NO
Puff in the 90s would have had Rakim out of his element like Mic Geronimo
I'm cracking up and disgusted just thinking about it

Reminds me of when Lupe fukked up the Tribe lyrics and then was like "I wasn't even a fan of them as a kid"
Not gonna click the vid since I been on that "fukk Vlad" wave. Rakim gets plenty of props...but it's just a fact that hip hop was more popular in the 90s than the 80s, which has helped Pac/Big/Nas/Jay become what they are. You ask the average 30-40yo dude who's into hip hop who his favorite MCs are and he's going to name those four plus some others (Big Pun, Big L, etc). 90s dominates rap talk for that generation in the same way the 60s-70s dominate rock talk for baby boomers.
Or that Nas is just a better artist than Rakim
