Amazing artist.

After 12, I'm worst than a Gremlin
Feed me hip hop & I start trembling

That shyt really caught my imagination as a kid....But I was soon to discover it was only the tip of the iceberg when it came to Rakim

 

[Inspect Her Deck]

The original GOAT



When I listen to Lyrics of Fury or The Punisher to this day, I still go

 

[Mike the Executioner]

A furified freestyle, lyrics of fury
My third eye make me shine like jewelry
You're just a rent-a-rapper, your rhymes are minute made
I'll be here when you fade, to watch you flip like a renegade



Stop bugging, a brother said "dig 'em," I never dug 'em
He couldn't follow the leader long enough so I drug 'em
Enter danger zone, he should arrange his own
Face it, it's basic, erase it, change your tone



Like the great Rakim....when I make my notes.
