Settin' it off, lettin' it off, beginnin'.
Rough to the endin', you never been in
to move the groove with the smooth rap lord;
like a bottle of juice, rhymes are being poured.
Down your ear, crisp and clear,
as I prepare to wear, tear and smear - then I'm outta here.
With a mark left that you can all cling.
Cuz rockin' a party? Yo, it's a small thing.
I rip many places on regular basis, and broken down mics were the only traces
that I'd been there and there at the party
The mic had my prints, and on it was a body
So take caution. I'm not horsin' around in a throwdown, clown,
I'm takin' yours son.
So just acknowledge the way that I kick it,
cuz if rap was a house, you'd be evicted.
And dismissed from the microphone, chokin' on a bone, cuz Daddy's home.
And battlin' me is hazardous to health,
so put a quarter in your ass, cuz ya played yourself
Like a game in the arcade. You need a far aid.
I'm walkin' the path that Allah made.
I'll attend and then begin to send a speech to reach and teach,
so just say when.
So I can let lyrics blast like a bullet.
My mouth is the gun; on suckers I pull it.
The trigger, ya figure, my pockets gettin' bigger,
cuz when it comes to money, yo, Grant's my nikka!
You've got the groove, MCs, freeze, stand still, nobody move.
It's a sabotage, as I take charge. Don't barge, cuz gotdamn, I'm livin' large
like a giant. You're nothin' but a midget, a small digit.
You ain't hit it, forget it, quit it.
I reign superior, always takin' care o'ya.
No-frill rappers, you will evaporate, disintegrate, deflate to your fate,
as the great will dominate straight to the state
of reignin', gainin. So put Kane in, that category. Period. End of story...

Standing by the speaker, suddenly I had this
Fever, was it me or either summer madness
Cuz I just can’t stand around
So I get closer and the closer I get, the better it sound
My mind starts to activate, rhymes collaborate
Cuz when I heard the beat, I just had to make
Something from the top of my head
So I fell into the groove of the wax and I said
How could I move the crowd
First of all, ain’t no mistakes allowed
Here’s the instruction, put it together
It simple ain’t it but quite clever
Some of you been trying to write rhymes for years
But weak ideas irritate my ears
Is this the best that you can make?
Cuz if not and you got more, I’ll wait
But don’t make me wait too long coz I’m a move on
The dancefloor when they put something smooth on
So turn up the bass, it’s better when it’s loud
Cuz I like to move the crowd

The Two Best EMCEEs of their ERA. They were damn near neck and neck(Ra with edge) until Kane decided to go damn near full R&B in 91. Even on the uneven Taste of Chocolate in 90, his skills were in peak form.

Rakim had the more unorthodox and complex rhyme schemes.

When Rakim went solo in 97 he streamlined his schemes. Still great but I wish he would of use his unorthodox schemes more on his solo albums.

agreed but they were still difficult though, the multies were ridiculous on the 18th letter.Wasn't a word out of place, made it seem so easy.

to answer the thread though, Rakim Allah all day
