Track like mystery ect are still egotrip raps in my opinion, nothin different than follow the leader, Rakim always into religion and esoteric shyt on his raps. What's on your mind or Show me love are like water drops on an ocean of egotrip raps. And even on these tracks he still have a lyrical approach (which is not bad) but that lacks versatility, I mean I was never surprised by of Rakim track, I always know what to except with him

Well U need to listen to his last album The Seventh Seal, not too much as you call it Ego Trippin on it. It's his most versatile album and and has what you call plenty of suprises.

No disrespect to Rakim but The Seventh Seal was average as hell, especially in Rakim's standards, mainly got the beat were mostly average to corny. He actually tried to be more diverse but that didn't work well. It's hard to change the course of your style after 6 albums on a certain lane. I don't criticise him for being unidimentional because what he do in his lane is wonderful. It's kinda like MOP or Too Short, there only good for one type of genra, but there are great at it

good thread brother



thread is an abomination.
just another discovery zone attempt by this retard.

if the owners cared about the cultural integrity of this board.
they would ban this dude immediately every time his ip shows up.


he marginalizes the culture with his low quality culture stealer deficient knowledge ass threads.

we can never discuss shyt cause he ruins the perception of the culture.

he single handidly forced the other promotion's main forums jnto even worse dark ages and they letting this retard do it here as well.

he DOES NOT KNOW WHAT the fukk he is talembout.

kinda agree, I would say that Kane had one of teh best style of the 80's but as soon as the 90's came, he was kinda obsolete. Meanwhile Rakim was ahead of his time, Lyrics of fury blew me away and it was 88 :blink:

BUT, I would say that Kool G Rap was better, not by much by still. And contrary to Rakim, he was still improving and reached his peak on 4,5,6 (and went downhill after in the 00's.

Rakim on the other hand is great but flow wise him and G Rap are kinda like Az, these only have one flow, they don't surprise us on the way they flow, it's flawless but always the same. And what prevents them to have better albums on the long distance is that they're only got for egotrip raps or battle rap. With their type of flow who can't expect them to do a song like One mic or Dear mama. They lack versatility and emotions. But what separates them from the others it's their unique voice

No one does internal rhyming like Ra(he brought it to Hip Hop on a Grand scale) not even Nas.

This is boring to U?? His flow was sick on this. From the same album.

Just when things seemed the same, and the whole scene is lame
I come and reign with the unexplained for the brains 'til things change
They strain to sling slang, I'm trained to bring game
History that I arranged been regained by King James
Go to practice, with tactics, when the track hits, theatrics
Women that look like actress the status of Cleopatra's
Stacks of mathematics to feed yo-asiatics
As I find out, what the facts is, for geographic
No time to sip Mo's with hostess, never mind what the total gross is
I rip shows, stay focused, and split cheese, with soldiers
While you hit trees and coast I spit flows that be ferocious
And with these explosives, I split seas for Moses
Shine permanently only my mind's concernin me
Fire burns in me eternally time's eternity
Followers turn on me they'll be in a mental infirmary
Determinely advance technology better than Germany
Since the first days you know of, till the last days is over
I was always the flow-er, I made waves for Noah
From a compound, to the anatomy, to the breakdown of a atom
Some of my rap patterns, still surround Saturn
From the ancient hieroglyphics, to graffiti painted pictures
I study I know the scriptures but nowaday ain't it vicious
Date back I go beyond, check the holy Qu'ran
To speeches at the autobahn, now we get our party on
So being benificent, I bless em with dialogue
They expectin the next testament, by the God
I roam through battlezones with chrome for chaperone
Blast beat with saxophones one of the baddest rappers known
Every country city and borough, sidestreet and ghetto
Isle and alley and meadow, theories thorough enough to echo
When it was one mass of land, with one nash' of man
And the whole mass was ran under one master plan
Since the world's metamorphis, and the plan is kept in orbit
Turntables we spin awkward but needles never skip off it
Rhythms we expressin similar to our ancestors
It'll answer your questions if you understand the message
From the days of the slave choppers, to the new age of prophets
As heavy as hip-hop is I'm always ready to drop it
From the mind which is one of Allah's best designs
And mines'll stand the test of time, when I rhyme

When it comes to the trio of Lyrics/Flow/Rhyme Scheme no one in the history of Hip Hop is seeing Ra. Nas didn't update sh1t from Ra. Niccas still haven't topped the trifecta of Follow The Leader/Lyrics of Fury/Let the Rhythm Hit em including Ra himself.


real talk,...

if you not rakim, the real rakim.

you need to get another username.

the mods of this place not on bitness at all.

this site came from the culture.

if you not rakim for real,..you need to abandon ship like busta rhymes told nikkaz.

real talk,...it should no be no clone legendary gods usernames on this board.

can we keep it true around here.


art barr

the real art barr was argueably the best worker to never get acclaim.

i honor that in hiphop,..but real talk art barr is a wrassler and not a cultural icon in hiphop.

you can not make a mockery or impersonate cultural figures in the context of a board built on hiphop.

the real art barr was not apart of hiphop,..so don't even attempt to deflect or counter.

this shyt is as bogus as the real jazzy jeff having to sue jive. for the next jazzy jef with will.

we supposed to know better.

I meant he doesn't switch up the internal rhymes from the end rhymes which is why the sh*t starts to become more predictable after a while (you know which word he's gonna rhyme) and it's not as intricate a rhyme scheme. Yes, he rhymes a lot of words in this song but it's usually the one word that he rhymes all the other words with for 2 to 4 bars whereas Nas on Illmatic switched it up mid-bar a whole lot more. For example, in the above verse (which is quite long) Ra only has two different rhymes in one bar in those 4 bars I highlighted. If he had done that more his style would have been that much doper..

The complexity of Freeway's rhyme schemes far outway what Rakim was doing - his voice held him back though - no disrespect to the legend Rakim though - im just sayin

Oh yeah and of course Eminem whether you like him or not



dawg,...shut your stoopid ass up.....

@art barr

people try to bring real argument to the discussion and all you can respond is by insulting and condescending bullshyt. When a guy came on the insult instead of debating, not only that shows his mind limits but what an imbecile he is. The fact alone that you sign every post with your name prove that you a narcissic douchebag

But leave that alone, the question was, is rakim is untouchable with the multis. And the response is, while he was great at it, G rap is unquestionably the godfather of it, and Big Pun bring that to an other level

oh and no need for you to respond if all you can do is insulting
