what? no, listen to his first 5 albums. theres 2 songs for the ladies on 18th Letter and they are very listenable
even The Master had some classics, it just wasnt the full project ppl wanted
Rakim had the WOAT comeback for a GOAT

Rakims beats were super wack after 1999. Nobody wants a dated and boring sound. Especially his last album(s) are trash as fukk soundwise. That's not that fly street shyt we love to hear - it's irrelevant old man music and an extreme uncreative and bad take on boom bap.

Just for clarification, Nick Wiz isn't exactly a no-name new jack producer. He has production credits going back over 20 years in the game and he laced the first Cella Dwellas album something lovely.

he seemed to lose his passion for rhyming a while ago very sad
yea Nick did some legendary shyt in his basement lol. Milk & Honey might be my fav non-album Rakim song
What? That album is a classic.

I love Rakim
but to be honest the last time he was relevant among the general masses/radio as a solo artist was this track

Ra is one of them dudes that needs ONE PRODUCER, and they need to find their pocket and stay there.
I always thought he would sound good with E-Dub, but they prolly still got beef lowkey.

He should’ve linked with Jay Elect like Nas did on the untitled joint
Yeah, Nick wiz has a pretty underrated production discography. The cellar sounds compilations he dropped of his 90s shyt are ill.
I haven't heard any of his recent beats but I can imagine he fell off like most 90s UG producers...
But back to rakim, I consider the 18th letter a really ill comeback lp and his last good album. The Master was trash outside of the 2 primo joints.
And no offense to Dre, but I wish primo woulda did a full lp with him around 18th letter era, shyt woulda been classic. Everything he did with primo was fukking fire. I can listen to joints like "New York (Ya Out There)” all day everyday...
