Rakim - My List Of Top New York Artists

[The Fire]

 

[Animal House]

I remember he felt some type of way about that track Nas did on Street's disciple, plus surpassing him as well

Its known Ra never liked the comparison from the jump and when Illmatic dropped

Oh well I always had G Rap as the god mc

 

[Barney Rubble]

true story?

Yeah there's an interview out there where they asked Ra about it and he said he wasn't feeling how Nas mumbled the end of his catalog at the end like the Master album and all that.

Yeah I always felt like Ra never liked Nas. Whenever they bring him up in interviews Ra is like yeah Nas is dope but never gets excited or goes out of his way to give him props. I'm sure his people were in his ear when Nas dropped calling him a clone or whatever.

 

[SirBiatch]

either way, Rakim says he's inspired by Rocky. So does that make Rakim WOAT?

 

[Yehuda]

Lox
Wutang
Rakim
Jay
Fab

He put himself on the list?

Y'all lame. It's his list. Why does he have to have Nas on it? Come on.

I wonder how they'd feel if Nas did a similar list and left Rakim out.

 

[IllmaticDelta]

Ra salty

"Long live the idols, may they never be your rivals
Slick Rick was like Jesus, G Rap wrote the Bible
Now what you're 'bout to hear's a tale of glory and sin
Large Professor's my mentor, that's how the story end"

 

[Knicksman20]

@spliz what's up with the god? He's really not feeling Nas

 

[the cac mamba]

true story?

yeah he also didnt like how nas was like 'album with dre was dismantled due to creative differences' or something

 

[letti cook]

He put himself on the list?

think he was talking about Asap Rocky. He's named after Rakim.

 

[Tunez]

This gunna hurt Banks heart. Rakim still doesnt know who Banks is

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

L

Yeah there's an interview out there where they asked Ra about it and he said he wasn't feeling how Nas mumbled the end of his catalog at the end like the Master album and all that.

The real story is he originally said he was feeling the track then flip flopped.

Hate to break it to y'all but Rakim is a difficult and bitter dude. He really let that God mc shyt go to his head. Seen him live twice and he was bytching about the sound while everyone else killed it...

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

But that's exactly what happened. Lol

Dude also said he was mad Nas put his government name out there... Like really? Your a public figure man im sure that shyt was on wiki lmao.

yeah he also didnt like how nas was like 'album with dre was dismantled due to creative differences' or something

 

[Shadow King]

Wu and Lox aren't artists though

Why are Jay and Fab on the same list with no Nas? Oh...because LI nikkas dikkride Brooklyn...even legends.

Why didn't I know Ra was from Long Island?

Y'all lame. It's his list. Why does he have to have Nas on it? Come on.

Two groups and Fab are on it over him

 

[Thizz Khalifa.]

Because was Rakim was popping and Nas dropped illmatic hip hop heads started calling Nas the one. Rakim slowly started fading away even though he was dropping dope shyt and still had skills but everyone forgot about him because all the attention was on Nas
