I like the messaging that has though. Most rappers would at least have a few shots of them touching, looking at, or talking to the girls. But Eric B. and Rakim really only ever stare at the camera, stone faced. It's like they're saying "Yeah we got the girls and the money and the clothes. But it's not about that right now. It's about the rhymes and the beats."

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.

I came from Watchdogs 2 and Forza Horizon 4

Still Bangz in 2014

Rakim is a true grandmaster and definition of mc and this was '92 ...

Heard this at the end of “The Crown S5 E5 - The Way Ahead” and had to search. Nice!

The most dopest hip hop song of all time! ✨💛✨

i saw on watch dogs 2, but it reminds me the good old gta San Andreas days...

Eric B rockin' the Raiders hat takes the swag from 10 to 11 on this hit.

Rappers will come and go ... but Rakim will always steal the show!🤘

This is a classic, and I think Rakim is probably the greatest MC to ever do it, but this a garbage fucking take. There are some incredibly talented rap artists creating great music these days and comments like yours are just ignorant and out of touch. You probably dont even listen to that much music and have no idea whats out there right now besides whats on the radio.

@@bern9642 But he's of that era, and has an entire song dedicated to Rakim. Nas is not a contemporary rapper.

This is rap not the crap they make now

Everything about this track is perfect.

Funk-Jazz-Rap..incredible

Got my signed copy of Rakim's new book. Don't sleep!

In every video, Eric B. always has this uncomfortable look on his face like "yeah, I dont rap, but I do stuff too." Cracks me up 😅

When this came out ....i was in Middle School and knowing that hip hop music was about to make its mark and as I watched the genre make lives and take them to higher levels of understanding that we were listening to something new

He's the Micheal Jordan of Rap

This song is dope.

Rakim Is Ny to the fullest! Even the angry look all the time. He’s not angry, it’s just the way had to keep the look hard all the time the face stays that way . People used to always think I was angry. !!
