Quite a lot of the biggest rappers say Rakim is the best. Snoop definitely does.

Ringiho · 20 Sep 2011 at 09:25

Rakim is awesome! I'd have to agree with Snoop

Metalface Mark · 20 Sep 2011 at 12:42

I dunno if Rakim is the best, he was certainly the first with the modern style and that influences peoples decisions, its hard to quantify what makes someone the best though, he has an awesome and very distinctive tone to his voice.

Mahogany is still probably my all time favourite rap tune.

Paid in Full by Erik B and Rakim is a great album.

Yeah, a true classic (a word bandied about too much!)

Agree with this! Deciding on the best would be rather hard.

Drop the squeaky Cher **** in the background and that's a good track.

Dava said:

Don't mind that at all, good track. I looked up some of their other stuff too and it's OK, thx.

wolvers · 20 Sep 2011 at 20:27

Thanks bud, I'll check it out.

Council Estate of the Mind is one of the UK, nay hip hop's finest albums, that Skinnyman hasnt released another is criminal.

Used to have Braintax's first few releases on vinyl from the early 90's, well ahead of their time back then.

And some RTKAL, he's awesome. Shame Charlie Sloth is so irritating.

Been a bit quiet in here for a while. Another great battle from Don't Flop and some Redman:

They did that in the UK 3 weeks ago too.

Im still deaf from their Nation of Millions tour a couple of years ago.

Anyone else get Dessa 'Castor The Twin' yet? Received mine this morning together with Spiral Bound. Her voice is amazing on this CD.
