Rakim is my favorite Rapper and acknowledged as the greatest Rapper ever. Truth!!
God mc
This is hip hop, darlin. Rakim IS hip hop. He gives you 3 or 4 verses of superb rhymes over Eric B's beats and has never been wack in 30+ years. He is the Alpha Dog.
Rakim, Chuck D & KRS-ONE were the epitome of what an MC and a true HipHop artist was supposed to be back in the late '80s/early '90s... and still are to this day, imo.
Know the ledge is a lyrical time capsule documenting life in the Black community during the crack cocaine epidemic in the 1980's. Many Black souls were lost as a result. Many lessons learned as a culture.
Greatest rapper ever.
No one can put lyrics together like this and flow the way he does, even to this day. And this is in 1992!. He literally changed the rap game lyrically in 1986. The GOAT. The GOD. The R.
Verse 1:
“Sip the juice, I got enough to go around
And the thought takes place Uptown
I grew up on the sidewalk where I learned street talk
And then taught to hawk New York
I go to Queens for queens, then get the crew from Brooklyn
Make money in Manhattan and never been tooken
Go Uptown in The Bronx to Boogie Down
Get Strong on the Island, recoup and lay around
Time to build my juice back up
Props stack up, suckers get smacked up
Don't doubt the clout, you know what I'm about
Knockin' niggas off, knockin' niggas out
Shakin' 'em up, wakin' 'em up
Breakin' 'em up, rakin' 'em up
Standin' on shaky ground too close to the edge
Let's see if I Know the Ledge”
Verse 2:
“Corner's triflin' 'cause shorty's here
I get cock-D liftin' forties of beer
Here's a sip for the crew that's deceased
If I get revenge, then they rest in peace
Somebody gotta suffer, I just might spare one
And give a brother a fair one
Stay alert and on P's, and I do work with these like Hercules
Switch to southpaw, split your right jaw
'Cause I don't like y'all, I'm hype when night fall
Smooth, but I move like an army
Bulletproof down in case brothers try to bomb me
Puttin' brothers to rest like Alien Ness
'Cause I don't like stress
Streets ain't the place for innocent bystanders to stand
Nothing's gonna stop the plan
I'll chill like Pacino, kill like DeNiro
Black Gambino, die like a hero
Livin' on shaky grounds, too close to the edge
Let's see if I Know the Ledge”
Verse 3:
“Shells lay around on the battleground
Dead bodies are found throughout the town
Try to put shame in my game to make a name
I'mma put it on a bullet, put it in your brain
Rip the block like a buckshot
Who cares where it goes? Just keep the casket closed
No remorse when a life is lost
I paid my dues, paid the cost
And my pockets are still fat
Wherever I'm at, I get the welcome mat
Even if my crew is steep with one deep
I attract attention, people like to peep
So come say hi to the bad guy
Don't say goodbye, I don't plan to die
'Cause I get loose and I got troops, and crazy juice
In control of many like Ayatollah Khomeini
Hang out with Smith and Wesson', don't try to play me
I'm at war a lot, like Anwar Sadat
But no warnin' shot, my gun is warm a lot
When I cook beef, the smoke will never clear
Areas in fear 'cause this here's severe
Livin' life too close to the edge
Hopin' that I Know the Ledge”
Verse 4:
“A brand new morn', no time to yawn
Shower's on, power's on
Late for school, I catch the train
Girls sip the style and whisper my name
I push up like an exercise
Check they intellect and inspect the thighs
Select the best one, pull her to the side
Keep her occupied for the rest of the ride
Read her my résumé, she know already? Cool
Just meet me after school
We can moan and groan until your moms come home
And you'll be callin' me Al "Dope" Capone
Sweatin' me, she didn't want to let me loose
Come get me, that's if you want to sip the juice
'Cause the streets await me, so I take my gun off safety
'Cause a lot of niggas hate me
Comin' out of the building, they set me up
Sprayed with automatics, they wet me up
In a puddle of blood, I lay close to the edge
I guess I didn't Know the Ledge.”
