The guy on the left,is one of those 7 MC's that Rakim is talking about lol

Red shirt ..Leave this Cornball alone.He gone damage yo rep..

No cursing,no calling women hoes,no drug bs. Pure lyrics 💪

Dude in red would do better by himself

LMAO...Youngins look like they in their Feelings when listening to the second verse😂😂😂Shiiidd must've hit home

I don't know if the dude on the left understands that it was this song that birthed a multi syllable era of hip hop, Nas, J Cole, Kendrick.

Shut this channel down...

Dude you can’t be serious! Rakim is a killer lyricist. Dude on the left... man dude you can’t catch anything clever

You’re very naive or ignorant because these are the men that started lyrical hip hop without them there be wouldn’t be a Big Sean or Young Thug. And what does Young Thug say that great are unique.

Get off the drugs son dude in the red hoodie your on the right path

ok this dude on the left should never listen to hip hop again lol

The man who invented lyracism in rap.

Rakim was one of the most ahead of his time artist ever. That song came out in 1987 and people are still listening to it. If you a do a version of the song hopefully people will enjoy your version 31 years from now.

Brother in the red you need to find another commentator to watch these videos with because your people in the black is going to ruin your reputation.

Rakim is one of the greatest rappers of all time, homeboy in the red need to go solo. Shit bro in the 80s and 90s Migos, trippie Redd, Lil Pump would have got run off the stage R.I.P. REAL RAP

Rakim is the Goat.... Dude in the black doesn't know the history

So disrespectful and off point.

We bout to stop following y'all...da nukka on da left is bugging smh

My man in the red hoodie really listened to the lyrics!

I've watched a couple of these. Dude in the red seems to be a student. He's hearing all of the lyrical content.

Dem busts wack. Rakim will destroy your Mumblers

Putting down the G.O.A.T lol..........you on the dope..........

Dude in the red listens to the bars. I don't know what the other guy is listing too.

deep concentration cus im no comedian.....

Eric B is the DJ. Rakim is the emcee rapping. You can’t diss the top 5 greatest emcee of all time. This dude is top 5 on every Greatest Emcee of All Time list every year from Hip Hop radio stations, tv shows, magazines and from Hip Hop heads across the nation. This is even 2Pac, Nas, Eminem and 50 Cent’s idol in Hip-Hop.

A mind is a terrible thing to waste. Moving on nothing to see here!

"Deep concentration because I'm no comedian, joker's are wild, if you want to be tamed, I treat you like so your gonna be named" Dude on the left is wack.

At least u can understand what rakim was saying no mumble there .

I had a homie just like you who was from ATL. His ears just couldn't hear Rakim. No matter what song I played he was so in love with T.I.. One day he was in the backseat in my car and me and another homie was talking in front. Rakim " The Punisher" was playing not to loud so we could talk. He was quiet then bust out "Ohhh Shit wtf he just say , rewind that please. I never heard anybody say no shit like that" We rewinded it and even i was like damn .He actually made me appreciate that song even more. No video for it but I think u should check it out

Saw the dislikes and headed straight to the comments😂

THAT DUDE ON THE LEFT Please stop before l jump through the phone you ain't on his level and you not built like that

Dude with the glasses something is wrong with you

Dude in the black is like a old hating wash lady.. Dude in the red is real cool and NEEDS HIS OWN CHANNEL PLEASE!!! Bro in the red drop that other dude off and push on with your channel because he is holding you back and is super country!! I love southern but this dude is dusty country please leave him on the plantation and keep it pushing.

The dude on the left has been blazing too many cocoa puffs. This part alone, with the fact that it was written circa 86-87 leaves his opinion in infamy "take you for a walk through hell/ Freeze your dome then watch your eyeballs swell"

when im gone then u could joke..

Straight up guy in the glasses...give it up now. You have sinned against the g.o.d MC. Step off now for your man's sake.

Rakim was out before Big Sean. Wow!

The same type of dudes who listen to Kodak black

Back in the 80's his song Microphone fien was my favorite.

Homie in the red is listening for real. Homeboy in the glasses thinkin about Lil Uzi Vert

8:25 LOL! He sound like the dude at the playground claiming he's better than Lebron.

Pure 🔥💪🏿

3:42 That bar's hard because it's a reference to his other song that he raps about how he'll handle 3 sets of seven emcees (21 all together)🎤🎶🔥🔥🔥

This brother need to know the history of rakim before you make a legitimate opinion of him

Go back and listen to how Run DMC and Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five was rhyming to how Rakim was rhyming. He was the pioneer that change the way emcees rapped/spit back then that's why he's so revered as an emcee. He made emcees step up their bars. If you listen to it in that fashion you'll appreciate this song so much more then you did the first time you listened to it..

" take you for a walk through hell Feed your dome then watch your eyeballs swell Guide you out of triple stage darkness When it get dark again then I'ma spark this Microphone 'cause the heat is on, you see smoke And I'm finish when the beat is gone, I'm no joke" Rakim. like really nigga pay attention. what u listening today aint hip hop. the mainstream took that word hip hop and added corny niggas to sound dumb. They dumb down the culture and they most deff dumb you down too. You make yourself look stupid. Rakim would murder big sean in a rap battle. watch rakims freestyle or hear rakims song dont sweat the teqnuiqe or Juice (know the ledge) or in the ghetto.

These dudes country the question is where they from and it tell you a lot about them

Straight fire! This new generation don't understand our music at all.

Best rapper alive

NOW THATS REAL HIP HOP!!!!

