Because that on his interviews DMX is usually high or angry but DMX is very happy to meet Rakim for the first time and Rakim is also giving DMX his props and his respect.
Look, anyone who doesn't realize how huge Rakim is in the hip hop world, just look how DMX is in absolute awe of him, DMX ain't like this with nobody else...Rakim Tha God no doubt
@@mahjidtarantino499 As Rakim spits on "Classic": Age dont count in the booth, when your flow stays submerged in the fountain of youth! Rakim is a super hero to every true hiphop fan.
The amount of hugs they shared amongst each other was beautiful! X gave Rakim his flowers and Rakim gave X his. Praise the Most High for the both of them. RIP DMX
I love this! DMX is a damn legend himself and still acted like a kid in a candy store when he met the God MC. Nowadays, these lil one-hit wonder kids pay no respect to the ones who paved the way smh. Kids, take notes!
As black men we need alot more of this in the world of hip hop so many young rappers are dying at an alarming rate the rappers they idolize are outliving them. The young generation I'm not saying all of them just seem to be lost just amazing to see a legendary moment like this it made my day such mutual respect. Rest in power brotha Earl (DMX) S.
Today rap is gengster stupid..back then just have fun..and make money...the label corrupt generation with woman and drugs... Rakim also geng before but he bever glorified it
What makes this so great is not only does it contain two of hip hops greatest legends, but to see DMX be a true fan. Happy, smiling, reciting lyrics like a regular fan just meeting their favorite artist for the first time, thats dope!!!! In hip hop we are all forced to be hard and tough all the time and X let his guards down and enjoyed the moment. Even got Rakim to smile a few times, which is something he rarely do
The artist & real fans know the extent of the mental depths that Rakim goes to in his rhymes is nearly impossible to reach. Rakim demonstrated the art at the highest form.
I have watched this many times over the years and I will say this. In all the videos and interviews I have seen with DMX, I have never seen him like this. This isnt just love, this is respect. Rakim is the GOAT to me.
This is what I like to see. 2 real proper hip hop legend s showing love to one another. Bullshit all this Cardi b beef with I think Nicky Minaj. This is real MCs showing love to one another. God bless them both
It makes you teary eyed, just watching this.. no matter how big and famous you are there is always someone who influenced you and its awesome to meet someone you've admired from afar, and let them know how they inspired and impacted your life. This is real Love and respect!!!
Rakim is a real lyricist. Straight hard core and real street, but about being real, WITHOUT cursing. That's a gift and real skills. Vocal ability is a gift from the Creator that is passed to us. We create with our ability to verbally communicate. I'm glad to see X is still here and moving forward.
Me too and he's one rapper I have to meet one day because what he means to hip-hop and how much he impacted my childhood. I'd actually rap the whole ghetto song because the lyrics are so dope. I'd be a real fan.
English class. 10th grade. Turned in a slightly modified version of Paid in Full as my poetry assignment. Teacher thought I was a genius. Met him at a concert last year. Truly one of the high points of my life...for real.
This is wild on so many levels: Their energy levels are at opposite ends of the spectrum, R is laid back as hell while X is rambunctious....and Rakim is only 3 years older than X!
Mutual respect. Doesn't take anything away from their reps or their manhood. Spread that shit around the entire rap/hiphop world. Youngsters take note.
I been watching this video every few months for the past couple of years because the love and energy in this exchange is so contagious. Two undisputed legends/icons giving each other their flowers. Hits different now that X is gone. RIP to the Dark Man X. All dogs go to heaven.
I know Kane got his flow nice, but I also think that Rakim is deeper with his rhymes that is way I go with Rakim like DMX, I respect more when M.C. has deeper rhymes than nice flow...
The love between DMX and Rakim is like they're kindred spirits..The same person in two different bodies .. Loved to see that Love between two Thorough dudes !
Everything about this video makes me happy. #1) You have a legend in hip hop paying homage to another legend that paved the way for him. I mean X is happy like a kid and that's to be respected cause these new school young cats are arrogant and disrespectful and seem to forget who made it possible for them to spit the garbage they be spitting. #2) by this video having over 25,000 views and not one single thumbs down let's me know there are still some people in this world with sense!
