The gods are uniquely identified with New York and it leaked into the essence of hip hop. The world has to acknowledge that and pay homage, but they don't really overstand.

I think Rakim can bring hip hop back to its greatness..I think the people have been starving for so long for that original sound and are Finally mentally ready to accept hip hop once again

[@msolomon1781]

These lil dweebish kids don't have the mental capacity to understand anything that's not talking about killing and $ex! This is a nice wish, but sadly the industry wants music to stay ignorant and destructive, because you know who is in charge!! ( 👿) 🤷🏾‍♂️😔

[@GeovanniOrozco-wf9ny]

actually g rap changed it not rakim.

[@yungoldie2706]

​@@GeovanniOrozco-wf9ny wrong. I was there when it occurred in 86. Rakim was pre G rap.

[@dsess2001]

@GeovanniOrozco-wf9ny you can say that but Kool G never had the impact on lyricism like the R. Just even the notion of being a God into the spectrum. Kool G was great but Rakim created a culture!

[@michaelwuertz6972]

We must trust in the OG's to claim hip hop back from this talentless young generation who have about ruined it. All we need are 16 bar flows, the return of DJs who can scratch and mix. Hip hop MUST be brought back to the art form era of smooth lyrics and hard punchlines.
