Rapping can pretty easily be divided into two eras: "Before Rakim" and "After Rakim." His metaphysical subject matter, complex internal rhyme schemes and cold-as-ice delivery moved the art form forward by leaps and bounds.

its a loop. he didn't play it live through the song. that's a whole different thing. surely he eventually could, but... who knows if he could then. the point is, the loop is necessary because the dynamics of live drums are never perfect. listen close. exact same sound every measure.

Premo And Alchemist are two of my favorites as well as Dre.

Rakim really produced most of their songs. Especially the first 2 albums. He would bring the samples/records to Marley and laid out how he wanted the song to go/be arranged. Making Marley more of an engineer. Rakim should get most of the credit producing, more so than Eric. It's crazy to thing this legendary MC was also musical and provided the sounds for this iconic duo.

I agree that Lil Wayne is mediocre, but Eminem in his prime was dope as fuck fool, what are you talking about? I guess you haven't heard Rakim giving Em major props and calling him one of the G.O.A.T.S. huh?

@lookitsapanther8 жыл бұрын
+Iconoclastic fuck Eminem. Nigga talks ghetto shit like he lived it. Gimmick that was assisted by Dre and them out in Cali. Rakim is just too positive to bash him. Anyone who knows anything about rap knows how insane Rakim is. Rakim is that nigga that hundreds of rappers followed. No one followed Em and his gimmick.
@jimmyjc29698 жыл бұрын
Yeah, you completely missed my point. Gimmick or not, Eminem is a master wordsmith and a top tier lyricist, and anybody with respect for the craft can see that, so long as they put their personal feelings aside. I think you'd be surprised how many rappers "talk ghetto shit like they lived it" but didn't, and Eminem has always been pretty honest about his life and his hardships. I'm not saying he's the G.O.A.T. but to deny his skills on the mic just because you don't like him is childish and insincere. And to say nobody followed him or tried to sound like him is just ridiculous. You must have been living under a rock between 1999-2004, because he completely changed the game and at one point in time, everybody wanted to spit like he did. Maybe a lot of that was a mixture of marketing and his skin color giving him benefits, but a large part of that was his high caliber of skill. I still agree though that nobody can touch Rakim.
@lookitsapanther8 жыл бұрын
+Iconoclastic The Fuck? Yeah back then this shit 🔥 and it still is, but your forgetting about the ones who can rap today like J.Cole, Kendrick Lamar, Logic, Joey Badass, Jay Electronica, etc...

Yeah some of the stuff he said were from 50 and dre but nigga saying he can't rap making you look wack 😐.

I'm sure you're referring to mainstream garbage you hear on the radio. There's still great artists today. Hard to find, sure. But yes, as far as lyrics and the obvious work that was put into writing them, it can be depressing to hear what passes today. Most rap in the 90s still holds. Wu-Tang, the underrated Gravediggaz, for example, still blows me away. Now go listen to that guy with all the shit on his face and pink and blue and green or whatever color hair--who practically flaunts and brags about being a RAT in public--and tell me it isn't sad what passes today. He's probably got like a billion views, a whole generation believes that to be hip hop....okay, I'm sounding old. I'll stop now. Get off my lawn!

Rapping can pretty easily be divided into two eras: "Before Rakim" and "After Rakim." His metaphysical subject matter, complex internal rhyme schemes and cold-as-ice delivery moved the art form forward by leaps and bounds.
Or ''Actual rap'' and ''Bullshit no talent rap''

its a loop. he didn't play it live through the song. that's a whole different thing. surely he eventually could, but... who knows if he could then. the point is, the loop is necessary because the dynamics of live drums are never perfect. listen close. exact same sound every measure.

Word?

Premo And Alchemist are two of my favorites as well as Dre.
Rakim really produced most of their songs. Especially the first 2 albums. He would bring the samples/records to Marley and laid out how he wanted the song to go/be arranged. Making Marley more of an engineer. Rakim should get most of the credit producing, more so than Eric. It's crazy to thing this legendary MC was also musical and provided the sounds for this iconic duo.
Rakim is the godfather of HipHop. His style is G. O. A. T.
"Juice" was such a great movie. Tupac, Samuel L Jackson, and Omar Epps.

One of the best hip hop tracks ever. That intro is killer
G.O.A.T. The man who forever changed rap. Rakim The God.
+Jimmy JC Em has changedrapit for the worse. People accepting that medicore shit as Real Hip Hop allowed all those weak-ass rappers to come along and take over Hip Hop. Now, these kids think people like Em, Little Wayne and the rest of those watered-down rappers is the begining of Hip Hop not realizing their rise represent the end of Hip hop
I agree that Lil Wayne is mediocre, but Eminem in his prime was dope as fuck fool, what are you talking about? I guess you haven't heard Rakim giving Em major props and calling him one of the G.O.A.T.S. huh? Pound for pound Eminem is one of the best lyricists ever, whether you personally like his music or not.
+Iconoclastic fuck Eminem. Nigga talks ghetto shit like he lived it. Gimmick that was assisted by Dre and them out in Cali. Rakim is just too positive to bash him. Anyone who knows anything about rap knows how insane Rakim is. Rakim is that nigga that hundreds of rappers followed. No one followed Em and his gimmick.
Yeah, you completely missed my point. Gimmick or not, Eminem is a master wordsmith and a top tier lyricist, and anybody with respect for the craft can see that, so long as they put their personal feelings aside. I think you'd be surprised how many rappers "talk ghetto shit like they lived it" but didn't, and Eminem has always been pretty honest about his life and his hardships. I'm not saying he's the G.O.A.T. but to deny his skills on the mic just because you don't like him is childish and insincere. And to say nobody followed him or tried to sound like him is just ridiculous. You must have been living under a rock between 1999-2004, because he completely changed the game and at one point in time, everybody wanted to spit like he did. Maybe a lot of that was a mixture of marketing and his skin color giving him benefits, but a large part of that was his high caliber of skill. I still agree though that nobody can touch Rakim.
+Iconoclastic The Fuck? Yeah back then this shit 🔥 and it still is, but your forgetting about the ones who can rap today like J.Cole, Kendrick Lamar, Logic, Joey Badass, Jay Electronica, etc... Hip Hop hasn't completely died yet. Bro and this talk about em...? Em is good and no doubt changed the game and saying he didn't live the life of what he raps. that's were your wrong. Yeah some of the stuff he said were from 50 and dre but nigga saying he can't rap making you look wack 😐.

