The God MC Rakim talks about breaking up w/ Eric B and ill story about Kool G Rap. I think he ranks up there with Ghostface Killah, Combat Jack, and Dante Ross for crazy and insightful stories. Salute to HHHT for the vid.
Rakim speaks about Nas’ “Unauthorized Biograph of Rakim” track off of Street Disciple. Although, as fans, we thought it was cool to see one dope MC biggup another… Ra saw it a little differently. As I learned recently with a DJ who I look up to in the Bay, “There are rules to this sh!t” (c) B.I.G. I tell Nas – take the hit, humble yourself and learn. Spotted at Miss Info.
The homie TC interviewed the God Rakim for another installment of The Smoking Sessions. Ra drops knowledge on he feels about current hip-hop and his role. After watching this interview, his aura and stoic presence would just make me dumbfounded and silent. Sad that I missed him in San Francisco this weekend. Props to those that made it out!
HHDX had a recent interview with Rakim where he confidently tells his fans that he will be releasing his new album “The Seventh Seal” in the fall of 2008. He is holding his standard high and only putting “Rakim Classics” on this album. Wikipedia Seventh Seal if you have no idea where he is getting the title from. You actually may know more about it than you think. Full interview after the jump…
The Meaning of Dope just posted this today. I told you they had some heat. Daily bookmark now.
This for the true Rakim fans. We found that Nas goldmine for you. Now is the R’s turn. Enjoy all these non-album joints! Props to OhWord for finding it.
