To know he wrote this as a teenager is MIND BOGGLING. Rakim is most definitely one of a kind. He is second to none. Hearing his lyrics is one thing but reading what he wrote is really something else. It's like how can you write something like this and then to rap it and make it flow is very difficult. NOTHING lyrically sounded like this at this time, even today nothing sound like this. "Musical Massacre" is something else too.

What most people miss is the Literation throughout this song: "Music Mixed Mellow Maintains to Make Melodies for Mc's, Motivates the breaks" "Self-esteem make me Super, Superb, and Supreme" "A Magnum as a Microphone, Murderin' Mc's" "Cause everytime I Stop it Seems ya Stuck Soon as ya try to Step off ya Self-destruct"

My Melody...As The Rhyme Goes On.....🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

One of the main samples used was from "Nautilus" by Bob James.

Nearly all hip hop from the this era had sampled percussion from James Brown and JBs. You literally hear all of hip hop, from breaks to split second samples. James Browns music is literally the canvas hip hop is painted on! Solid review✊🏾✊🏾

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

You're correct about the third rail. On New York train tracks is always the rail you try to avoid. Otherwise, if you touch it, you'll be electrocuted.
-
My all time favorite!
-
No, he's talking about taking you in outer space and you getting lost and having to follow him to get back. There's also a shot fired at Big daddy cane in this song. He's smashing this track.

This is why everyone no matter the generation have rakim in there top 5 he is the GOD
-
This is my favorite track from him. 2nd verse mad me question every MC in existence. "Follow the Leader" hook came from his first album. So he really was scratchin his own voice. The single was "I know You got Soul". You was absolutely right about the 3rd rail part which is the most dangerous part of the track because its a open power source.

Rakim jazz student applied to hip-hop the GOD
-
Rakim the god no curse words effing genius
-
They formed it after the movie "The Untouchables" with Deniro and Costner. The scene where Deniro imitates Capone with the baseball bat.

You are right the follow the leader scratch is actually him from another record

Rakim is the Well Spring from which all the Rap that followed after him, was heavily influenced by! His style and flow was unmatched then and even today! That's also why he is largely regarded as the GOAT in the Hip Hop Rap Game! Rakim came from a Musical🎶 family and actually played the Saxophone🎷when he was younger. That's a major reason why his rhymes schemes and bars where ahead of his time! Rakim understood Music🎶 and how to fit rhymes into the Bars with timing and rhythm like a trained Musician!🎷

For those who are young Millenials and Gen Z, in the verse...You're just a minute rapper/your rhymes are minute made/I'll be hear when it fade and watch it flip like a Renegade- There was a Jeep in the 80s called Renegade that used to flip over to the point where Chrysler had to recall them. I thought that was a crazy dope line at the time.
-
You got to remember if you wasn't into Rakim from the beginning you might not get the gist..he refers to his own previous lyrics and songs

Please do Canibus - "100 bars"