I just learned in an interview that Rakim couldn't find the right drums to sample so when he hit the studio, he told the Engineer, "Mic that sh*t up!" and proceeded to play the drums for this track. 🔥

monica bella it just sounds so good right now maybe because there was so much good music back then, I took it for granted and just so much crap right now, it just hits different right now ❤️ My cut off that sound track was naughty by nature uptown anthem that base line was just too mean 💯💯
very true bro...
WORD!!!
“I’ll do work with these, like Hercules”. 12 labors of Hercules reference, took me years to appreciate true lyricism by Rakim and others.
I'm 14 and this song is 🔥🔥🔥🔥 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️ 💀💀🔥🔥🔥🔥🗣️🗣️
GOAT! One of the sickest beats and rhymes ever written. 80s/90s was the pinnacle of hip-hop music.
Naaaaaaa 80's and part of the 90's
fr...fr...I'm 31 and I only listen to old school...up to early 2000's they have ok song nowadays few and far in between but old school is where it's at!
85 to 94 @@rakim6466
This song is classic!, still hits hard in 2019
Facts!!
Ghostface also killed this beat not quite as Rakim but promising.
It was a well written song. The 4th verse always been my favorite.
Rs my G
1.4k thumbs down? Well we can see crackheads have viewed this
Rakim looks like somebody that paid his dues(been thru some shit and seen alot of shit and learned.)and he became a somebody.You can tell alot about him on this track.A rap legend in my book 🔥.
Once again Rakim shows us why he is G.O.A.T. Level.
Facts
Eric B & Rakim is still in my playlist daily...at almost 53! We still go hard!
Respect brother! Same.
Doesn't matter how old you are. It's timeless, keep it in your rotation bruh. That's what matters 👌
Hell yeah!!! Same am 50 this year
@@fasteddie617 how old are you???
Check out LYRICS OF FURY......IT'S COLD.
Rakim's rhyme cadence is impeccable. He has no equal.
Thank you that says it all .there is no equal. These kids today haven't a clue
🐐☝🏾
If you aren’t familiar with these two gentlemen, buckle up. There are few bands/duos that are unbelievably talented where it it’s not a matter of opinion. This is one of them.
Finding out Rakim Played The Drums on this, makes this song even more of a classic to me 😤🔥🔥🗽🗽
Back when lyrics were more important than beats... And the beats are still better than 99% of what’s out today!
I agree with you
Yeah the beats are all the same nowadays for the most part lyrics are still around with some beats back then all had different sounds unlike today but there are some bright spots in today still
Eh, even though beats have changed the style nowadays is still dope
I'm sure you're referring to mainstream garbage you hear on the radio. There's still great artists today. Hard to find, sure. But yes, as far as lyrics and the obvious work that was put into writing them, it can be depressing to hear what passes today. Most rap in the 90s still holds. Wu-Tang, the underrated Gravediggaz, for example, still blows me away. Now go listen to that guy with all the shit on his face and pink and blue and green or whatever color hair--who practically flaunts and brags about being a RAT in public--and tell me it isn't sad what passes today. He's probably got like a billion views, a whole generation believes that to be hip hop....okay, I'm sounding old. I'll stop now. Get off my lawn!
the beat was dope tho, eric b did a great job
This era had all the fly shit = rakim+all the of Jordans + nike ish+all the best movies & shows + fab 5 + all 3 Mike's = Jordan/Jackson/Tyson ✌️
Will never be anything like it again.
Le plus grand morceau de l’histoire du rap. C’est du pur Hip-hop !
The ledge means spitting some knowledge facts. Big up Eric b and rakim. Gems here leading the Royal legacy generation
This cut sounds better than music in 2021. Hip Hop in its purest form.

Ageless is defined by the story the lyrics capture, and this one is forever timeless for anyone who knows the streets. Somethings never change.

1:53 Eric B: “all i wanted was to work with a rapper who had skills, i never thought i’d end up working with the greatest of all time”
From what I understand.. when Eric was seeking a rapper to form a group with him back in '85, Freddie Foxx was in the mix.
I listened to the Beastie Boys, Run DMC, and LL from 86-88. Then my friend's older sister put us on to Slick Rick, Rakim, and Kane. My life hasn't been the same since.

She was a wise woman she introduced you to the best music of your life
