Rakim - Kool G Rap Got Punched And It Was Eric B To The Rescue (247HH Archives) 

Rakim only dude that doesn't even gotta rhyme. Could just throw a beat on any conversation & it'd sound dope. lol

Replace the statue of liberty with statue of rakim with burnin mic as a torch

“I bust out laughing, Eric B looked like Batman with his cape flying across the floor” 😂🤣😂

Rakim should be the NYC logo... you can't get more New York than him...

This brother shifted the Matrix in Hip Hop and did it without one curse. That's a real blessing. God lyricism in the flesh. Pay homage to that brother.

In the Hood..... When someone says "To make a long story short"..... It ends up being a long story Anyway! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

You know what's funny? Rakim sounds like he's gona start rappin when he talks. lol

I ain't braggin on my knuckle game but I'm kinda nice wit my joints

It always feels like '88 again when I see Rak in a interview. Everybody from NYC talked exactly like this back then

Rip to my pops he told me the story about this when I was a kid he was there that night. He was a big Eric B and Rakim fan.

Rakim knows how to tell a story

0:57.... This part is Hilarious!!!! "Yo this Kat just snuffed me, BOOM BOOM BOOM".... Rakim was like "WORD"! kept counting that money. 😂😂😂

NY guys never become old. they dress the same and talk the same forever trust me it takes one to know one lol NYC 4 life!

This story is legendary in my hometown. Always heard about this story growing up. I've bumped into some cats that were there that night at Sports World. It's a few versions on the way it went down and I'll leave it at that. And its Rocky Mount. Everyone from out of town says Rocky Mountain. Salute to the God Emcee.

Wow I loved this! Never saw him talk so much or be so animated! Damn he's such a legend! So humble! 😍

I love his style and I am loving this interview.

MY FAVORITE RAPPER 4 LIFE . GOT ALL YOUR MUSIC EVEN BOOTLEG STUFF, STILL PLAYING TO THIS DAY. MUCH LOVE FROM CALI

That's the real God emcee

I’d love to see Rakim and LL do an album together just for old times sake 🤞🏻

Eric b "2 somethin, thinking he gon do somethin". Even when he's just talkin, he's rhymin

Rakim is tht dude I seen him whn he came to the Philly Expo I got a pic wit the God Mc and my dude ain’t even front on me he gave me time to get the camera right n all thn took flight after our pic shout out to Rakim

A classic story by the Legends of Hip Hop Eric B and Rakim. Hope to see them back together sometime in the future. Hip Hop needs some music from y'all we miss the Eric B and Rakim sound.

"I'm kinda nice with my joints"

I do not support violence, but The god emcee, made it sound goooood.

if u from the streets n can't fist fight. ure the problem in our community.

Baddest cat to ever do it and the definition of NY Swag. Waiting on a joint with Rah and Preem, Large P, Tip, Dre, Eric B, and Pete Rock....

LEGEND HAS IT THAT RAKIM IS STILL THINKING OF A MASTER PLAN

The most New Yorkian Cat In the history of New Yorkers. Lol I was blessed to have an opportunity to meet Rakim back in the mid 90" s Ultra Cool Brother. We had a 20 to 25 minute talk about jazz recordings that ill always remember..now at the time I had a decent little Jazz record collection going and i thought I really knew my shit when it comes to that form of music but whew! Man,Rakim was a Human Encyclopedia of Jazz Music!. He was rattling off must have recordings I never knew existed at time!.naming musicians in quartets and quintets and their individual recordings, The whole bit It was impressive to say the least!!.thinking back on it though,it was during the midst of what later would be known as "The Golden Era" of Hip Hop and back then,New York Hip Hop was All over that Heavy Jazz frequency.they did not fuck around with it they were serious aficionados who in my humble opinion helped usher in what I saw as a straight up renaissance of sorts in the mind s of younger listeners at least with how the Jazz was incorporated into the songs back then.. anyhow,that short conversation with The R changed my entire outlook on jazz that I still carry with me to this day..I doubt that the Brother would even remember the convo but I know that I will never forget it..Salute To The God MC and Thanks for the life changing Music Appreciation Lesson.

Epic story. I love how colorful Rakim told it and he did it so N.Y. 😂😂😂 I wish Rakim would do an album and rhyme over tracks made by DJ Premier, Large Professor, Pete Rock, The Bomb Squad and Dr. Dre or any of the younger badass producers who'd compliment Rakim's style. Hands down, like bank safe dropped off the top of a sky scraper... Rakim is GOD! Rakim is top 5 all-time... And still #1 on my list!!!

The cooooooliest rappers Eric B and Rakim. New respect for Eric B on a recent interview on RU-vid- textbook way to answer questions in an interrogation or interview! Never heard him speak until this year.

My nigga said hit him with a 2 piece

Rakim God Allah speaking facts on this joint....was at Sportsworld the night that shit went down. Like 13 14 yrs old then😂😂😂, thanks Ra, u took me back on this one.

that dude probably around right now bragging that he got two pieces by Rakim

These brothas are legends!!! My Fav MC of my LIFETIME, and that's real!!!

knuckle game lol. go Rah

that was a good ass story! love Eric B and Rakim!!! Rap Royalty right there. dnt really get no better than them to and for me!

heres a list of my favorite eric b rakim RUMORS FROM THE 80s during their peak. 1)Paid In Full Posse showed up to 5% Nation rally 6 Range Rovers deep. 2)In 86 Rakim had a shootout in Claremont PJs in the BX after a show in the center. 3)Rakim got caught by cops in the 90s in BK w/a few keys of yay. 4)ERIC B got caught by cops w/guns & yay in his turntable cases in Philly. LOL 5)Eric B would drive his Rolls Royce from NYC to Baltimore/DC and back. these RUMORS only added to the mystique of what we already knew and saw of them. I'm quite sure they've heard a few of em. rakim even addressed the alleged drug bust rumor in one of his rhymes.

Awesome!! Rakim and G rap..Rap royalty.

RAKIM is the 🐐 love how he tells a story!
