Rakim says he’ll knock MC Serch the fukk out

the post says after they wrote it for themselves the rakim shyt came up, then they tweaked it
Good point. I went back and watched the Serch/Vlad interview and he describes writing the record for Rakim after Lyor asked. Which is completely inconsistent with what Pete says. Plus I agree with you that Pete was saying they wrote the record and then tweaked it for Rakim.
I hope Pete Nice has another “ Rat b*stard “ Serch diss on deck
If he could somehow shake off the
, I'd check for it. Pete Nice was underrated. He was a great lyricist. Top 5 white MC. His solo album was dope, just no "Pop Goes The Weasel" hits on it. Mean beats, too. 3rd Bass was definitely a "whole greater than the sum of its parts" situation.

Ra got hands tooSearch made sure to clear this up to avoid another Hammer situation.
never heard Rakim get on some gangsta shyt so you know he was serious.
Considering the crew he came up with, he probably had to, or he would have been food.

Jews scheming on the gods what else is new. Eric B must have "talked" to serch again
The crazy part is, Serch didn't even say it like that, like "yeah, I ghostwrote this for Rakim and he released it...". He explained it in detail already what happened with that, whoever this is doing the interview with Rakim gave him sloppy intel because he wanted a viral moment or he is just terrible at his job and did no real research (probably the latter) and got a civilized man to almost get out of character with silly net threats. These interviewers/bloggers today are disgusting, Rakim and Serch should both publicly shyt on this interviewer.

The idea in the 80s that Eric B. or Rakim would be open to a ghostwriter is passively questioning their integrity and/or inflating Lyor's importance to the creative process. You don't seek out ghostwriters without talking to the group first or you are out of pocket. Now anyone Lyor asks to ghostwrite or anyone he and his ghostwriter talk to about the situation thinks Rakim is open to using ghostwriters when he isn't.
The subtext here is not all stories need to be told. Even if Serch is being honest he should have just kept the incident to himself. He and Lyor fantasizing about being a part of an Eric B. and Rakim record is not all that interesting in the grand scheme of things.

Rah is a civilized nikka from a crew of murderers. If he say he gonna steel MC Serch he means it.
