was dropping knowledge more than Public Enemy.
As much as I love music like this, we can never return to this. Times have changed, technology has changed. Starter jackets, coogi sweaters, kangol, are all in the past. The best we can hope for is progression in the right direction. A rebirth. For hip- hop culture to find its place in this new day and age. Thats all I want.
Greatest rap group ever! Greatest MC ever! Greatest DJ ever! Anybody see Michael Bivins and Dolemite cameos. These dudes weren't a rap group, they were a revolution.
I meant to say. Rakim, KRS 1 and a few others had the heart to come in New Experience and got mad love from the money getters and the money takers. Real dudes no what I'm talking about. No guns clowns. No beefing over nonsense. Just cooling out blazing and haven the hottest sister in the joint rolling with you.That's what is missing, the fun, love and respect we use to have and show one another. Peace im gone. .One love to my dude Rasheed from the Bricks (I T B).We up. .
I remember going to fortgreen to visit my cousins stopping at my grandmother's house in Sumner projects n being from BUSHWICK in it all was ghetto n nobody was smiling

Rakim's flow is timeless
Rakim, the best MC ever!!!
Is that your real pic?
One of I have some old school lyricists up there in my list
WHO GOT SOMETHING BAD TO SAY ABOUT THAT??
You are a crazy person if you don't understand the fact that the R is the utmost !!

This song deserves more recognition it's a timeless classic
These 2 mins, or so, are better than all of today's songs
Yes they are

Full track is 5mins tho

Rakim,The Greatest MC of all time!!
+Radical Function Greatest alive. Tupac is the greatest!
I'll cosign that !
No....maybe thr most famous and influential icon however greatest MC???........No.
Radical Function what about father MC?
Radical Function I can’t be mad at that, mines is Kool Moe Dee
This man is such a genius, I love his music.
Rakim should be in every body's top 5. Smh
+Anthony Cedeno why? what if I dont like him? thats like saying pizza should be in every humans top 5 foods... everybody got their own tastes
+Anthony Cedeno Rakim is your favorite rappers favorite rapper!
I heard Rakim had a ghostwriter.

Greatest Of All Time!

One of the best songs by them!!! ❤😊❤😊❤
Such an underrated classic. The way he constructs lyrics and flows is one of a kind.
They cut the first verse because he was 8uildin on the Original man being sole controller of the Universe and also teaching his seeds about Colored man being exiled into the Caves of Europe for his trouble making...Actual Facts!!
It aint where you're from, it's where you're at
@@cyberprompt where the hell you at?
Some bs they won't cut the all the genocide hip hop.
@MiiiĆHÄËL ÄFRiiiCÄ TUCKER I was gonna say that, I just listened to it.
wonder why it was like that
The black n white Filter makes it so cool
Incognito and taking it easy
mind keeps traveling I be back after I stop and think about the brothers and sisters in Africa
Of all songs they decide to cut off half way....
VEVO don't want the folks to hear that knowledge he was speaking the first verse

they always say those people for a reason 🙃
People who REALLY KNOW HIP HOP will put him where he belongs, trust me brother.
Those who know, know.
Rakim IS THE GOAT. Hands down!
Real heads know
My best from Eric B & Rakim
Rakim is the realist rapper I ever hurd ,some say 2pac the Greatest or Biggie was the Greatest .....But I say Rakim was the Greatest that ever hold the Mic !!!
True. I mean 2Pac and Biggie were amazing but they grew up listening up to this guy.
No dout
Precise,
Pac and Biggie are garbage
Pac and BIG was rappers, Rakim its and MC!
I'am 19 an this is where i find Peace !
I'am too far away from the Music that my generation listen to and i don't plan to follow the way where they're going.
mannn, true words. Nice
I feel you, partner
If they ever build a time machine I am going back to THE 90s , peace my brothers and sisters
yeah that too , i would so love the 80s
Master Solo nah yall dont wanna go back to the 80s, you wouldnt have your precious iphones and computers anymore
Hip-Hop means meaningful and strong lyrics,with a chilling music.
Rakim and Eric B does it.
Got this on my phone shuffle. Always find myself just nodding side to side to the beat taking it all in. 💯🔥
Love Rakim! It aint where ya from is where ya at!
Rakim the greatest
youll never catch a smile from eric b, just cold ass stares in every video haha
Rakim is the real MVP
The man who structured lyricism
Joint is cold man this was a hell of a time for rap!!!
goose bumps 25 yrs later still
Rakim rarely smiles... Eric B never smiles!
nobody displayed rhyme patterns equal to Rakim...even till today in 2016.....he is so far ahead it's hard to believe.
fact !
Frank Mc3. I agree.
the excellence is timeless
Man I fuck with Rakim but I'd have to argue Eminem is up there, close if not equal
Maria Osorio You could argue that point, but we would have to go back in time to pull Rakim's file. Eminem has copied a quite of bit of ppl's flows: Redman, Young Zee, Treach, and Rakim. He has studied us very well. It's in his nature. I can't say anymore. I've already said enough.
Planet earth my place of birth. No one can paint a picture like the R.
Eric B is chilling hard Duke stop hateing !!!
Their Music IS Like Poetry, A Movie Scene, REAL Life OF Course👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
