My God. This is going to be the biggest hip-hop record
ever, straight up and coming at you from Aftermath, baby,

"I get my vibes from the street, know what I'm sayin'? I
study life," he said, "and when I'm in the street, I live
it as much as I can, but then I got to record it all. So
when I go home to write, you know what I'm saying, I can
remember certain situations, you know what I'm saying, in More...

    ------ About the song In the Ghetto performed by Rakim

You're the worst judge ever. Tupac is the greatest songwriter ever. And I don't wanna say that Rakim is not great, he is, but Tupac is Tupac. You obviously haven't heard Tupac well. Try songs like unconditional love, where he wrote stuff like "I ask my mama why, I got this urge to die, witness the tears fallin' free from her eyes before she could reply...". Or listen to So many tears, keep ya head up or dear mama, brenda's got a baby, trapped, changes and so many others... Tupac was a prophet and a voice for one generation, and you can't dirty up his memory, "judge". Fuck you.

    ------ About the song Lyrics of Fury performed by Rakim

What can I say. As far as I know, no rapper has ever openly tried to battle Rakim....respect or fear? Either way if you are a true fan of hip hop this is in your top 5! Pure genius. There will never be another, the days of this kind of rap and rapper are long gone. Oh, by the way not one curse word used.

    ------ About the song Lyrics of Fury performed by Rakim

It is an interesting thing. When I was young, I listened to all types of Hip Hop from BDP, EPMD to Big Daddy Kane, Cool G Rap and many many others. As I have matured I have changed my music tastes considerably. I now prefer to listen to blues, jazz and classic rock. Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin etc. It is quite a transformation and not many could believe how I had changed to such different tastes.

The main reason I changed my taste in music is that Rap music was just not what it used to be. It was becoming more violent, gangster oriented (especially when NWA came out), and generally the "art" was being lost. It was about being "bad" and condoning and almost encouraging violence, and quite frankly, I didn;t hear anything pleasing to the ear any longer.

Through my transformation, however, I have always remained loyal and able to listen to Eric B and Rakim. In my opinion he (they) was definitely the "baddest" of the bunch. His bragadocious style was far different, it was almost non-violent in it's word play and inuendos. His delivery was smooth and complex, but it didn't sound complex when he delivered it, this is a major skill in itself; to make the complex appear simple. His desire to craft something was brilliant and I have not heard any other rapper match his style or delivery; not even close. He truly was and has been the best lyricist that Hip Hop ever had. He has been imitated many many times by many different rappers (as most great companies/inventions/musicians generally azre) but noone has touched him, and as another posted said, he made this album in 1988, probably the greatest hip hop album ever and it is almost 20 years ago. Just as the greatest rock and blues musicians were from years past, he represents the best of the best.

I personally would love to see him reconcile with Eric B and somehow get back into the studio together. I am not sure if this is feasible, but when I listen to songs like No Omega (From album 3), Follow The Leader, Move The Crowd, The R and Musical Massacre it becomes painfully obvious to me that they worked unbelievably well together (along with the other studio hands that worked on their first 2 albums), and sometimes, you just have to give it another try, just to at least say they did, it would be the first new rap album I would have bought in over 10 years if they did.

Anyways, it is wishful thinking, but I always hold out hope that somehow they would get together again (or some underground stuff would leak out) as it is truly a joy to listen to their work. This album to me represents the pinnacle of where Hip Hop was and COULD have been. What is amazing as they almost tried to NOT be commercial and yet, I don't think anyone who knows anything about Hip Hop can stand their ground if they don't own their albums. 5 Stars.
