Rakim on Why He Left Dr. Dre, Dre Only Wanting Him to Rap Gangsta Lyrics (Part 4) 

He's definitely used profanity before

@Seyi Ajayi in the song mahogany he says f*** around and missed the show

You write even though I never use the n word myself it's time for people to stop using that fucking stupid word my man and I'm mexican by the way

Nah... A "real" man does what the fuck he wants...

@@mikekings5265 you're talking like a fucking idiot...

tony almeda FACTS!!

When I B On Tha Mic on The Master is an amazing track. Imagine a whole album of tracks like that WOW!

tony almeda that would b a fuckin classic no doubt

tony almeda dr dre is the laziest producer of all time .L.P.O.A.T

Vincent J. Newman Don't Forget "It's Been A Long Time" "New York"(Ya Out There) "Waiting For The World To End" & "CLASSIC"

GEEK Assault FACTS!!

GEEK Assault Always.

LeeroyGreen Obviously you’re not familiar with Rakim and his voice, speech.

i hold the microphone like a grudge

Hohepa Hape 👊🤛

Maybe he could have mad something like a Good Kid, Maad City.

Nothing wrong with being weird. I like who I am, so what others think can go to hell.

Jonathan Soko why?

suaved well said👏🏼

Jonathan Soko and you sound like a bitch lol

Grandmaster Caz ans Melle Mel are lethal mcs that never gets mention, if you a true hip hop head you knows..

@@learner5090 right but everyone says jsy z and lil Wayne are better and also nobody never mentions yhe 80s rappers I'm starting to like 80s rap better than 90s rappers mow in a way even though I respect both

Melle Mel? Come on bruh, there’s something called “wrong humility”. Rakim could smoke Mel any day within two bars.

​@@smavi4133there would be no Rakim without Melle and the other forefathers. Hes acknowledging hes just carrying on tradition in remembrance of those who came before him. Young cats can learn from that kind of honor, humility and conduct.

🙏🏽

AlJalandhari not all hero’s wear capes & uniforms. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I'd rather watch the whole thing and get to it eventually, this is Rakim Allah man... foh.

💯

My guy!

Only beats up woman.

U rite but he dnt produce other do but he get the credit

but he made many real G

@@1036911242 Yep. But he was beating up a female, n most of his song was sample. That's why i love Quik more than Dre

Studio Gangsta

Terry Turner so true. he is a mc and didn't sell his soul for $$$

Because he is Hip Hop.

Banter Bulldogge ...dude, 🤫

He did

@@youmadfunnydude602 nah he didn't

Pete Rock

He's the best MC not a god

Vinmoonsu then his career was almost dead

💯

Dre's a fucking sell-out, just like all big-time rappers. He writes about what he's told to write about.

Dre thought he could take the game with him, but Pac had it on lock & I'm pretty sure folks was waiting on Snoop's next album.

Banter Bulldogge 🤔 u buggin the fuck out...😂😂😂😂

Not only that he’s too much of a perfectionist. Detox might never come out

Dre ain’t the producer he just a dope mixer,all others do the beats he just takes credit for it.

Yes he is king 🤴

lee shut the hell up it's always some dumb fuck bringing up stupid shit they do that shit to Mayweather so what everybody knows stop bringing up old shit stay on topic

lee that's your mom job

True

and shooting guns at them through bathroom doors

lee .. fact easy e & Pac 50 is rite dre f... fake producer

Nah, Dre wanted to keep doing that "what's good for a few is bad for the hood" stuff and Ra is true to knowledge of self and promoting ideas based on cultural awareness. Dre went from rapping about how he didn't smoke weed to being Mr. Chronic. Ra? Steady and true since My Melody.

Age difference, I think plays a big part in classic collabs or everything...love hiphop 💛💛🌎🌏🌍🌋🌋✈✈👑👑

Aye real talk i think if they revisit that at this point and time things would be different. Ra need that production the L's are there he just need that ish he someone to give him some slaps.

that's funny you should say that some people feel that the West Coast accent sounds funny lol

You from the WestCoast. What do you care how somebody from New York sound?!

