"Ask the teenagers, OG's and nasty kids What their definition of "classic" is Timeless, so age don't count in the booth When your flow stay submerged in the fountain of youth" Rakim is something different. His lyrics go beyond conscious, or clever.

I Also Love "When I B On The Mic" From His The Master Album....

Rakim is the GOAT love the NEW YORK flow

I grabbed the 18th Letter when i was about 15, straight coincidence i discovered it at a local CD store and instantly knew this is the shit even i never heard of Rakim or Premier before. Classic🔥

One of my favorite RAKIM joints.

Simply cannot get enough of this series

Damn, it's my birthday today, I can't believe how happy this makes me. Salute the Gods!

This shit is TIMELESS! I always thought The 18th Letter was underrated. That “Catchin diabetes from fly sweeties” line amongst others were so dope. That “Stay Awhile” joint was different for his style but just showed how universal he was, and it just worked. All of that material was bangin. Rakim is one of those dudes like KRS or Chuck D that you just can’t fuck with, PERIOD. Lyrically he’s no doubt one of the best. Thank you for continuing this whole series Preemo. I got two KZread accounts and I’m subbed to your channel on both of em. That way when you drop some new shit I’m sure not to miss it from the jump. Keep killin it my dude!!!👍🏻💯💪🏼

Salute to the LEGENDS

Thee ALL TIME top three greatest MC’s EVER are 1. Rakim, 2. KRS One, 3. NAS! And who worked with all Three MC’s for countless hours in the studio? Preem! Bravo Zulu to you DJ Premier for your tireless dedication and passion to our HIP HOP culture! We salute you for your inspirational work and you are truly recognized as one of the pioneers of hip hop. We need real Hip Hop like we need oxygen. Thank you so much my brother!!! Peace- Oh, and to the “Bald Head Slick” Rest In Peace brother Guru!

He takes along time because of he is a lyrical master. Rakim and Big Daddy Kane will always have the top spot on my Top 3, and then Black Thought.

Remember when this song dropped how hype I was to hear Rakim again.

Whatever the "Awww-EEEEE-AHOOOOOOO-OWWWW" is in this song, it's the greatest weird Premo background sound effect of all time.

The Greatest ever…… PREEMO. ✌🏽❤️

I've watched at least a dozen of these ... they are all gems

"When you loaded it into the S950 Sampler, you get this..." When he said that, I really would like to hear the original sound. Maybe Premier playing around on the MPC...just having fun! It couldn't get any better! PREEMO! Your Beats Life Forever! THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!

The God MC....Rakim was crazy nice...And one of my Top 3 rapperw of all time....And he was probably one of thee most influential rappers of All Time ✊🏿😏

NY Stand Up!!! 👑✨👑

Rakim is, objectively, the best MC of all time.

It's a blessing to have such an artist explainning his creative process.

I have a picture of Rakim and my dad when Rakim would come to Philly in the late 80s, early 90s

I'm Greatfull to all the creatives involved with that album. At that point in my mid 20's and being a big Rakim fan from the first time I heard Mr. World Premiere, Eric B. for President on WBLS. I needed that album. For me it was vindication for crowning Rakim the Greatest of All Time after the song "Know The Ledge" I thought maybe I was too young and really didn't understand the music and the culture the way I thought. I had favorites but to me Rakim was the pinnacle of the art form. That Album proved it. No other artist in the genre to that point had taken such a hiatus to then return with a critical and commercial hit.

I bought 18th Letter on a break from work, Wherehouse Records was right across the street. When I got back, Pump Pump Up the VOLUME!

The What!! That’s the one I want!! Cause that Metronome Swings WIDE as I can see!!

Damn, scared me for a sec Preem! Almost thought you went on vacation this week lol

Mad props to preemo for his fav emcee being my fav emcee RAKIM

Rakim x Premo legendaries OG

The Legendary Rakim👑 Salute.

Raaaakiiiiim👑

"AS OF NOW, THE ARE RE-UNITED"… SAY WHOOOOOOT?!

Premo really did that Al Green sample justice (he flipped that one nice)

My Dj cuts material , Grand imperial! Got this album in the collection.

Rap is an art you can't own no loops It's how you hook em up and the rhyme style troop

This is by far my favorite show on KZread

One of my favorite preemo beats of all time

One of my favorites from my favorite producer and favorite MC. This used to inspire me to write so much.

Damn... It's been a long time I've heard this.

I found this track when Martin used it as his intro to one of his stand up specials and the first thing that caught me was the beat then Rakim's smooth delivery. Been loving it ever since and it still gets play.

Love these videos

Absolutely loves these

Love the insight

Can't wait for this one 🔥🔥🔥

Thanks Primo really enjoyed this.

BIG YP FROM GREECE MY IDOL....PREEEEEMO

Bruh,...those "Floppy Disks",...brought on a chuckle! LOL!

Man. I love this!

When I hear the words “it’s been a long time” It reminds me of the end of Raekwon’s Glaciers of Ice. Both songs are classics either way

Rakim and preemo

One of my fav tracks, cant wait

Thanks, I like watching these after school

Will always luv dis Track to da max
