Rakim is on the Mount Rushmore of great rappers.

Real rap. Real rapper.

This might be one of the best beats ever

The MFers that put this this movie and track together deserve awards

Its a blasphemy not to honor Rakim as one of the greatest MCS ever lived

It’s so crazy that Rakim did the drums for this beat. He killed it

2026 anyone?

Those coats look stylish as hell even today!!

Never gets old. Been listening since I was 17. I'm 45 now.

"...I'm at war alot, like Anwar Sadat, no warning shot, my gun's warm alot..."  lyrically unparalleled ...Rakim the 🐐

Rapping can pretty easily be divided into two eras: "Before Rakim" and "After Rakim." His metaphysical subject matter, complex internal rhyme schemes and cold-as-ice delivery moved the art form forward by leaps and bounds.

Whose here in 2026?

This is why no one ever dissed Rakim!

No mumble rap here. You could understand every damn word.

Man. Rakim's flow is insane in this.

Smooth flow...not cussing.....story tellin...RAKIM RULES!!!!!! So underrated. Still listen to this....May 17 2025

Easily one of the best hip hop songs ever made

Mumble rap these days looks homeless compared to this masterpiece... Sonic and Lyrical Perfection.

Rakim played the drums on this track!!! And was humble about  it for 3 decades...His self confidence is a lesson for all of us.

This song goes hard in 2024 ,Who is still rocking this
