Rakim is the godfather of HipHop. His style is G. O. A. T.

[@BryantOden]

Rakim played the drums on this track!!! And was humble about it for 3 decades...His self confidence is a lesson for all of us.

[@JokersNtheOddball]

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.

[@DoloGomez]

​@@JokersNtheOddballIt's still impressive.

[@JokersNtheOddball]

@@DoloGomez I suppose. it's one of the best songs ever. i guess I was just going over the ways it could be done without being well versed in drumming in my head. not to critique him its just how we think as musicians

[@DoloGomez]

@@JokersNtheOddball as a musician? Lol. Ok. I suppose too. As far as I know Rakim is not classically trained on the drums whatsoever. So for him to just jump on the drums and play the beat he had in his head out of nowhere is pretty darn impressive.

[@JokersNtheOddball]

@@DoloGomez but I really think he knows how to play them. I meant to say I was just thinking out loud in the first place because all I ever do in my head is music, so picking apart the sound is just second nature. its harmless because its art you can't really be critical of a true artist. the instrumental is so good too.

[@joaquingonzalez5095]

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.

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

[@willdieselpower]

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.

[@lookitsapanther]

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.

[@jimmyjc2969]

+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.

[@lookitsapanther]

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.

[@ilianabritton3393]

+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.

[@jonathanclinkscales6637]

[@kurtadams3021]

I agree 😭

[@xavierhigdon9924]

Ya sure about that

[@GFS695]

Your favorite rappers favorite rapper.

[@D33Lux]

Masterpiece song, only Eric B & Rakim can make a jazz instruments hardcore. That saxophone and flute at the right moments is epic. Rakim is top 5 of the greatest MC's of all time.

[@aidanstevens5345]

Back when lyrics were more important than beats... And the beats are still better than 99% of what’s out today!

[@JR-vr7hq]

I agree with you

[@artorius4986]

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

[@matthewhilliard8424]

Eh, even though beats have changed the style nowadays is still dope

[@ericblair7279]

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!

[@daritzboi4583]

the beat was dope tho, eric b did a great job

[@mrpower328]

Im so happy I'm from the 80s and 90s hip hop Era. Back then so many choices of hip hop to listen to back then. But now it's sounds all the same like everybody is rapping south trap music styles

[@5C2WMedia]

if that's what you think then you don't know hip hop.

[@satnav1980]

mrpower328 You're from 2 time zones??

[@spongegarthesavage4470]

vevo always turning the musics down is fucking stupid deadass

[@turtleanton6539]

mrpower328 truth shit that wasnt all dat in the 90s is Killer shit compared to now.

[@chuy8356]

So true

[@wilkiris]

can You feel the energy from this song ? this story touch almost every man on earth !

[@immasoxfanbaby]

The ledge means spitting some knowledge facts. Big up Eric b and rakim. Gems here leading the Royal legacy generation

[@suavemarco1808]

The place your favorite MC got his whole style from... The God MC himself.. Rakim!!!

[@BlackMusicGenre]

Preach!

[@kaliwest4424]

This is one of the greatest hip-hop track's of all time from the sound track of one of the best movies of all time. JUICE.

[@timothyleeson508]

Concurd. Bro

[@veeo2169]

100% agree.

[@RapFanatic4ever]

ONE of the best movies of all time don't you mean the best

[@kaliwest4424]

Dom Sansotta it's up there.

[@GamingBaked]

Dom Sansotta great movie.. but HORRIBLE ending lol "youve got the juice now"... then nothing.

[@Rahsaun77]

“I’ll do work with these, like Hercules”. 12 labors of Hercules reference, took me years to appreciate true lyricism by Rakim and others.

[@nathangillmore5064]

“The smoke will never clear”. So amazing. Timeless.

[@Gump-tion]

This shit harder than most rap songs today!

[@ayshaq580]

its harder than every rap song from today

[@Greatest1979]

COMBINED!!

[@jimmybootz1277]

Man this harder than all of'em!!!

[@BreuckelensFinest]

Rakim the Sugar Ray Robinson of Hip-hop MCs. Almost all the greats modeled their styles after him! ;-)

[@devious187]

This song is almost 35 years old and dude's rhymes still hit like a sledgehammer... like maybe 10 rappers in the history of rap could spit like this, one of the baddest to ever touch a mic

[@LATerr0r]

This song brings back so many memories. I can say without question that Juice was the movie I rented most at my local video store and the soundtrack had as much to do with it as the movie itself. I love everything about this movie ✌.

[@leeallen3261]

"You need to have respect for me. I was almost your father, but the line was too fucking long!"

[@bigbankbrett7898]

I’m freaking 13 and this sounds better than most music that I listen to today and that’s facts

[@D33Lux]

You bring honor to your family. Respect!

[@CS-OTT]

You are WISE Young Sir! Very wise. Big up fella!

[@lonloftonjr.1701]

[@deundremcdaniel1410]

[@Who_._]

Some songs doesn't need a billion views to be called masterpiece ! 🎧

[@Highskill3r]

some songs with a billion views are complete garbage

[@Who_._]

@@Highskill3r 💯

[@arnoldgarzajr1164]

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 🔥.

[@theanalogcirclepodcast.9416]

One of the dopest parts of the song is that he did it with no curses🔥🔥.

[@taronjordan5894]

27 Years Later And Still One Of The Best Rap Songs Ever Made

[@disco3466]

Rakim's rhyme cadence is impeccable. He has no equal.

[@tommyneck9740]

Thank you that says it all .there is no equal. These kids today haven't a clue

[@colvincruden9608]

🐐☝🏾

[@carlosrueda67]

classic shit, never gets old

[@warrenpowell9077]

I want to thank my favorite cousin RIP Lyle for taking me to see this movie on January 16th 1992 on my first day home from the Army

[@WJG1177]

After almost 30 years, this joint is still tight!

[@clghost3294]

timeless bro and so real

[@ckcclouse1]

This came out when I was a senior in high school...still listen to this 30 years later

[@rmathis268]

The song is eternal

[@bangbangkill7431]

Juice and Rakim with 2 Pac hell yeah

[@Kabeyavictoria]

So this man laid the foundation for modern rap in the flow. Legendary individual and very humble man as well

[@robbed1994]

Revisiting this in 2024 and reading the comment section, shows the never ending impact Rakim's catalog has had, and will continue to have on American culture. I was only a kid the first time I heard this song on a Rob Dyrdek skate video, and it was already a 10 year old song at that point. Which is why I wish new gen would be more open minded towards older music like this, instead of only paying attention to numbers and optics. Like, this is the favorite rapper, of your favorite rappers' favorite rapper! 😅 LEARN FROM THE LEGENDS

[@marinogilmore955]

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 ✌️

[@ericjordan6059]

Will never be anything like it again.
