the mans nickname is The God MC and you're surprised people rate him highly

The ones who have Rakim in their top 5 are likely old enough to have grown up listening to him

Goo's alt coming to life like a Gundam

He ushered in multisyllabic rhymes

Rakim first solo album is criminally underrated

considering some of the s*** y'all put in your top 5 is this really worth worrying about

only corny if you obviously don’t listen tor / respect hip hop on that level

100x cornier to diss ppl who do put rakim top 5

@Tubig they slandering your mans

Rakim disrespect though..

niggas on here be unironically putting lil uzi vert and asap rocky in they top 5

but putting the man who made "paid in full" and influenced pretty much the entire genre is corny

fasho

gotta remember we arguing with teenagers on this site

He didn't

He came in the door

“Sneak”

Wrong

Dumbass

I aint no joke out now

paid in full is a timeless album you stupid f***

I don’t even bother anymore.

Rakim invented the lane that a lot of these dudes rap in so

I’d say Kane too.

How you just wake up one day & decide to s*** on rakim?

there's no need, if you know you know.
