King Sun - "Old or new jacks for trying to prove that, they can hold grudges, but I remove that" Rakim - "They think that I'm a new jack but only if they knew that, they who think wrong are they who can't do that"

King Sun is so underrated
@djstace808 Жыл бұрын
Not by those of us on this platform right now. The challenge arises from the uncanny similarities to RAKIM. But when people say, “… (X) album is underrated.” Or “… (X) MC is underrated.” Ask yourself underrated by whom? Your neighbor’s kid? Underrated by people when given a choice between CypressHill and The BEATNUTS choose Cypress Hill? Consider the source. To get to The BEATNUTS requires serious time spent listening to hip-hop, DITC, time spent outside the mainstream media. The more you listen the more you can pick up on the differences and what is high-quality and what is pandering. Who is the most visible and why are they so visible? Visible because they are palatable to the masses and they don’t take any risks or they have a bigger budget for marketing and promotions, they have money from the label spent on securing rotations on syndicated radio shows which is akin to real estate, bought and purchased by the label in ways that are not federal crimes, aka they are not giving executives DJs straight up cash-payola-maybe a new van for their promotions, or expensive vacations for the executives complete with companionship… bottom line is, if you know about King Sun, and are familiar with his body of work, you either give him respect or you question his proximity to and the nature of his relationship with RAKIM.

His tone/and rhyme schemes are without a doubt reminiscent of the God MC. Profile supposedly released King Sun because he was a physical threat to someone at the label-evidently he’s a very large and strong man. Freddie Foxxx spoke of a time in the ‘80’s when the three-King Sun, RAKIM and Knuckles-had spent time together working on their music, and that the R was third out of the three. Consider the source of the story, but don’t count any one of them out. Rakim, Sun and Freddy Foxxx have always been Dope. Too bad there were no iPhones back then… 3:12

Maaaaaaaaan! I can remember when this came on "PUMP IT UP". King Sun instantly became one of the rappers I was at the record stores trying to find in St.louis. KING SU. had me thinking that MOST of NEW YORK was the home of "GOD" intellect. I was 15, and the colors had found their way to our city. King Sun was one of those dudes that kept my young mind as righteous as it could be, considering the killings and genocidal activity of that time. PEACE to KING SUN. Respects from a youth of the St.louis 1990's streets. ...... "It's a Heat up!" 🫡

It only shows how great and influential Rakim was/is because King Sun is a supreme MC. Nas was influenced by Rakim as well. "So analyze me surprise me but can't magnetize me, scanning while ya planning ways to sabotage me!" That IIlmatic excerpt has Rakim encoded all throughout that.
