eric b and rakim were one of the best duo ever!!!!!

rakim doin tha damn thang.... classic like coca cola and cadillacs

word to Kenny Jean..damn right about that!

this brotha has a way of taking u on a lyrical ride..u just get lost in the words, and can literally SEE every word he saying..GREATEST of all time!

I ain't no joke, I use to let the mic smoke
Now I slam it when I'm done and make sure it's broke
When I'm gone, no on gets on, cause I won't let
nobody press up, and mess up, the scene I set
I like to stand in the crowd, and watch the people wonder "Damn!"
But think about it, then you'll understand
I'm just an addict, addicted to music
Maybe it's a habit, I gotta use it
Even if it's jazz or the quiet storm
I hook a beat up, convert it into hip-hop form
Write a rhyme in grafitti and, every show you see me in
Deep concentration, cause I'm no comedian
Jokers are wild, if you wanna be tamed
I treat you like a child, then you're gonna be named
Another enemy, not even a friend of me
Cause you'll get fried in the end, when you pretend to be
competing, cause I just put your mind on pause
And I complete when, you compare my rhyme with yours
I wake you up and as I stare in your face you seem stunned
Remember me? The one you got your idea from
But soon you start to suffer, the tune'll get rougher
When you start to stutter, that's when you had enough of
biting it'll make you choke, you can't provoke
You can't cope, you shoulda broke, because I ain't no joke

That right there is better than WHOLE ALBUMS!

the first 8 bars are better than anything on 2008 radio..PERIOD!

one of my fave top 5 Rakim (& Eric B.) joints!!!

Classic, just pure hip-hop.

Gotta take my hat to the inovator,originator hip-hop regulator!
