Everybody had those baby Benz’s, on the come up…

Legendary bars with a legendary dj cutting n scratching

Rakim skill still outshine rappers

Way back ❤

Everyone take notes 📝 This is how it's done!!

I sometimes see people on social media wondering why Rakim is still so revered, when there are now dozens of really nice MCs out there. Context is important. When this dropped, we hadn't heard ANYTHING like this before. It's the first record on the album and it's like, oh my God, what is this? It blew our minds. It was on another level entirely. KRS-One probably had a similar effect on me, but no one was touching Rakim back then. And it's still fun to BUMP

I foal.

🔥💯✌️😎🇵🇷

I was 4 yrs old when this dropped and remember it though 😂. My man Flaaaavooorrr flaaaavvv YEEEAAAHHHH BOOOIIIIIII 😂

Rakim changed hiphop music in his time and gave it different sounds and flows
he's definetly one of goat

I PROMISE ya'll those track suits were 💯 percent silk which was crazy expensive back then. Ask me how I know🤌🏾

The best there was , and ever will be!!!

Yo guys he ain't no joke

"Guide you out of triple stage darkness"...

His lyrics are just pure genius! Still listening to this day! He has one of the most hard hitting bars when he was rapping and doing mathmatics at the same time..." I take 7 mc's put em in a line, add 7 more brothers, who think they can rhyme, well it'll take 7 more before I go for mine, now that's 21 mc's ate up at the same time"! Straight 🔥🔥 You can't make this shit up 😅

This takes me bk. Today is okd school jams 🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊

Happy birthday to the 1 and only god mc rakim🎉🎤
