Not surprised Rakims technique is the base for modern lyricism. Masters learn from other Masters that came before. Makes me wanna go dig up some Coltrane.

To be honest, I prefer Ra when he was on his simple but sleek shyt e.g. Microphone Fiend. Than when he got all 'flow-bending' like on Follow The Leader and No Omega. Great rhymes, but them shyts were largely offbeat.

Great video, though. Masters learn from other masters.

y'all seen this? @1:06 forward. and Ra's reaction
