rakim was so ahead of his time lyrically

[pointproven214]

the "R" is in the house-too much tension!
Make sure the system's loud when I mention
Phrases that's fearsome...
You want to hear some sounds that not only pounds but please your eardrums;

Rakim was ahead of this time lyrically dudes still have not caught up to him.

And like Nas, Eminem, G Rap , Slick Rick and Master Ace...Lyrically he just keeps getting better as the years go by.

 

[The Ruler 09]

True, Rakim is and was incredible.

@BaronX is there multi is in this rhyme dog

Ya boy in the house with the big dikk
Pull up on ya man and hit a big lick
All he heard was a click click from my big dikk
That wasn't me that way my bae (shout 2 Johnny)
Next day I'm like hayyyyy

of the big 5, (KRS, Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, Kool G Rap and Slick Rick), Rakim is my favorite. I always like how metaphysical his rhymes got. Felt more imaginative than his contemporaries.

Rakim
Kane

Didn't you make a thread saying that rakim didn't master the style first.

Anyway, Rakim was incredible but Melle Mel might have been more ahead in his time ( tho I rank Rakim above Mel).
