Rakim is to hip hop what John Coltrane was to jazz, or Jimi Hendrix was to the electric guitar. He completely changed the direction of the artform and elevated it on a technical level way beyond where he found it. Everyone who came after him is a disciple.🎤
Very well said!!
That's a fact. Rakim#1 everyone else fighting for a distant second place plaque
his influence can't be underestimated. Compare Public Enemy's first two albums. The first one was before Rakim hit it and the second one was after Rakim and PE had totally changed their approach, especially in terms of the depth of their sampling. They saw the writing on the wall and followed the leader.
Absolute 100% facts!
Not to mention Rakim made you feel like he meant every word without cussing. His style blends seamlessly with the beat like another instrument! Peace to the legend and God MC Rakim! 💯
Yes indeed! Without cursing! 👊🏾
That’s because Rakim was a saxophone player as a child and used to idolize John Coltrane. He saw how JC used techniques to fill space, and he knew that the way music is structured, he could fill in that space with syllables the way Coltrane would. So it’s another example of an artists using the meta from one medium and bringing it to the next. It’s genius.
@@biglex42 thank you for sharing that!👑
@@biglex42 Absolutely!! , coming from a musical -based family that includes jazz artist Ruth Brown, you can comprehend that he becomes one with the music , hypnotizing the listener with clear , on the beat vocals.Just like the 80’s saw the best of basketball, you can add rap. Period!!
The face you made just after the first verse, is the face 'old heads' like myself still make at Rakim's verses. Another great reaction!!
The last verse on this song amazes me to this day
"I'm the arsenal" - greatest opening line to any track ever.
Rakim has incredible timing. His lyrics flow with the beat so effortlessly.
Bruh this song crazy af rakim definitely was in his bag 🎒
In my opinion Rakim is the greatest rapper that ever lived. Incredible word play and delivery. Super talented.
Pure facts big homie and no cap
God MC is 💯 percent correct! You gotta hit up ‘Follow the Leader’ and ‘Lyrics of Fury’ if you haven’t yet!✌🏻
That whole disc!
lyrics of fury gives me chicken skin rakim the lyrical king
Eric B & Rakim's first three albums are all classics. Paid In Full, Follow the Leader and Let the Rhythm Hit Em. This album received 5 mics in The Source. The previous two weren't featured because The Source magazine didn't launch until the fall of 1988, but they're universally recognized as classics, as well. Nearly all modern emceeing flows from Rakim. He is call the God MC, because his 5% name is Rakim Allah, which translates to From the Lord, God.
MY 13 year old son "heard follow the leader" and said. Pops, "I felt hypnotized"...
Rakim was way before his time I'm so glad that now people can see that
There is another track on this album called "No Omega". Rakim goes for about 4 minutes straight!!! If I'm correct, there's an LL diss in there too!
No one at eighteen years old ,in music was this articulate ever!😂
Rakim was the creator of that flow. He changed the way rappers rap.
“I Know You Got Soul”
Was the first single I heard back in ‘86, before the album dropped and remains in my top 5 Rakim tracks.
His Flow is sick!
Ok since you're here
Rakim "My Melody" Young King
Big 🔥
Big Daddy Kane Breathe control is ALL TIME 🐐
You are a lier about BDK
Mastery of the art.
Rakim revolutionized flows and brought modern rhyming to hip hop. G Rap came a few years later and did his thing, too.
Rakim def revolutionized flows, but Kool G Rap came out the same year: 1986. He did "It's A Demo" in '86, but it took a few years for his album to come out. He was featured on a few songs and had some singles out in '87 and was ghostwriting for some of the Juice Crew members.
@@disconnexionsdotcom All facts. However, while Eric B. & Ra were exploding in '86, I feel like G Rap & Polo didn't really catch fire until "Poison" in 1988. (Although, for me, as a bad ass kid, "Rikers Island" was the one!) And, then, of course "Road to the Riches" really blew them up. Appreciate your hip hop knowledge!
