Brain knowledgeably wizzy

 

[FunkDoc1112]

Rakim on I Aint No Joke still blows my mind

This one

 

[Pop123]

LL blacked thee fukk out on this shyt


And you can just pick a verse off of "Follow the Leader", smh. Ra was rapping like he traveled thru a wormhole from the following decade, wasn't nobody else rhyming anywhere close to that back then.

Got on the phone and called 3 different people the first time I heard "It Ain't Hard To Tell".

When I was put on to illmatic as a pre teen, I probably ran back NY State of Mind for a whole day before listening to the rest of the album lmao.

When I heard Jesus Walks and All Falls Down as a kid. I was blown away, such a contrast to Luda and 3 6 Mafia

I’ve always liked Run DMC, Rakim and Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five. Hearing Slick Rick debut this year blew my mind.