+Preacha Tim: DMX said he is going to make a come back to music and also do a lot more movies. I can't wait for his comeback because all you here nowadays is Drake is this Drake is that people talk about him like he is some rap legend his music is pure trash man in my opinion just like Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, & Rick Ross I could go on and on. One thing I hate about the rap game at times is that you got rappers like Joe Budden, Young Buck, Ludacris, Scarface, Jadakiss and more that are so underrated in my opinion who work there ass off two put out that real Hip-Hop music but seem to get drafted to the side because all rappers today are all talking about the same shit which is Guns, Cars. Money & women and they all sound they same. It's sad two see what the rap game has become nowadays but on the bright side there are still some legendry rappers still going like Eminem, Dr.Dre, Snoop Dogg, LL Cool J, The Game. Ice Cube, Redman & Method Man, 50 Cent and more. #OLDSKOOLHIPHOP
OMG, I never knew this content existed...JEEEZ!! This is a sharing of two BLACK MEN BEING THEIR NATURAL INTERNALLY BEAUTIFUL SELVES. The Respect was just so PURE.
DMX is such a human. I feel if he had some help along the way, as we all need, he´d still be here today. RIP. Much love and deep respect to Ra, the prophecy professor.
Two legends showing mad love and respect for one another. Good to see two of the greats showing love and not beefing for a change. Stay up X and Rakim. Much love.
id pick DMX over jayz any day of week, jayz had classic in his early career, dmx had classic, but dmx was always better in my eyes... keep doing your thing my dude

Mr. Perfect because Jay's discography song for song, nobody beats him, in terms of hits. DMX was dope but he couldn't maintain making music at a high level.
Rakim don't need no introduction.I felted dmx .I know it was hard for him to keep his composure,standing next to Rakim.I probably would of been shaking;trying to play it off.
Me too, people do now a days do not know the value of Rakim, what he contributed and the blueprint he laid which changed the whole rap game back in late 86/87..lyrically depth, complex rhymes and flow unprecedented..
That video had my eyes watery a bit,real hiphop,black men showing love and respect to each other Rakim speaking on how NYC was down for awhile then DMX came,I remember that era like it was yesterday.
This was the dopest shit - the love that dudes show Ra is crazy... gotta love X for showin that much love for the God and the R for giving it right back... straight up this shit was legendary - excellent post bruh
Geniune. You know these two guys made each others year during that meeting. Such mad respect between the two. No egos, no jealousy, no bullshit, just straight up respect and love. Love to see that. RIP DMX
this is so dope to see two hip hop legends humble as ever.... its nice to see two of the rawest talents come together with love.... i would like to see a 3-4 song ep with these two
I felt like a kid at a rap candy store. Love DMX with his genuine self paying homage to the leader Taking. Pure elation watching this. May God bless them both
Watched Rakim on The Breakfast Club, then DMX on GQ and then TH-cam finally recommended this!!! This totally made me smile... Real recognizing Real.. Both legends..
I'm from Texas but I grew up listening to Rakim and other rappers from NY .....to see Rakim and DMX was priceless, salute to greatness at it's finest....well done gentlemen 💯👊
It's crazy cuz they're close in age but you see the respect and admiration that X has for Rakim (and vice versa). DMX was so happy you would have thought this was a young kid meeting his hero, and maybe that's really what it was.
I was blessed to have the honor of meeting and chopping it with DMX out here in AZ, and he was as humble and down to earth as he is here. Made ME feel like the star. It hurt deep when my brother passed, still does. To see the joy and honest adulation he has for Rakim, does make u shed tears, because In the world we are in now, we need legends like this. Salute, D, may u be resting in paradise until jugdement day for all. 💪🏽🦁👑👊🏼🎤🌹🌹💯💯💯💯💯
that's fukin priceless..... everyone knows rakim was the bridge from the whodini kurtis blow era to the 90s golden era n just as things were getting soft in the late 90s DMX comes n lights a fukin fire with the most amazing fomula of bringing the grimy street shit with a beat everyone could like n feel ......just 2 monsters in hip hop n 2 see the respect X gives 2 the forefathers is amazing
