Rakim don't look healthy.
He looks perfectly fine for a 50 year old man.
Whole episode: Rakim: How I MC Rakim: How I MC
yeah i watched something else about rakim, i think it was a documentary on youtube and he got in depth about how they didnt understand his style at all. matter of fact they thought it was corny until one day it just clicked with them and they realized that ra had just changed the game.
being young and hearing rakim for the first time in my older cousin's car was like hearing an alien rhyme or something. i couldnt believe that somebody could be this nice. better than run and cool j who were my favorites at the time. i was just blown away and became the ultimate rakim stan. even had the barber cut my hair just like his lol

Kool Moe Dee's book talked about first time he heard Rakim and had to pull his car over and was like "This the greatest rapper I ever heard in my life"

i can see how you say that, it threw me off to see him without a mustache, never seen him without one. but he looks normal though. i'm gonna go see him on tour next month- i'm so excited even thinking about it. i just need to hear mahogany and it's been a long time live. i always wished that dre album came off but it didn't. i also wish he would have done a full one with premo. i remember hearing dre and premo was supposed to split the production but the creative differences was too much. i'd like to hear a new rakim album over some dope boom bap. was kinda disappointed with the seventh seal production.

i'll go back to re listen, but I remember being disappointed in the album production, I loved the lyrics on it and I loved that first single.
