Re: MC Battles Round 1 Rakim Vs KRS One

Rakim. There's a reason he's known as Rakim Allah.

To this day he's not been matched. KRS is one of the best of all time but Rakim is untouchable.

Rakim is the greatest MC of all time.

Take the opening verse to Follow The Leader as an example, he says more and he says it better than most rappers manage in a lifetime.

Follow me into a solo
Get in the flow - and you can picture like a photo
Music mixed mellow maintains to make
Melodies for MC's motivates the breaks
I'm everlastin, I can go on for days and days
With rhyme displays that engrave deep as X-rays
I can take a phrase that's rarely heard, FLIP IT
Now it's a daily word
I can get iller than 'Nam, a killin bomb
But no alarm - Rakim will remain calm
Self-esteem make me super superb and supreme
But for a microphone still I fiend
This was a tape I wasn't supposed to break
I was supposed to wait, but let's motivate
I want to see who can keep followin and swallowin
Takin the making, bitin it and borrowin
Brothers tried and others died to get the formula
But I'ma let ya sweat - you still ain't warm, you a
Step away from frozen, stiff as if ya posin
Dig into my brain as the rhyme gets chosen
So follow me and were ya thinkin' you were first?
Let's travel at magnificent speeds around the Universe
What could ya say as the Earth gets further and further away
Planets are small as balls of clay
Astray into the Milky Way - world's outasight
Far as the eye can see - not even a satellite
Now stop and turn around and look
As ya stare in the darkness, ya knowledge is took!
So keep starin soon ya suddenly see a star
You better follow it cause it's the R
This is a lesson if ya guessin and if ya borrowin
Hurry hurry step right up and keep followin
The Leader

has a high opinion of himself, humble is a word rarely used in his houehold i bet

my lad was trying to explain how good the battle of the rappers is when watching 8 mile(?) seemed to me the winner is who can inult each other by speaking the quickest

When you were typing that did you realise that you had in fact become your Dad

All rappers are boastful, it's an inherent part of the culture.

8 Mile/Eminem is shit. You can't judge an entire culture on one whining little ponce with bleached hair.

BT knows, Rakim has to win best MC just as The Beatles have to be best band and Hendrix best guitarist. That's just how it is.

Both for me in the top 3 rappers ever. (include LL in this list)

But for me Rakim was the better of the 2 (just)

Rakim is arguably the best, definitely in my top three. I'm trying to narrow it down to 16 rounds.

There's some right moaners in this thread already!
