[@brianwilliams1260]

Big ups to catching that

[@Enigmo1]

back when rapping didn't involve swearing every 2 words, but actually using intellect

[@shotgun517]

+Enigmo I grew up in that era of great hip hop and rap, today's garbage I call crap!

[@TranzparentMethods]

+sean rickards Couldn't agree more. I grew up listening to Hip Hop in the early 90's and IMO the late 80's-early 90's was the end all be all for Hip Hop. The genre was formed just enough to be thought provoking, intelligent and still relevant, without being watered down.

[@thedelirantapprentice5521]

You can even notice the difference easier than that, their clothes and nowadays "rappers" clothes

[@rafagrzegorzewski238]

+Enigmo Sip the juice cuz I got enough to go around, And the thought takes place uptown I grew up on the sidewalk where I learned street talk, And then taught to hawk New York- where's that intellect? just some random lyrics about nothing

[@ANCUTTER]

+Rafał Grzegorzewski There is definitely meaning in the lyrics, you must be blind or deaf. Even just the first lyrics you show say a lot. It's about living in lower class but longing for more. Juice is slang for empowering themselves, gaining respect. But in the hood you might find a lot of opportunity (juice) can borders on the illegal. Get to close to the ledge, your gonna go to Jail, die, or hurt others. Poetry.

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.

[@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!

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

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

The way he crafted rhymes was beyond masterful. The story telling, beyond masterful. And humble enough to not get glory in the end of the story. Rakim is GOAT for a reason! One of my all time favorite joints in Hip Hop is this song right here. A masterpiece.

[@OMEGAxWARRIOR]

Rakim was miles ahead of everybody in the rap game when he came out. But you want to know what’s crazy? Even as he entered the twilight years of his career new rappers who came out still couldn’t outdo the bars Rah gave us. MC’s that came after him didn’t even come close to his ledge.

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.

The only artist in the history of hip hop to spit 4 verses on a song for a soundtrack. All this time I thought it was three verses and it damn near explained the whole movie. When I heard this I bought the cassette cause I was too young to watch juice in the theater. So I got the soundtrack he gave me the story to through music. Naughty by nature did the same.

[@thetrickisirarelyrespond5945]

Juice was a CRAZY soundtrack. Early 90s undisputed era of great movie OST's. Mo' Money, Poetic Justice etc. Ps can we get an Amen for the engineering on the Juice Soundtrack? I don't know if it was individual technicians or just one or wtvr, but to this day it sounds crisp af.