EVER !!!!!!!!!!! BREATHE !SIGH ! EVER !!!!!
100%
Salute!
Nicely done
RAKIM IS ONE OF THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME-HIS WORDS AND FLOW ARE JUST LIKE WHOA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IN MY TOP 5 LYRICAL FAVORITE MCS.
One of the greatest Hip Hop songs of all time
Knowledge is what Rakim was talking about as far as Rakim saying "Know the Ledge" In certain situations to have knowledge and at the end like he said i guess "i didn't know the ledge" and that's what got him killed
This my first time watching official video thank you
You!... Young Queen 👑 just came across the God MC Rakim... The greatest rapper who changed the way real lyrics were expressed. No curses and dropped knowledge. You gotta revisit Eric B and Rakim catalog... BTW Eric B is the DJ.
GodMc Probably Best Mc in the world Reaction request : Eric B.& Rakim - Follow the leader
Your favorite rapper's favorite rapper
Rakim was the greatest rapper forevermore. Eric B. and Rakim are the greatest rap group forevermore. You should react to Casualties of War (with video) and pay attention to the lyrics.
Juice is a good movie. Should be a nice watch for you.
RAKIM... Is the God eMCee
Know-the-Lesge
That video is better than the movie :)
No matter what, please listen to that song, you're mind and attention will be blown away from the hook and the lyrics delivered by Big Daddy Kane !!!!!!!!! SET IT OFF, please !!!!!!!!!!!!
Check out Arrested Development’s Tennessee and/or Digable Planets’ Rebirth of Slick (Cool like Dat). Worth.
Rakim is a legend
RIP to 2pac he played a great role in this movie
Love this and reaction videos of younger people watching the golden era. Only minor complaint is not sure why no one does a quick google search to get a backround of the situation, get some basic info on the video for context, trust me! These some hidden gems in this stuff, still finding hidden messages in Rakim’s raps incredible!!!🙌🏽👏🔥
Juice was 2 PAC first Movie !
Juice. You got the juice... The GOD himself. The one&only Rakim certified official at all levels....
Grew up with this, damn it's nice to see this video again. Thank you sister!
Know The Ledge is a play on the word knowledge…genius
No pausing just to say some stupid $hit = another subscriber!
No overreacting as if you just figured out that words can rhyme = another subscriber!
Thank you
FIRST, WE THE PAID IN FULL FAMILY , WANTS TO THANK YOU AND YOUR SUPPORTERS FOR THE LOVE...ERIC AND RAKIM WANT TO SAY YOUR DEPICTION IS VERY FAIR,, BUT /KNOW THE LEDGE ../ MEANS MENTALLY BEING AWARE OF YOUR ENVIRONMENT AT ALL TIME,, BECAUSE THIS LIFESTYLE IS NOT A GAME...THERE ARE CONSEQUENCES ,,PEACE AND BLESSINGS..TO ALL ALLAH CHILDREN ...FED.D
This is soundtrack from movie juice staring Tupac
Rakim is the GOAT
The God MC
One of my favs.You beautiful
What you never saw juice omg
You don’t know nun about that lyrical wizardry
GOD MC
Fun fact Rakim actually played the drums to this beat himself.
Really? An actual drum set? Not a drum machine?
@@DoloGomez he said couldnt find the right drum samples that fit the beat right and there were a set of drums at the studio so asked them to mic up the drums and he played the drums for song himself.
@@teeblack06 now that's impressive. Good stuff man.
Isn't this produced by The Bomb Squad?
Joy you have to do Nas.."It ain't hard to tell".....that movie is Juice...a cult classic...lol...where did you grow up? woooooo
Got a song for you, Big Daddy Kane: "Set it Off" , God bless.
Listen to mc lyte greatest girl rapper all time
The God Rakim Allah
Check out a tribe called quest first album
React to Lincoln LaRussa - Genuinely dope up an coming artist from stl no video jus audio
You're beautiful
It's weird as hell to hear people review a popular song then say things like "that one actor I like" 🤣
Wait.. you're commenting on a movie and song that you've never seen or heard before?
Omg!!!
