The GOAT deservingly HANDS DOWN without dispute. Contribution and skill unparalleled.
Rakim is the Jordan of rap!
This was awesome! Thank you so much for making this 🙏🏿
I remember we were all in my project lobby in the BX and I think we were listening to DJ Red Alert or Marly Marl on the radio and then we heard "My Melody."
That slow and deep voice with the intellect coming out of the speaker, I cant forget, I was like, "who's this dude?!"
All I know was that we was buzzing off of this new kid with the style we never heard before?!
They kept on playin that joint on the radio, and we was eager to keep listening until it came on again because we had never heard a rapper so eloquent, wise, making sense.
The R was dope then, and still is to this very day!! #Salute to Rakim for what you did in the Golden Year of rap! #87 #IwasThere!
That’s a cold piece right there. He was already The R back then.
Thank you for sharing.
The greatest Emcee of all time, I had the pleasure to be in charge of promoting their second album at MCA records and paid n full is the best album of all time period
Bro how does this only have 200 likes, this is such a great doc you especially for being one of the GOD
Man, we absolutely need a full version of that OG Melody. Thats a national treasure waiting to be put out there.
That shit was tight.
@@B1GM0NK Word. Make Rerelease of his entire catalog and include that original cut as well as all of those other demos.
The Melody that I'm stylin'/Smooth as a violin 🎻/ Rough enough to break NY from Long Island....
Long Island and ct we got alot in common as far as being slept on.
...beyond his style becoming my own. Spiritually the path I walked was because of him.💯
Rakim is the greatest lyricist of all time. He is the leaving GOAT 🐐
That original sounds SICK!
No cap, before rappers adopted the style of wearing large gold ropes.
It was Mr. T that started the fashion of wearing many gold ropes. Gold plated bracelets and gold rings on every finger.
I'm just saying if anything Mr. T brought that part ,subconsciously to the Rappers of Hip - Hop culture. If you look at Mr.T's character back then he had that hardcore rapper personality.
Even his name Clubber Lang from Rocky 3 was a hardcore rapper's name.
Shout out to Clubber Lang aka Mr. T. Who was definitely an early part of the Hip -Hop culture. Shout out to the God Rakim who carried the persona of an undisputed lyrical boxing champ. That many rappers feared to get into the ring with. 👑🗣⚡🥊🎙💥👏🏾
Whoooooooa the OG Check Out My Melody!! 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀 He's always been ahead!!
That footage from the Apollo is not from 87…it’s from 91
Don't worry IU, I bought your first album. It was nice!
Born with theee 7's in my head.
No group in hip hop dress better then Eric B. & Rakim, Nobody.
The Greatest by far! There are amazing artists that came before and after, but the role he played and how he perfected it...was insane.
🐐......🤘🏿👑💥🤘🏿
The best ever in this rap) God says not idolize he can't be my idol so he's what ever that's next to that for me
damn where can i hear that original version of my melody ??
Fire Burn...
"Self esteem makes me super superb, or supreme...."
Wow… I never paid attention to that dope line!
" but on the mic I still feind " - "Follow The Leader" dope album!
🙏🏼 Thank you
SALUTE KRAZE!!!!!!!
The GOAT😎🖤
SIP Grand Daddy IU!
The "My Melody" ruff draft was colder than Marley's.
Peace True and Living
10:20 rakim 4 or 5 or 6 yrs ahead of marly n mc shan, cuz he had these flows yrs before
Nobody beats the R so stop yellin.
@26:47 No Limit Larry needs a hip hop history lesson! NO disrespect to Rakim, but how did Rah influence L.L. & Slick Rick?!
L came out in 1984, Slick Rick came out in 1985 & Rah came out in 1986 !
He didn't say Rakim was before...he said Rakim influenced all of them...and he did! I was there.
@@13THPR0PH37 I know what he wrote & I said, how did Rakim influence L & Slick Rick when Rakim wasn't there to influence them???!!! They had their styles before people even knew who Rakim was! So tell me how did Rakim influence them?!
What he meant was alotta cats who had already achieved success had to go back to the lab 💯 👌🏾
Rakim is one of the few emcees to inspire not only his contemporaries but his influencers that even inspired him! You can tell when Kool Moe Dee heard Ra, he took a page out from him and he was the only ol sckool rapper at the time to last longer compared to Melle Mel and Caz into the early 90s. Although Kool Moe Dee is the precursor to Ra, you can tell Ra was a student of his along with Mel and Caz.
God body! Arm leg leg arm head.
SALUTE 2 DA GOD MC .. 👑RAKIM .. #REALHIPHOP #HIPHOPLEGENDSONLY

Marley snake... never did like that cat

The industry is so shady that you can’t trust anything that comes out of any of their mouths. Who the fuck knows who came up with the beat. They all sound like they lying.
