Pure brilliance from RAKIM ALLAH...From the song "FOLLOW THE LEADERS". "I'm everlastin, I can go on for days and days With rhyme displays that engrave deep as X-rays I can take a phrase that's rarely heard FLIP IT - now it's a daily word I can get iller than 'Nam, a killin bomb But no alarm - Rakim will remain calm Self-esteem make me super superb and supreme But for a microphone still I fiend" The R is nobody's equal!

He’s called the GOD MC for a reason. Listen to “My Melody” then you will understand why. He breaks down the 7 MC theory which in my opinion is the greatest bar in hip hop history

@JizzFloat Жыл бұрын

They actually called him the God MC because he was the first rapper in the mainstream spreading the message of the 5 percenters aka the nation of islam who refer to each other as God. The title God MC had nothing to do with him as a lyricist.

I was 14 or 15 when Rakim dropped. My mind was completely blown. Plus, he was the only brotha BOLD enough to call himself a God at that time, which planted a seed of self knowledge in me way back then. Because to me, if he looked like me, what made him call himself a God? There was only ONE other emcee that was top tier in his own light, and who was even close to Rakim at that time, and that was Big Daddy Kane. But Rakim literally changed the trajectory of rhyming and he is still, in my opinion, light years ahead of many. Just listen to his joint "The Mystery: Who is God" or "Holy Are You" to know what I mean.