Y'all look like you've been smoking the pipe musically lol

Again the nigga in the black is a serious idols and Rakim is the first emcee to have rhythm to his flow and rhymes,,real talk and facts

Lazy listener. That's all. No curse words, no drug talk, no car, money or gun talk and no disrespect to women. All skill talk. New rappers dont talk that cuz they have no skills. Rakim is a top 5 rapper on 90% of the industry list.

MURDER RAKIM???? U WILDIN DAWG

The guy was talking about remixing the song. Another guy bitin' Rakim's shit.

I just realized he’s name dropping a couple of his other hits in the 3rd verse

What did he say clever? THE WHOLE SONG! But, let's go with just this: They think that I'm a new jack but only if they knew that They who think wrong are they who can't do that Style that I'm doing, they might ruin Patterns of paragraphs based on you and Your offbeat dj, if anything he play Sound familiar, I'll wait til e say Play 'em, so I'mma have to dis and broke You could get a smack for this, I ain't no joke

Tell Homie in the black....We see him on the short yellow Bus 😆

Dude in the black find a bridge and see if you can fly

Wow. Just wow. One of the greatest lyricist of all times ; if no the actual greatest and dude in the black is???? Just wow. His lyrics would literally destroy rapper today and before. Rakim was a revolutionary rapper. Dude in black remind me of lil xan when he said 2Pac was boring to listen too. Really??

Young new generation chump

He's not listening and didn't understand the context of the song and how it related to the title and that hip hop era. He was listening for something he could relate to that's why he didn't get it.

Who is the dude on the left?

He said can he rap or are we just exaggerating like we usually do. Man please. If you can recite a young thug song then you need to work at the UN as a translator. I turned this shyt off when he said that.

Shout to homie in the red hoodie.

Do a do-over with Rakim. Listen to "Melody". There are tracks by Big Daddy Kane had you listened to instead of "Ain't No Half Steppin'", you would never listen to him again. You're missing out if you don't try other tracks by Rakim.

That's why rap is where it is today. Aint sht!!!

React to Jay Z "The Watcher 2" feat Dr Dre and RAKIM Young Thug was influenced by Lil Wayne. Lil Wayne was influenced by Mobb Deep. Mobb Deep was influenced by RAKIM. Big Sean was influenced by Eminem and Biggie. Every rapper on Eminems top ten list was influenced by RAKIM. Biggie was influenced by RAKIM. This song has been sampled 70 times by different artist and has been remade numerous times. 🤔Oh you about to do a remake too??? Lol "If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants." But you don't hear that.

What yall don't get at that time nobody was rapping like that alot of styles came from him if you wasnt there you dont know what you just heard

Two things...it's going to be impossible to get someone born in the late 90's early 2000's to relate to this. Secondly, much of what Rakim talks about is steeped in NOI idealogy and this used to go over the heads of peers and contemporaries. Given that, can't get mad at him😀

what u got 2 say herb🤔 speechless........

You don’t understand the time frame

The godfather = Rakim

If you don't like Eric B, & Rakim, you ain't a hip hop fan. Disliked Af!

Mannnn that dude in the black is over the top. Is his brain whoop

if you aint catch what they was saying.. you def one of those 7 mc's

Never delete this video:)

Are these dudes slow or high??

Who's this CLOWN METRO WHO?? oh u wanna b METRO BOOMIN...OH i C😂😂

These cats wouldn't recognize good music if it slapped them in the mouth !

birds who live in a cage can’t understand birds who fly

💩 with glasses 👓 is mad trippin.

yo fam, you on the left in the black, you need an ear exam . set that appointment up

Guy on left is ignorant. Rakim is the God MC, if you don't see it that's on you.

Hip hop !!!!

My brotha in the red, go solo. Rakim changed the game. A real lyricist, not like all these mumble rappers of today's era.

All I gotta say is young thug... you ain’t hood but yo it is what it is 80’s baby

Marco what would u know you sound country

I hold the microphone like grudge!!!

You are a CORNBALL!!!! With GLASSES.

son u buggin, big shine?????

Obviously dude on the left does not know hip-hop damn shame

Dude on the left brain is too slow...talkin about muderin RAKIM ??😆😆😆

I’m crying at all this hate mail y’all got

Dude, my man's said he will take you for a walk through hell freeze your dome watch your eyeballs swell. What more do you need, Rakim is a legend stop hating.... This clowns of today can't rap, if that's what you call it.......

I"m super late on this but I'm curious as to how you younger dudes are feeling and THIS is beyond comedy. First, let's start with the problem; You young dudes are ALL about beats, thus leaving you void of understanding what hip hop is. Lyrical content means NOTHING to you all. That's why the majority is following dress and high heel wearing autotune junkies. LYRICALLY, which you all don't comprehend, lyrics matter... Rakim is not the legend or even called the "GOD MC" for nothing. But ya boy in the black wouldn't know that because he slow AF and the NERVE talking about Eric Bum or he would "murder' Rakim.... LMFAO, the Hip Hop community is laughing at you. Second, pull up his catalog..... NO, not his 1 album or features that you all go crazy over, CATALOG. This man done inspired the likes of LEGENDS.. NAS, Jay Z, DMX, Canibus, EMINEM, BUSTARHYMES..... I mean I could go on but you still won't get it. I can't wait to hear what you did over this beat cause TRUST me I KNOW it's going to be a complete DUMPSTER FIRE going TRIPLE COPPER

The guy on the left showed total disrespect to the God MC

He's mad 😡 because he wasn't cussing and talking about women calling them hoes 7:15

Lyrics

Nah Listen to "Follow the Leader". Ain't no Joke isn't his best song.