@@verbone No doubt. I definitely rocked Kool G when he first came out. That Riker's Island song was pretty hard for it's time and It's A Demo was a NYC classic, especially the 87 remix that added the "I Know You Got Soul" sample. Kool G's buzz really came from the "Raw" demo that was leaked on Mr Magic's radio show. Then The Symphony came out and his verse BODIED everyone else's (IMO). That led to Road To The Riches and the rest is history.
@@disconnexionsdotcom g rap had kane write his verse for the symphony track,,,he’s not on Rakim’s level
@@verbone g rap had kane write his verse on the symphony track
All hip hop that was realeased from the second half of 1986 up until owes a debt to Eric B & Rakim whether they know it or not....who else has had that type of an impact on hip hop?....In the 80’s when people talked about the GOAT it was 3 maybe 4-5 names that always came up :Rakim,G Rap & Kane & in some circles LL & the old heads stuck with Kool Moe Dee....this was before Nas ,Biggie & Jay had even released a demo
The MC, MCs want to be.
Rakim was a "Five Percenter" in the Nation of Islam,, He took that very seriously. For him it was about Knowledge, Wisdom and Supreme Understanding. He was like Farrakhan but on a streets level. Plus cursing on a track didn't really come to like gangster rap days.
You can review anything with Rakim’s name on it and you won’t go wrong.
I got the chills … watching you get the chills! That’s how good Rakim is.
double entendre! He is speaking about his lyrics disemboweling the competition. He is referencing that lyrics are like a gun like a drug. It is done so seamlessly that anyone can mistake it for thinking that he talking about using a gun or drugs. Especially during that drug era when that was a consistent reference point used by most other mcs including my favorite of all time...Kool G Rap. RAKIM top five dead or alive!
Rakim was my guy. Dude was insane
If it wasn't for him it "probably " wouldn't be no nas/az/wu tang. Dude sat the bar so high in the 80s
The GOD mc...a true legend!!!
Rakim INVENTED flow. That’s why he’s the God MC, there was none before him doing that.
@@Jay-iu4st kane started after Rakim…kane ain’t debut until 87, Ra had stuff in 86
@@Jay-iu4st KMD Kool Moe Dee!
Peace! Actually KMD invented flow and Rakim extended that style in ‘86
Rakim is the Goat. Rap has two eras pre Rakim and Post Rakim
Yo, if you're doing Rakim, you gotta do Rakim "the 18th letter" you won't be disappointed.
You got the chills, bruh! Enjoyed this one. “In the Ghetto (Extended Mix)(has to be the Extended Mix!)” from this same album is IMO the greatest rap song ever made. I know I’m not the only person who thinks that either (e.g. Saigon). I’d recommend the video (which Nas picked on his 20 favorite videos when BET used to do that with different artists back in the day-the highest rap song on his list besides “The Message”) but VEVO cut it short on CZcams for some reason. Epic video.
Yeah his lyrics on that is out of here 🚀
Man.!! I’m so honored that you’re experiencing raw, uncut, real Hip Hop in your reaction journey. Good Metal and Rock too. Respect! My man.! ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥🤙🏼💪🏽
Great reaction again! 🔥 Yeah, Rakim is one of my favorite rappers of all time. A really incredible rapper. Now you MUST react to "My Melody" next. It's maybe my favorite Hip-Hop song ever. Trust me, you will be blown away by this song. It's truly incredible! 🔥🔥🔥 Please make it your next Rakim reaction.
Bro, this is the hardest. best rap song ever made. You gone have to play this one back over and over.
The key to understanding Rakim's greatness isn't just listening to his music and lyrics. Look at when he released his first album. Then, listen to ANY artist that came before him. He completely changed the way people rapped. FACTS!!!
I respect your ear. That how i felt when i heard this in the 90's
Been a loooong time, but STILL know ALL(most) of the lyrics! This ONE song, has MORE LYRICS, than an ENTIRE ALBUM TODAY! Great reaction!
One of the 3 Kings of Hip Hop! Along with Nasty Nas and KRS ONE!
