    1. This Song is so Fuckin ill, Black Thought and Rakim? You should hang yourself if you have anything bad to say about this shit. 5/5

    2. niggas hate on rakim now, or ignore rakim now, simply because hes old. they make up shit that isnt true, like his last album was trash, and that he fell off. rakim in his 40’s still better than jay-z, nas, and all the niggas getting crowned king by the young boys. i love jigga and nas, but rakim is the god, and never came weak on the mic, ever. 7th seal was incredible front to back, ill concepts, strong beats, impeccable flow, BEST voice on wax. and black thought is a monster, rhyme animal. never came weak ever, black thought, one of the deadliest ever, running on 15 years. incredible collabo. g rap krs one and rakim still doing it, its these kids that lost the thread, ignoring it.

      1. Big Homie, they dont know nothing about HIP HOP. Rakim is a living legend. No body would be MCing if it was not for him, period.

        RESPECT the God !!!!!!!

      2. agreed
        rakim NEVER fell off people just think he has cause he’s been MIA for so long
        i didn’t hear his last album that came out recently i don’t think it did good numbers but i heard it was AMAZING?..

    3. just heard this. it’s a bit CHEAP, if you ask me. this is “IN THE GHETTO” from ‘LET THE RHYTHM HIT ‘EM’ album.

      only checked it, because of RAKIM.

    4. I will always love The Roots, I don’t care how old they are. Nobody can ever say they aren’t talented. How many hip hop groups actually play instruments and actually make their own music. I’ve seen them live 5 times (always amazing) they’re one of the few acts i’ve seen that actually sound better live.
