He wasn't cursing. It was just a video version. At that time videos were still on TV and certain things were edited in addition to curses such as n-word, and references to guns and drugs. Check out the unedited, I'm sure it's no big deal

He was not CURSIN'. HE was saying the 'N' word.

Love all the cameo's in this video

Yo, I miss y'all bro. I turned my notifications back on and BAM this pop up.

"YOU JUST LIED" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Glad I kept watching to the end. You almost got comment section dealt with. 😂✌🏾 Rakim always had a song here and there with a curse in it. The thing is he never has to lean on curses to fill a verse. In this song he cursed once and I bet most people wouldn’t even catch it. The rest of the edits were for the n word. Ra is still the God MC today. ✌🏾

He said ninjas they bleep out

even EM respects GOD MC and holds him in high regards

Rakim cursed in his very first single, Check Out My Melody. That he never curses is a myth. He just did it very rarely.

Rakim "Guess Who's Back" "It's Been A Long Time" "The 18th Letter"

Definitely need to bring Justo and everybody else back and react to that Big Pun Capital Punishment album. That would be 🔥

You guys tricked me! I loved the elevated convo between 2 art lovers. Subscribed fam :D

The sample is M.O.P.

Rakim just dropped a new song called Be ILL

That's one of many rhymes that he wrote. His use of curse words pales in comparison to the amount of profanity that is used today. He still has something to say.

Rakim used language that radio censored from his first single “Eric B Is President”. He rarely did that but over the years he even dropped the “f” word a couple times before going solo. Cursing isn’t just for when you have nothing to say. Sometimes it provides emphasis to a statement which we all do. And yeah, bring the crew back. Ya'll do excellent work. Peace

He said “45 holders” & they bleep that…smh

raklim =goat

Dropped a few N-Bombs and it was also silent when he said .45 holders. Gun references and drug talk would get edited out to get the video played on MTV and BET. Master P was not a good rapper, but he did spit real shit. He felt authentic, as did the whole No Limit roster. P wasn’t a great lyricist, but he has great charisma, and he had plenty of good-great talent following his orders.

DO "LYRICS OF FURY" by Rakim Lets forget all the goofyness

Do "ITS BEEN ALONG TIME"!! by Rakim

He didn’t curse, they bleeped out the N word

He just was saying ninjas, then the scratch was saying ninjas.

Check out my melody. ..in think y'all did follow the leader. Do. " ghetto ". Raking the God MC lotta reasons why any of these rappers picked up a mic

do Casualties Of War

“Be Ill” by the god Rakim, Kurupt, and the Master Killa. Check it out.

Y’all should listen to Pitch Black next the song It’s All Real

He ain’t cursing, they bleep it out because he sayin the N word

Not everybody got to give up a 💰 for a baddie. Most dudes lack game and patience. And to dude with the jacket, Rakim is saying Nigga like we all do. A if you're sensitive you can take it as a curse word, but your being a distraction from the Bars. Don't place judgement on the one that cemented in the Game. Anything said now for a man that made His bones early and well respected, it's hate. Facts make a argument valid, Fiction and lies àre Hate and Animosity.

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Rakim only cursed one time! And dat was in Let The Ryhtmn hitem

It's so much music out there. Out youth should tap into. Y'all doin good. Dead prez shyheim on and on. P better than music today

He aint really cursing ,and the cuts have the n word so they bleep it

Ya mans is slacking with his facts. Ra said what he said on Paid in Full- musta missed it. He’s saying igga with a N by the way. Primo is a goat on the beats. Go ahead compare him to Eric B. It’s ok if you’re out your lane. Please, let your knowledge be born about who is better if the 17th letter is trash

He didn't cuss.

Next time...Google the lyrics OG. & Did you guys buy your KZfaq name? If not .... Make sure no one owns it. Or big 💰💰💰💰 later

Listen to Heavy D don't curse
