I wouldn’t really count that

Still 89

And rakim was quickly dated

Like

Listen to

One for all and dont sweat the technique back to back

I’ll be honest with you, most of don’t sweat the technique, follow the leader, let the rhythm hit em Feel like filler and don’t sound that different sonically, although there are a few gems among the rough

Paid in full was pretty great for me all around

And both of rakims post Eric B solo albums are fuckin awesome though

Again I appreciate rakims contribution to the culture

I just don't care for his music

But have you actually listened to The 18th letter and the master though

H

That was my Og question

Is that his first solo album?

The 18th letter is

Oh yeah brand Nubian is legit

Yeah I listened to a couple songs off of 18th letter and went back to listening to big daddy kane

If you think either of those are boring then I guess we just have to agree to disagree

I mean hes rapping well

But i ain't feel hooked by him

@ACentralScrutinizer do you like DJ Spanish fly?

Of course

Memphis is probably my favorite scene

DJ Spanish fly is so fucking ahead his time

How many old heads do you trigger daily by saying you don’t like Rakim Lol

Like he made cement shoes in 1991

Alot

Actually

I trigger more by saying I don't like illmatic

I'll prolly get more for not liking gang starr

Gang starr is interesting

That is pretty whack honestly man every track on illmatic is solid. Like what do you mean by too straightforward

Idk how to explain like

Like it's just alotta flowing with no cadance that hooks ne

Me

Also

I love DJ premier and guru
