Rakim > Jay Z

[Why-Fi]

"I ran like a cheetah" is a dope similie

if you mean nas he said he ran like a cheetah towards a mac 10 lying in the grass. have you ever seen a cheetah bolt from a complete stand still or change direction at full speed in mid air? its not just words its meant for you to picture whats being said

Case in point. nikkaz think counting to 21 and running like a cheetah is dope so I can only imagine the shyt yall not catchin on RD. Its just a whole nother level to Jay lyrics that these kindergarten ass nikkaz cant reach.

[The Ruler 09]

thats cuz most rap fans are idiots and cant pick up on his entendres... we got fakkets like @mobbinfms and @The Ruler 09 not catchin shyt in Reasonable Doubt and that was almost 20 years ago. Shoulda seen how astonished that fakket was when I recently showed him the "Down 4 Whateva aint Nuthin Nyce" line....

With a dumb fan base in hip hop you have to dumb down, these are the same nikkaz who are impressed by Rakim counting to 21 and who think "I ran like a cheetah" is a dope similie

Jay shyttin on this nikka

What are you talking about you dikkhead? Reasonable Doubt is a great album that I like a lot, and get, so keep making shyt up as expected from your punk bytch ass. But it's corny and boring. Still haven't replied to the Jay Z vs KRS one thread p*ssy. Prove your more of a coward and a liar each day.

And regarding the topic, don't act like that's Ra's only line, with your extremist stannish warped approach, I'ver never hyped the line, it's a cool litle lined delivered nicely and that's all, but Rakim has several great lyrics. He's proved he's a better lyricist than Jay, particularly after Reasonable Doubt.

 

[Rakim Allah]

he wasnt counting to 21 he was saying it takes that many to be worth his time. an mc for every letter in his name

its some bboy shyt and something that jay himself im sure would tell you is an ill ass verse

It's some Godbody sh!t as well...Cat is sh!ttin on the 7 EMCEE Theory that given to us in 86.

not taking anything away from jay, but for me its just a matter of appealing to the imagination and pushing the thought process...as opposed to hey look at me saying all these clever things

I feel you, except counting to 21 and running like cheetahs doesnt push my thought process. You know what does? Clever lyrics that take thought to come up with. So while you dont have to be the best lyricist to be a dope rapper we shouldnt mistake music you happen to like with being dope lyrically.

"Nice big plate of fish which is my favorite dish"

I mean we cant really be actin like this shyt is better than Jays shyt. When nikkaz do it only shows me that they not listenin.

 

[MMM]

no

I never heard anyone saying that Rakim line was better than any of Jay Z lines.

"Some of my rap patterns still surround Saturn"

Rakim is unfukkwitable

 

[Rakim Allah]

Maybe it's just me but I've never heard these multitude of people claiming that "Nice big plate of fish which is my favorite dish" or "ran like a cheetah" were these extraordinary lines. This is the first I'm hearing of it.
