From a old head who witnessed the birth of Hip-hop, it's Rakim then everyone else. 💯

He's the questioned GOAT. What's frustrating is the new generation of Hip Hoppers don't even know who he is. Ask your average Drill artist who Rakim is and I'm willing to bet they won't know. If you are reading this and you don't know who he is, I highly encourage you to check out all of his material. He literally changed the game. When you hear him talking about fitting as many syllables as he can into one verse... And the inspiration behind that was the jazz music he grew up with. It's just awesome. Truly the greatest of all time!!! Thank you for making this video!!!

Rakim literally change the game! I just remember when we first heard it as 9 years old. We didn't really understand it, but knew it was different. We picked up a dictionary and started reading what certain words meant. Rakim "birthed" my favorite MC, NAS!

Paid In Full is a classic. Period. As far as Follow the Leader….Microphone Fiend is a weekly listen for me.
