I just wrote a whole paragraph stating that, super facts.

He's the greatest emcee ever, yet still incredibly underrated in music history. I place him alongside Bob Dylan, Miles Davis, Willie Nelson, Aretha Franklin, Fela Kuti, James Brown. That's the level Rakim is at to me. Those are his peers as far as influence. That's why any emcee lists without Rakim at #1 look like a joke to me. The list starts at #2.

Even as a Kid when I first heard Rakim, He wasn't well known yet but I knew he was something special. He was so futuristic compared to everyone else at the time. I KNEW he would be considered a Legend by the time I was an "old head". Damn if it ain't play out just like I saw it. Its cool to still be alive and see it.

"I run a brain scan to locate his game plan"....I had to stop the video there because that's all I could handle in one setting.

@ :13 That pic right there! That is late 80's Rakim, that pic shows the physical aura and essence of the MC that captivated a generation. The jewelry, the clothes, the swag, the aggressive, MASCULINE delivery of his rhymes. His music's energy at the time was amazing.

I’m in my 50s now. To this day I marvel at the impact Rakim had in my life. ... he made it to my top 5 list of Impact at key stages of Life... Childhood: Jackson Five Teens: Rick James, Parliament/Funkadelic Late Teens:Prince, Stevie Wonder, Pink Floyd Twenties: Rakim, KRS-ONE, PE Thirties- present... added classic jazz to repertoire... certain classical. Listening 👂🏽 for the Soul in any genre. There were certain albums that were meditations... like if I put it on I’d have to listen to the entire piece... Songs in the Key of Life Funkentelechy vs. the Placebo Syndrome The Wall Dark Side of the Moon Equinox: Coltrane So What: Myles Davis Inner Visions: Stevie... And I have to say Rakims ‘Let The Rhythm Hit’em ‘was in that space for years... One of the few in the HipHop category for me... Public Enemy’s “ It Takes A Nation of Millions was up there too.

@@markbey9411 that's what they were afraid of and why things got changed. I'm from DC, learned knowledge of self and about all that through hip hop. Lessons I still carry with me today.

"What can you say as the earth 🌎 gets further and further away/planets as small as balls of clay"? Jesus

The thing I learned from and about Rakim that made him so special even back in the 87 to 90s era he was so unbelievably ahead of his time almost like light years ahead of anyone or anything that was out at the time he took it to a whole nother dimesion of ryhme almost and no disrespect to KRS1 who was also a brilliant emcee or the next best emcee at that time but the distance between the two was truly overwhelming far as the skill set Rakim took it or set the bar to heights unimaginable at that time, a true a God bless talent for the ages in hiphop.

He's the greatest

They call him the god m.c.

The GOAT

That freestyle he said back then will kill today's artist still..

RAKIM: A MERCIFUL PERSON, ONE WHO SHOWS MERCY. This is the meaning of RAKIM. This meaning is fitting for a human being such as Mr. Griffin. GOD WALKS with RA. He is truly a special being and truly the BEST at what he does. Don’t throw it away, just think about it!!!!!!!!!!!

My #1 hands down. Forever ! And him and Eric B. as a group was the ultimate Dynamic duo. Yes, he's my greatest of all time. He changed the game. Slowed the cadence down with that smooth lyrical flow. And got away from all the yelling that the generation before him were doing.
