Rakim.

Re: MC Battles Round 1 Rakim Vs KRS One

Know the Ledge and The juice are two of my favourite rap records. No one touches Rakim.

Young MC gives him a good run for his money on Know How!

Proper old skool rap..not the sh!te that has been playing from about 10 years ago onwards.

There's some right moaners in this thread already!

This is a forum which thinks Queen were a good/decent/real band as opposed to the soundtrack to a very gay hell.

Taste is something you have or you don't.

Re: MC Battles Round 1 Rakim Vs KRS One

Hard to say which was better, they are both great & have both released tons of great records. It's impossible to pick between the two.

Kool G Rap is the best ever IMO.

Other notable mentions:

Kool Keith
Chuck D
Big Daddy Kane
Big L
Lord Finesse
Kool Moe Dee

I was thinking of Del V Kool Keith but wasn't sure.

Slick Rick V Snoop Dogg? Redman should be in there too I reckon.

Re: MC Battles Round 1 Rakim Vs KRS One

Rakim for me, think I'll have to spend a while on youtube later checking out some of the notable mentions, recognise some names on there but not heard much of them.

is Nas not worth going on the list? always thought he was quality *hides*

Illmatic is incredible, everything he's done since has been a little bit shit. In my opinion.

No Wu mentions either yet...

Nas v Guru. Ouch.

Re: MC Battles Round 1 Rakim Vs KRS One

Maybe we should just have this as a rap appreciation thread as there's enough battles in Hip Hop.

Rakim's probably gonna win anyway ;)

Re: MC Battles Round 1 Rakim Vs KRS One

Shame. Ice T v Ice Cube would have been a doozy.