NAS ain’t from that era your buggin
@@themightyfp didn't say he was. I said the Kings of Hip Hop are Nas, KRS-1, and Rakim! Regardless of Era, age, or time zone, they're they're 3 best ever
Rakim Allah is on a whole different level than any MC past, present, and future. He’s your favorite rapper favorite rapper
Nas and rakim is the g.o.a.t.s. 🐐. 👑.my 2 favorite mcs ever.word up son
MF DOOM is up there as well.✌🏻
100
Gregory netus I seriously agree with you 150 percent…real talk
Fist MC to rhyme multiple syllables and words. Before only the last one word rhymed.
Since you can appreciate lyrical skills you MUST listen to:
Canibus - Poet Laureate Infinity (1000 bars, All layers, original beat)
It's long but I'd like to see you react to it. It's the epitome of lyricism.
Canibus is definitely a student of Rakim and had the privilege of interviewing him for the Source in 98/99 and later did a collabo with him on his 2nd album.. Props to the lyricists, a dying art..
Canibus rips the mic!!! I agree. 2000 bc
Yeah this track got that "Night on Bald Mountain", "Assembly Line" beat and "Do the Funky Penguin" grunt. No need to remix it...!
Now you see what us old hands be talking about when we speak about hip-hop! Do you understand why it’s hard for us to listen to somebody’s dues today! Because we grew up on lyrics in bars like this! I’m glad you appreciate it young brother this is my first time seeing your page and I’m loving your reactions! Keep listening young man, keep listening! and P.S. I got chills with you as well!😂😂
I’ll say what I always say. Rakim is most likely your favorite mc’s favorite Mc. Like I know Nas, biggie, etc etc..they all loved Rakim.
Rakim came out and made rappers burn they rhyme books.
Rakim -As the ryhme goes on !!
My Fav Rapper. Period!
Period! TRUE
Black moon who got the props word up son
Great choice. This is my favorite Rakim song.
Like he said "i cursed kid like the pyramids when they found the style "
Rakim is the GOAT
Mobb Deep feat. Rakim,
"Hoodlum"
Got mad respect for RA, bars, morals been with his wife fifi since high school. Real high character dude right there!
That’s why he’s the GOD Rakim!
Yo - masters of the craft! "Don't Sweat the Technique" was what jumped off SO HARD in like 92 or 93 - helped turn me on to hip hop in general even though after their prime era in the history it is still my favorite track they ever did and was a monster on DC hip hop stations - we had 2 big stations that DID NOT PLAY and they exposed us to everything man - plus our own stee Go-Go (not so much on the radio, ha, but then you'd hear it - no become part of a mass experience - live in an alley after the club at 3am downtown and THEN it all clicked)
Do a reaction to Dave East
Great to see that you been blessed with the GOD MC Rakim. His rhyme style was smooth, calculated but lethal. He wasn't just throwing intelligent words together for the sake of it...HE WAS DROPPIN' SCIENCE. Only 2 other brothers can be in his circle and that's G-Rap and Kane'. You should react to Rakim's Know The Ledge and Ghetto...CLASSIC RAKIM! Keep up the good work...njoying the videos.
Know The Ledge was the jewel of the Juice soundtrack.
The God M.C. No one comes close.
He was saying this ain't no .38, but let the rhythm hit him point blank and watch his body radiate. Only in Know The Ledge (Juice), he talks about a real gun because of the theme of the movie, but Rakim gun was always his Rhymes and beats.
the goat
you missed reaction to rakims best record ever : lyrics of fury. from album follow the leader 1988
Peace To The Gods! The God said “Your blood 🩸 pressure rises ya damn near lost it; hit the ground burning 🔥 then woke up ⬆️ frost bit”!!! Play it back and listen 🎧 again young man..
I remember hearing this when they had "Rapmania" on TV in the early 90's...Rakim was just smooth with it.
I don’t think anybody is ever gonna do a verses with Rakim
The crazy thing is you said his Gun bars were crazy, and his mic is the "gun" on this song. Metaphors my guy, Metaphors
Rakim made it seem so effortless and too easy.
Song sounds dark and gritty badass
I was wondering why you didn't go live My G 🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️😄 That Versus Was Epic 💯💯 Peace To The God M.C Rakim The Lyricial Metaphor Beast
