[@Gabriel-gv1mx]

Rakim is the closest thing to a Jazz singer, coexisting both inside and outside the beat. Rakim never allows the beat to cage his bars, nor does he allow his bars to isolate or dominate the beat. He's like a Thelonious Monk Beat Poet. He's the most complete, most complex and most original stylist to bless a mic. Many may folllow, but the Leader leads.

As a drummer, the late 80s and early 90s in rap/hip-hop has absolutely some of the best drums and bass in any genre. Eric B. and Rakim, Geto Boys, Kool Keith, Ultramagnetic MCs all were doing incredible things and made songs that can hold up decades later.

[@paulkersey1007]

Young people, take note to the fact that there's a specific reason why Rakim is widely regarded as one of the greatest MCS of all time. Because the music that he made is timeless and the problem today is that hip hop is made for the now for the moment. someday a hundred years from now and beyond some intergalactic world that the Earth is going to become someone will listen to this and find that Eric B and Rakim were awesome.

Wow. A young Wyclef (Fugees) on bass as an extra!

Rappers these days won't write lyrics with more than a couple syllables. One after another and with ease from Rakim. THIS WAS RAP.

You said bro. Worse still is grime aka mumble rap. They ain't shit to this legend

[@Globalman43]

@@gman7159 The both of you are correct. When They play rumble rap at the gym when I work out, I want the song to pass. When they play classic hip hop, my workout routine gets better.

“I'm also a sculpture, formed with structure
Because of my culture, I'm equipped to construct the
Technical styles that'll be full of technology” Rakim is just on another level with this. His ability to rhyme is in his DNA. It’s in his ‘culture’.

Lets push this song again... I wanna hear it out of cars again.. And in the park...Again.

This classic perfectly demonstrates that hip hop is the most creative music genre the world has ever seen

[@thecriticalthinkeroutsidet4947]

That's because this song is closer to jazz, which also represents Rakim's jazz-based influence in his vocal delivery and love for jazz instrumentation. Jazz also had a huge influence for others, too.
