Before the hate starts Rakim was definently ahead of his time no doubt, but since Paid in Full what other classic material has he made? S*** matter of fact what classic collab or feature has he had.......ever? He not top five material.

Top Ten:
1. Jay-z
2. Nas
3. Biggie
4. 2pac
5. Em
6. Lil Wayne (I don't like him personally but I respect his flow)
7. Rakim (Ironic he's number seven w/him being a God Body and all)
8. Scarface
9. Snoop
10. Ice Cube

Honorable Mention: 50 prior to TOS (I think Curtis was a solid album), Jada Kiss & Fabolous, LL Cool J (I don't like even dude he tried to play Canibus)

*This list above consist of Sales, Influence, Lyrics, Beats, Longevity, Delivery, Metaphors, and Subject Matter.

let the rhythym hit em
juice( know the ledge)


i cant front..his style is a bit dated...but i guess thats cool since in 86 he was spittin like it was 93....he just seemed to have stopped at 93..

lmaooo


i agree to a point...
I agree from 1 to 5 but wheres is krs1 on yah list dog and rakim set the tone my dude but what about g-rap
rakim was the first rapper to sign a million dollar deal
good f***** list. all these other kids r so biased. this list is very respectable...even tho i f****** hate nas. dont kno about biggie's longevity
WOW ...LET ME JUST CLEAR THIS UP ..RAKIM WAS DEFIANTLY AHEAD OF HIS TIME ..SO FAR AHEAD OF HIS TIME THAT IF YOU THROUGH HIS JOINTS ON RIGHT NOW HE'D STILL BE SMASHING RAPPERS IN THE HEAD ..HIS FLOW WAS WICKED , HIS WORD PLAY WAS CRAZY ...IF YOU WAS TO ASK SOME OF THE HOTTEST MCS IN THE GAME RIGHT NOW WHO WERE THEY LISTENING TO RAKIM WOULD BE MENTIONED 9 OUT 10 TIMES ..... SO HANDS DOWN HE SHOULD BE ON ANY TRUE HIP HOP'S LIST ..BECAUSE OF HIS INFLUENCE,LYRICS,DLEIVERY ,METAPHORS AND SUJBECT MATTER ....
AND HE'S STILL DOING IT
i looove rakim's music..

i just think his flow now is very dated....

u dont think so fam?
I'M A BIG FAN OF RAKIM SO TO ME HIS VOICE IS WHAT MAKES HIM ...BUT ITS HIS LYRICS AND DELIVERY THAT SETS HIM APART FROM EVERYONE ...
FOR YOU NEW JACKS LISTEN TO THE WORD PLAY
i agree....

this is a hard one...i been f***** wit ra since 86..my melody

but as hip hop evolved..i think his flow and his slang is very dated..i dunno..it just doesnt feel the same anymore....

50 was the only thing keeping that shithole afloat. Even Busta had his issues around aftermath/interscope. they ain't been straight since the game situation. eminem only floats cause of white fan base. #SK
