Rakim On The Breakfast Club

[NormanConnors]

Why take the bait?




That's how advanced Ra was. He was thinking about the life forms 200 years down the line that we might encounter.

"Born to be the soul controller of the universe"

Yep, the next line ties all of that in perfectly. How else would you start the song off when speaking in that large of a context

LL was not seeing Rakim. KRS wasn't either.

Kane and Rakim were my favorites as a kid and it would've been a great battle but after hearing those bars Rakim had for him I don't think Kane had a chance on wax.

Rakim was just on another level at the time. It might be hard to appreciate if you weren't there but he raised the bar. He made the Shan's, Moe Dee's, and the other guys before him sound average to wack. They were just rapping while Rakim was a lyricist. Only thing comparable is when Nas dropped Illmatic.

Kane would have killed him... Kane even said it

Why didnt he try then, instead of calling the god Ra saying he had no beef

Nas didn't name Ra's kids on UBR. Personally, I think Ra was offended when Nas listed Ra's solo projects and said, "I think something.... The Master" which came across a little dismissive. Also, Nas said Ra dropped an album titled "The R"?

Hell Will bought Illmatic (or at least a Nas single) on the Fresh Prince episode where Ashley had the one-hit wonder song.

I remember that ep but dont remember the nas part

It's when she's doing the autograph signing that flopped. Will comes in all to gloat about the falloff and starts calling out all the albums he's buying instead of hers. He says "Got Nas in the hand "

While grabbing various CDs, Will says something like "ohh... Nas and the fam" (Firm album?)

Nah I think he said "Nas in the house". The episode aired in 94 while illmatic was out, the firm didn't form until 96