Thats the raw black masculinity you dont hear too often these days with the fear of unapologetic "black" hetersexual males and promotion and force feeding of homosexualism

@@prestonjefferson3349 Because we're bombarded with the New York sound since birth if we watch television, movies or listen to radio, because a lot of stuff is made there, and other people are more observant than you apparently, if you're dumb enough to complain that someone else is noticing an accent from another region. Here, I'll put it in your terms: I don't care where you're from, and it isn't your business to complain about people being smarter than you.

The Southern accent is the worst

Dude, ain't no one interested in how long yu been listening to Hip Hop.. or how old yu R.

have you heard the rhymes from del from hieroglyphics DEL is GOAT

@@irvingdelahoz9390 Ice cubes cousin! Loved the hyroglyghics

No doubt!

One of many God's truth tellers be....

I love The Master album...My favorite Hip-Hop album of all time.

Rivalthedon ...i know we all have our preferences but damn tht album out of the entire history of hip hop*

Part 4 the 18th letter the prophecy progessor

Rivalthedon good shout family. Amazing album

Loren Latino yes that album is what I listen to when I’m about to make music myself. I love that album. I think it’s really slept on.

wurlbfree1981 FACTS!!

none higher

James Wilson You right I meant to say Rakim was just on some lyrical acrobatic type shit.

Dre had Eminem at his peak at the time and Eminem isn't remotely gangsta rap.

Rakim was in the socially conscious time w Public enemy, intelligent hoodlum and company

@@samsonokoro5036 he talked about driving in a car talking to his daughter with her dead mother in the trunk.

Samson Okoro not to mention Kendrick. Or Busta Rhymes. Or D.O.C.

all worked out for the best

Heat and Back Down was originally for Rakim💯

Really!?

Jimmys Bakery, I get what you're saying,but in this case, opportunity goes both ways. Dre would cash in on Rakim's ability and legecy as well. Should have been a win/win but being the man Rakim is you can't dismiss the fact he is far from some controllable little boy. Not to be manipulated in any sense of the word. I respect your opinion regardless 👍🏽🎙️

Bill McCrumn hip hop over gangsta rap

Jimmys Bakery lol

Pat amen

Bill McCrumn respect

Make them dance to this❤

djtjtoo 72 👊🏾✊🏾

Eric b in my book is the king of rap always was no one can come close to his style i think the reason why he didn't do it it's 2 diffrent styles of rapping Eric b is real rap straight from the hart dr dre gangstar rap it's not his style good for you Eric b go with what your hart tells you the true king of rap keep knocking them dead much love

Cani who. Dont have me call up LL Cool J ! lol

@@daebow1 I litterly never hear people say ll won that beef anymore I guess your one of the reamaing few a rare find

Plug Industries 18th

You're right. Shame on me

Lol Makim

18th letter

forgetfulfunctor1 😂😂😂

Rafat Shareef influence and sales don't mean anything. Imo Rakim is 2nd best. K Rino is first

@@seekerundue man I have never even heard of the guy, never in anybody's top 30. He's prolly like DMX or something like that

Rafat Shareef listen to these songs by him: K Rino - If Words Could Kill K Rino - Duality K Rino - Feel My Flow

@@seekerundue I guess that's your opinion. He's not my favourite rapper he does sound a lot like DMX and his flow isn't the best, at least to me. My top rappers consist of Andre 3000, Big Boi, Tupac, Biggie, Eminem, Rakim, Jay-Z, Nas, Ice Cube, and Guru.

Rafat Shareef nice list. Imo top 10 goats K Rino Rakim Chino XL - Wordsmith Kool G Rap - Executioner Style Eminem Nas MC Ren - Same Old Shit AZ - The Format Big L RA The Rugged Man - Uncommon Valor Those are songs too if u wanna check them out. MC Ren is like Tupac and biggie in one person--but with street cred too

Aaron Gibbs or dead

He good

FACT...when u know what u know👌🏻

Rawjan 39 "the only rapper"? Lol... u know how many rappers have come from new york since the 70s? Lol

Marc NY c'mon man. Did you really just post this? I was just saying when I see Rakim I think New York and hip hop. Of course I know Grandmaster flash, Moe Dee, Treaches 3, Run DMC and list goes on. When I see Fat Joe it's just Fat Joe . He doesn't give me that New York vibe. Hold Up....... Too Me.

