WTF @ Rakim

[FreshAIG]

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

Literally nothing you said makes him an ass. Youre just typing a bunch of nothing. From all interviews Rakim comes off super humble. How he is in real life I couldn't say but what you're talking is foolery.

Saw the god MC Rakim at Rock The Bells in 2007 at Randalls Island on stage in front of a crowd of 10,000 people.



It was truly epic.

Breh them old Apollo Arsenio and Soul Train crowds in the 80s was always lit. Idk what it was. But every video I see of Soul Train or Apollo from like 85 to 91 it's like that them nikkas was even turned up for Mary Wilson when was on.

I never understood what "ABC" meant given rappers still use couplets nowadays and will continue to.
By that logic is every single emcee who has used that format, full under that category?




Even then most emcees use 3-4 syllable multis for end rhymes, so I'm still lost on this whole idea. Mfw, most Rap listeners don't know show about how rhyme schemes work in terms of literature and linguistics.

I think he meant stuff like this.

dude is a dikk, you hear and see nothing but negativity with that dude. how can someone make your forgoten ass a tribute and you are snarling trying to shyt on them.

gtfo, crying ass bytches. rakim rides the bus, enough said. and dude just bitter, fck i need an autograph, rakim time long gone and he is just remembered for tailoring a style that was trending and being one of the faces of the 80s scene. his in no top 5, and other artist and producers dont speak of him fondly.

That sh*t is fire

 

[Vinny Lupton]

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

bacc in the day if you were wack, people would boo and throw shyt
all the old 80s and early 90s performers still do good performances to this day
today, if someone does a wacc show, people will say "hes getting his money tho" and snapchat it anyway
