LYRICAL ASSASSIN! | Eric B. & Rakim - Lyrics of Fury REACTION/REVIEW 

I found the song yall. Its called 'What Color is Soul' by Soul Intent. For some reason the instrumental reminds me of the guitar and idk why ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kEUNJWOG_3k.htmlfeature=shared Rakim Reactions ru-vid.com/group/PLC1d5Oqa-AjX1fxw2Cxe_M6djPSLuQhY5&feature=shared

greatest of all the time Rakim

Yes he was 18 when he recorded this. He was 16 when Eric B for president/My Melody dropped to the public . He was 17 when the album Paid In Full dropped in stores. Yes he single handedly changed the way people rapped at 17 years old. People like to act like he was older because of the tone & vocabulary in which he spoke, but you can’t argue release dates & his birthday. He was a monster from word go. If you came up in that era of hiphop you know it’s looked at like this…. Before Rakim & After Rakim. All those nonsense (Mickey Mouse/cat in da hat) raps went out the window when he first dropped. Immediately.

He was 18...and he told me he wrote it in the studio... PREMATURE GENIUS 🎤🎤 🎤🎤🎤

You are making me giggle! You are honoring him with your videos...love it!

NOBODY can touch this man... The God MC.

He's rhyming over the beat like a jazz horn player would freestyle a solo

Back in the day they used to have rap battles, like the last scene in 8 mile, in this song Rakim is describing the panic attack the other rappers get when battling him, " Suddenly you feel like your in a horror flick, grab your heart and wish for tomorrow quick, music's a clue when I come your warned, apocalypse now when I'm done your gone" before Rakim rap was simple rhymes, basic math, then Rakim came along with calculus , this is why Eminem and Jay-z have him in their top 5

The best. If you wonder what it reminds you of, maybe it is the same thing it reminds me of. I was in the marching band, and I've always thought his delivery reminds me of one of our marching cadences. He spits like a snare drum.

What’s good Careless Minds💯💯 Ur next Rakim Reaction has to be “Let THe Rhythm Hit EM” These are “Gun Bars” from Ra without cussing!!!!!!!!!!

Mannnnn that’s the big lyrics of alll that song … I was begging everybody to listen to it

YUP this was one is classic. He has one called "Run for Cover" peep that one.

My favorite Rakim joint as far as battle rap… He is sick yo!!

That's why he's called THE GOD EMCEE

Punisher!

That’s the GOD MC Rakim

Rah Kim album title,The mystery, song title Who is God. Keep up the great work lil bruh...

The beat is just taken from Funky Drummer by James Brown and the JB's (Clyde Stubberfield drumming). It's literally the most sampled drum beat of all time. It couls remind you of endless songs because it is in endless songs.

One of my favorites 💯

Rakim was and is the greatest Rap lyricists of all time. Some of the all time great Rappers in the history of hip hop, still verify this! For the record Rakim was a 5%er! The 5% Nation of God's on earth is an offshoot of the Nation of Islam🕌 and many 5%ers were the originators of Hip Hop! Just food for thought💭💡 Assalamualaikum ☝️🤲✌️🕊️

Great review. If you want to hear another hard-hitting rhyme flow from Rakim, try "Casualties Of War". Listen to the more updated version with the video. The video had more of a storyline.

He means after he rhymes let the Mic rest in peace...if you don't, his soul will release.

There's videos on YT of Clyde Stubblefield, the actual drummer, show how he created it. Check that out as well

Close your eyes and listen to this..

Other songs tho by Ra would be: let the rhythm hit em, no omega, in the ghetto, it’s nothing, message in the song, love 4 sale, untouchables and don’t sweat the technique

One thing never mentioned is that rah the god mc never cursed once in a verse. Not once

New RAKIM ALBUM DROPPING JULY 2024.. PRODUCED ENTIRELY BY RAKIM ALLAH!!

🔥🔥🔥

The Godfather period

Man, You need to react to the title track of this album, "Follow the Leader"

Mannnnnnnnnnnnn. Thks so much

Juice

Rakim the pioneer

“…a performance never again performed on the mic…”

Go into your kitchen or bathroom and turn the faucet on. See how it flows? Now turn your radio on and play Rakim. Same flow. Todays MC’s don’t have an actual flow. Rakim rides a beat like an instrument. His voice is an instrument itself.

Lucas with the lid off, Das EFX, Special Ed, please do a video for these songs.

Kool moe dee-I go to work

Think you’ll really enjoy “the punisher” by Rakim.. great reaction tho

“Follow The Leader” “Know The Ledge” “I Know You Got Soul” My 3 favs - Rakim fan from day 1 I was 14 when he dropped

Rakim caused other rappers to have to go back to the pad and rewrite they shit. He caused rappers to to change their lyrics, cadence, and style.

🔎

No he said blaze your eardrums meaning burn too!!

React to Ll Cool j-I’m bad

Only thing close to this flow wise is the punisher...but Ra has many styles...nothing sounds like this.

sanford and son? is that what it reminds me of.

James brown

I don't think he says "please or pleases." I hear "sounds did not only pounds but plagues your eardrums. It's a fearified freestyle, not a loveafied freestyle. I don't think pleases is adequate to the lyrical context of the song as a whole. Then he says, " I'll sit back and observe the whole scenery then nonchalantly tell you what it means to me. I don't think his intent is to please the listener. I think his intent to strike fear in the listener because who's to say that who's ever listening might want to step up and challenge him. Remember, he was 18 years old. That's my perspective, and I'm sticking to it. 😂😂😂😂

Thats a old FUNKADELIC song .

Great reaction, new sub. Can you do Rakim's? They didn't know the ledge

React to Cambatta (Hells Kitchen) That song layered like crazy.

React to The Saga Begins by Rakim