Rawjan 39 u dont get a new york vibe from any of the new york rappers other than rakim... ok dude lol

No Nas? Kool G Rap?

What about Nas

So I'ma let my knowledge be born to a perfection. All praises due to Allah and that's a blessing

With knowledge of self it's nothing I can't solve. In 3 hundred 60 degrees I'll revolve. It's an actual fact it's not an act, it's been proven indeed and I'll proceed to let the crowd keep movin'✊

Mr. Cap Nina all the beats 50 got from Dre were originally for Rakim

UNKNOWN THE MYSTERIOUS

you just described jay z

It is called having morals and values. Rakim never has been about promoting death and violence. He has been the same with uplifting records. That is not being narrow minded. It just didn't work because they had different views in life.

THEDARKSIDEOFTHEFORCE66 exactly bro, Dr Dre is the one I'm referring to as narrow minded bro

Cool I dig it then you are right!

Ben Mekar you’re smarter than that lol

Maybe it took Rakim to tell him it's not going to work. To allow Kendrick to be free in doing the album the way he wanted too.

Clayton DaGreatOne *“So Addictive”, and yeah, his verse is fire

This is not a Vlad video this is his black exploitation video vlad a black wannabe... go back to Russia....

how was the watcher 2 not a live up to expectations brother? just my opinion

@@josereynoso2560 Yeah, that's a great song. But Rakim is on the remix. That beat was made for Dre and Em; Jay and Rakim were brought in after the fact. I'm mainly talking about The Firm. Listen to that album, then listen to what Nas was doing around that time (It Was Written), AZ, Cormega. All their solo stuff was more lively because they were working with producers with whom they had real chemistry. Likewise, look at the stuff Dre did for Snoop. It's tailor made for him. The Dre x East Coast stuff just never found its groove, in my opinion. And you can see why: Dre wanted Rakim to do gangsta rap so that he'd sound good on Dre's beats. But maybe Dre should have been trying to find a style to fit Ra's rhymes. Maybe Dre wasn't willing to compromise? Maybe Ra wasn't interested in Dre's vision? Stuff like that happens all the time in art/ entertainment. Collaboration is about coming together to make a whole new sound that showcases the best of each artist. Sometimes personality, ego, or limitations get in the way.

@@dramaskrybe yeah as a dre stan i can agree with that my brother

Loren Latino Daz definitely has better beats

Dre's ghostproducers like Hitman or Scott Storch more underrated lol

Ian Marius ...sure*lmao*...who made still d.r.e the classic beat tht it is?say no more*

Dre punched white female rapper Terrie B, full on in the face, back in the day, after she criticized his production skills.

Word. Dre is super way overrated. It's laughable.

4 real

Right

JONAH you up to something

lots of horrible human beings out there....and the end of the day ra could be one of them...of course i dont think he is but you talking about the brother like you know him! while telling other people to do thet homework lol smh...

Lets Get it Thank you.

NJD people grow up and their brains develop fully, they abandon their childish ways.. well that's how it's supposed to happen.

@@mudejartrainingnaturalscie6938 nahh, just an assumption. Lots of adults are even pettier than kids

numark 24 If that was how he felt they would never have gotten to the recording stage. But yes, he can’t sell records on a Dre level. Not many people can.

Yeah that was around the time he dropped Been there, done that & that shit flopped. So he went back to what people knew him for & increased his paper close to a billion.

it nuttin funny stop smilin be still dont nuttin move but the money

They probably both were excited

I don't know if there is just one "best"! Check out "My Melody", from beginning to end....and try to pick just one, lol! 'cause my strategy has to be tragedy, catastrophe..... and after this you'll call me your majesty.... My Melody
