I tear up and get goose bumps watching this! The greatest lyricist and the greatest and most influential emcee of all time, LITERALLY changed they way people wrote and rhymed and their approach to content. He changed Hop Hop! Pharoahe Monch said it best when he said everything in hiphop should be called AR which means after Rakim because it changed after he came in and obliterated everything and everybody! So many people on record publicly saying he is the GOAT, people like: Pharoahe Monch, Black Thought, Ice Cube, Snoop, Trey Dee, Kurupt, NAS, Canibus, GhostFace, Eric Sermon, Parrish, Raekwon, 5O Cent, Bustah Rhymes, Scarface, DMX, Guru, Grand Puba, Brother J(C-Clan), D.O.C., Blackalicious, Styles P. GrandMaster Caz, Chuck D., Will Smith just to name a few have all said that Rakim is the GOAT!
Go look at Flav getting it in their original video. Maybe C-Walking was influened by Flavor Flav, at least on some level. Just noticed it and wondering if I'm alone in my observation.
I really love the emphasis put in at 1:12 when he said Remember Me recognize the context check the content still the one most favorite MCS still getting ideas from One and Only 18th letter
Flave just stole the show, not taking anything from Eric B. & Rakim some of the pioneers of the hip hop scene for the 80's which was my generation and no one from this generation will never ever experience what we did...✌
Growing up in Strong Island NY cats like Rakim Flavor Flav and Public Enemy Epmd Dela Soul Biz Markie Freedie Foxx Keith Murray Grand Daddy I U Method Man Craig Mack may he rest in peace and Prodigy from Moob Deep just to name a few made Long Island proud. Cats like Rakim and Flavor Flag and Biz Marlie were beloved all over NYC and respected by thoro boro cats because they showed NYC these ghetto suburban hoods of Nassau County and Suffolk County were just as hood fly ghetto and we were knee deep in this Hip Hop culture too. Rakim and these cats put Strong Island NY on the map and our impact on the Golden era of Hip Hop can't be denied with all these acts plus more like Leaders of the New School Buster Rhymes MF Doom Soul for Real Groove B Chill Money Harm A Plus Ashanti Prince Paul JVC Force and today Roc Marciano
Bro!!!! What yoooooo . We need a reunion tour right now. Def jam summer fresh fest .. omg let's goooooo . Them public enemy run DMC epmd omg ... Let's show this kids how concert was in our day
If Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince were as hard as Eric B. and Rakim are, this is how their reunion would be, with Kid n' Play doing their dancing piece.
I would say as far as Hip Hop as a whole , They Don't Honor those that founded the genre , the only dudes that get Respect are Rakim , Tupac , Biggie , And Nas But they dont honor the others . Just sayin
If this young generation only knew how much shit like this makes us old heads feel. Incredible.
Over 30 years and flavor and Rakim come together to redo their classic!!!!
Should be Rakim verzuz Big Daddy Kane instead of KRS 1 verzuz Big Daddy Kane.
Yo seeing this felt SO GOOD right now. Yo.... if you don't get chills when watching this you're either dead or not watching this.
True shit my guy
No question. This track just freeze you. Everytime I hear it reminds me why no one ever tested Rakim.
chills for sure....
Tears!!! This made me feel so happy inside! Hiphop!

Small list of folks that could run on stage and give Rakim a head rub like that. That is true love and friendship type stuff. This was beautiful.
Flave just stole the show, not taking anything from Eric B. & Rakim some of the pioneers of the hip hop scene for the 80's which was my generation and no one from this generation will never ever experience what we did...✌
Never was a name so fit for an artist. Flavor!
