WTF @ Rakim

The St. John's snap back though

Yeah seems like he took himself a little too seriously

I think nas was about to suffer a similar fate but he humbled himself at some point along the way

you noticed that too huh, the publications always used to favour other artist over nas when writing journals. nas used to always have a scowl too, but he lightened up even if hiphop is heavy competition you got to be relatable and make people want you to win (like pac,x,and them) .... while nas was way ahead of his peers he never seemed to get the same love. but everyone loves nas now from andrew garfield to even angie martinez

dude is notorious for being an ass, never smiles, calls himself allah, when nas gave him props he shytted on him, never showing up to the studio, always got a scowl on his face, said em is the greatest so he remains in favorable light to the media (history writers), said wack juelz santana is the greatest out (to appear even better) because the saying goes, if you want to be tall have short friends. ... i dont like that dude at all

this is pretty much trash youre talking. he WAS the GOD mc, and 5%ers call each other God and allah, so its not a big deal. He wasn't that arrogant. If he was he would have openly shytted on his competitors e.g. Kane. He just did his music and KIM.

how the fukk u rock the crowd before u start even spittin..

GOAT level stage presence and aura'

Rakim is greatly under-appreciated by NY.. we would've built a monument for him if he was from Cali

I say this all the time

You have to be a sort of politician in a sense

There's a few local queens rappers that I think could have definitely popped after that 90s golden era if they understood the importance of being the people's champ

 

[the cac mamba]

Performing with the vocals <<<<<

i was gonna say

i mean i guess in a way, its better than nas leaving out half of his every other line

As much as I love and respect Ra, his stage show was wack. He got the crowd hype because his early SONGS were classics, and they carry him while onstage. These videos posted prove just that. Nasir reminds me of him. Peace to Rakim Allah.

Exactly....I've never heard anyone have anything negative to say about Rakim....except a coli poster who has never spent a second around rakim......rakim a "dikk"....only a cac would say something so corny......rakim has given Nas a lot of love in the past, and you right he is 5%......like Jay Z started claiming after calling himself hov......Rakim gets love from his peers....wtf does a coli poster know

. And this is why I fukk with Queens rap above the other boroughs (in general). It's that cerebral but somehow gutter and funky shyt.

I don't know. Maybe? Maybe not.

Rakim had no luv for nikka that wasn't from NY though. He did 2 Live Crew dirty.

It's true, you can spit your alternative fact all you want

 

[R-Typ3]

How does Rakim Allah of all emcees not have style and flow when he's been referenced in style and flow by EVERYONE
