as cheesy as it might seem, it's one of the best tracks on the album. Mainly because of the beat.
Large Pro reproduced it better and rocked it better

rakim was just incredible
Next episode'll be smooth as a Persian
Rhymes everlasting, there'll be no part two
Knowledge is infinite, once I start to
Draw a better picture for your third eye, if you're blind
You know with a mic, I'm a black Michaelangelo
I'm the brother who ideas are colorful
Giving 'em insight, but giving 'em trouble too
"we gotta use what we got...to get what we want..." COOOL.

18th letter and the master are both underrated as fukk
Ra on that out the universe galaxy cosmic flow 
When I'm flowin, theoretically speakin like a drummer
I take you through the streets to the parks in the summer
Or illustrate, a time and place you never been in
And make you focus on the future after seein the beginning
And my style wilds, like Miles on the trumpet
Volume dial was kind of low, need to pump it

Mahogany is amazing.2nd album: Personally, I don't care for a single song on this album with the exception of "Microphone Fiend." That song is brilliant. The rest? eh. I can appreciate "Follow The Leader" and "Lyrics of Fury" especially if I look at it from a perspective of 88, but the rest of the album?
I don't care about the 3rd album at all. It could vanish from hip hop and I wouldn't miss it in the slightest. That line on "No Omega" --- "you need more light cause yours got dim/Then you get sparked by the Lord Rakim" is ill as fukk tho.
You really enjoy listening to Mahogany in 2016?
"Over me, she’s goin’ crazy
She’ll rub me on my chest and call me Mr. Sexy"
I'm speechless breh.
Especially someone who says they fukk with hardcore shyt as much as you do. The third album should be right up your alley. You really don't like In The Ghetto?
Yo, my never-ending epic, got the world spinning hectic
I quickly spread it, till the whole city's infected
Suspense that I supply intensify
Then commence as my daily events go by
You get involved in this, paragraphologist
Narratin novelist, market this, sound marvelous
I'm the star in this, which means the author's authentic
Most definite, every episode's a epidemic
So when you research, check it, here go the evidence
They represent with lyrical negligence for presidents
My science existed, without the fiction
Every inscription is a special edition
So all hail the honorable, microphone phenomenal
Persona is unbombable, trust me son
I continue like a saga do, bringing you the drama to
Allow you that the chronicle has just begun
I see you're arguing with some bum I have on my ignore list
Oh, How the fukk did I forget about this joint????
jesus christ!!
jesus christ!!
@SirBiatchI see you're arguing with some bum I have on my ignore list
He said the only good song on Eric & Ra's second AND third album was Microphone Fiend. He specifically dissed Mahogany.
I'm speechless.
I love hardcore shyt. But it's gotta be interesting. Microphone Fiend goes hard but it's dope. Other Rakim tracks are hard but not interesting, especially in the beat side of things
@ Not caring for a single song on the Follow The Leader album apart from 1
one of the most retarded things I've ever read.
I can't argue with what you find interesting best wise.
I'll say this though, I think Large Pro ghost produced part of the third album.
I see you're arguing with some bum I have on my ignore list
then you won't see how pathetic this sounds:
"hey yo, I notice dude and I'll even bring him up in convo but I'm ignoring him, and I want everyone to know that."
