He wasn't cursing. It was just a video version. At that time videos were still on TV and certain things were edited in addition to curses such as n-word, and references to guns and drugs. Check out the unedited, I'm sure it's no big deal

He was not CURSIN'. HE was saying the 'N' word.

Rakim just dropped a new song called Be ILL

Rakim cursed in his very first single, Check Out My Melody. That he never curses is a myth. He just did it very rarely.

@@CliffMarion "Pull out your money, pull out your cut/Pull up a chair - cuz I'm a tear shit up." "I wouldn't have came to say my name and run same weak shit/Putting blurs and slurs and words that just don't fit." It was uncut when it first came out. In the radio version (and the one everyone plays) "Pull up a chair" ends the line with chair echoing and in the other line "shit" was cut down to "sh" with another heavy echo. Yes, I'm old and remember that.

Rakim "Guess Who's Back" "It's Been A Long Time" "The 18th Letter"

"It's Been A Long Time" is another Rah solo venture produced by Premiere

Dropped a few N-Bombs and it was also silent when he said .45 holders. Gun references and drug talk would get edited out to get the video played on MTV and BET. Master P was not a good rapper, but he did spit real shit. He felt authentic, as did the whole No Limit roster. P wasn’t a great lyricist, but he has great charisma, and he had plenty of good-great talent following his orders.

even EM respects GOD MC and holds him in high regards

"YOU JUST LIED" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

He said “45 holders” & they bleep that…smh

Rakim used language that radio censored from his first single “Eric B Is President”. He rarely did that but over the years he even dropped the “f” word a couple times before going solo. Cursing isn’t just for when you have nothing to say. Sometimes it provides emphasis to a statement which we all do. And yeah, bring the crew back. Ya'll do excellent work. Peace

Definitely need to bring Justo and everybody else back and react to that Big Pun Capital Punishment album. That would be 🔥

Glad I kept watching to the end. You almost got comment section dealt with. 😂✌🏾 Rakim always had a song here and there with a curse in it. The thing is he never has to lean on curses to fill a verse. In this song he cursed once and I bet most people wouldn’t even catch it. The rest of the edits were for the n word. Ra is still the God MC today. ✌🏾

You guys tricked me! I loved the elevated convo between 2 art lovers. Subscribed fam :D

He said ninjas they bleep out

That's one of many rhymes that he wrote. His use of curse words pales in comparison to the amount of profanity that is used today. He still has something to say.

The sample is M.O.P.

DO "LYRICS OF FURY" by Rakim Lets forget all the goofyness

raklim =goat

Yo, I miss y'all bro. I turned my notifications back on and BAM this pop up.

Love all the cameo's in this video

Great song! I think the song they have with Styles P is even better named "Nice" also the song they have w/ Foxy Brown is ill too! Both premo tracks

Check out my melody. ..in think y'all did follow the leader. Do. " ghetto ". Raking the God MC lotta reasons why any of these rappers picked up a mic

He wasn’t cursing. The video is edited for the sake of monetization. The words that were bleed out were the N-word and a reference to a gun.

Not everybody got to give up a 💰 for a baddie. Most dudes lack game and patience. And to dude with the jacket, Rakim is saying Nigga like we all do. A if you're sensitive you can take it as a curse word, but your being a distraction from the Bars. Don't place judgement on the one that cemented in the Game. Anything said now for a man that made His bones early and well respected, it's hate. Facts make a argument valid, Fiction and lies àre Hate and Animosity.

“Be Ill” by the god Rakim, Kurupt, and the Master Killa. Check it out.

He didn’t curse, they bleeped out the N word

do Casualties Of War

I wanna get more with this channel so I'm going to be a bit light on the judgement of lack of knowledge and. history. My advice, Just be careful stating facts and just peep the technique... Clearly they learning as they go and i think it's dope, being interested and into the culture.

He ain’t cursing, they bleep it out because he sayin the N word

Rakim only cursed one time! And dat was in Let The Ryhtmn hitem

He aint really cursing ,and the cuts have the n word so they bleep it

Ya mans is slacking with his facts. Ra said what he said on Paid in Full- musta missed it. He’s saying igga with a N by the way. Primo is a goat on the beats. Go ahead compare him to Eric B. It’s ok if you’re out your lane. Please, let your knowledge be born about who is better if the 17th letter is trash

How long did you want him to rock a fade lol

Fat Joe #1 or 2

He didn't cuss.

Listen to Heavy D don't curse

'its produced by Premier ' Why you make it sound like a bad thing

Next time...Google the lyrics OG. & Did you guys buy your KZread name? If not .... Make sure no one owns it. Or big 💰💰💰💰 later

Apparently this is a washed Rakim according the guy on the left, lmao these reaction cats are so low effort.
