The 18th Letter is slept on big time. To me this album is him saying “I still ain’t no joke”. He has records on here that stand shoulder to shoulder with his material with Eric B. Rakim’s lyricism is second to none.

[@Stank-Stankson]

I don't think the 18th letter is slept on at all. That shit's a classic no question about it.

[@dwayneturner9395]

Nah, real heads didn't sleep, at all...

[@fooli91]

@@Stank-Stankson young cats sleep on it. I'm fortunate to have been brought up with old school. 18 yrs old

[@DLM323]

"New York" and "It's Been a Long Time", no surprise DJ Premier laced those 2 and they're my favorites.

[@PaulWrites23]

Rakim is a legend. I respect him. I'm a fan. One day I'll make it in hip hop. I hope all who read this, prospers in 2019 🙏💯💯🏆

The best way to show love and respect for the GOD on his born day is to “purchase“ one of his albums instead of just hitting the “👍🏽”....so that he can see how much we truly respect appreciate and love this brotha’ and his contributions to the culture.. .. or am I buggin’ ? ? ? Peace to the God

the saga begins is what pete rock is my favorite producer, the way he flipped this sample is unreal. his ear is impressive.

[@jungledoctor1202]

The Saga Begins and New York are the gems of this Album.

[@ricosalvaje5802]

Rakim always sounds amazing over beats that sound like he's in outer space like Follow the leader, when I'm flowing and it's been a long time.

[@cikidi1]

That Pleasure was also used by UGK on Its Supposed to Bubble. Man you still need to do a vid where you take 5 to 10 popular sampled songs and intercut them with the songs that sampled them.
