Eric B. & Rakim - Move The Crowd Lyrics
[Verse one:]
Standing by the speaker, suddenly I had this
Fever, was it me or either summer madness
Cuz I just can't stand around
My mind starts to activate, rhymes collaborate
Cuz When i heard the beat, I just had to make
Something from the top of my head
So I fell into the groove of the wax and I said
How could I move the crowd
First of all, ain't no mistakes allowed
Here's the instruction, put it together
It simple ain't it but quite clever
Some of you been trying to write rhymes for years
But weak ideas irritate my ears
Cuz if not and you got more, I'll wait
But don't make me wait too long coz I'm a move on
The dancefloor when they put something smooth on
So turn up the bass, it's better when it's loud
Cuz I like to move the crowd
Move the crowd...
[Verse two:]
Imagine me wit the heat that's made by solar,
It gets stronger everytime I hold a
Microphone, check the tone to get started
The line for the microphone is departed
So leave it up to me, my DJ is mixing
Everyone is moving or eager to listen
Your hands in the air, your mouth, shut!
Cuz I'm on the mic and Eric B is on the cut
For those that know me, indeed I like to flow
Especially when the music's going slow
It gives me a chance to let everybody know
It's time to bust out the Rakim show
I'm the intelligent wise on the mic I will rise
Right in front of your eyes cuz I am a surprise
So I'ma let my knowledge be born to a perfection
All praise due to Allah and that's a blessing
Wit knowledge of self, there's nothing I can't solve
At 360 degrees, I revolve
This is actual fact, it's not an act, it's been proven,
Indeed and I proceed to make the crowd keep moving
Move the crowd...

Golden Era of Rap. The Legends Eric B and Rakim.
2019 and still lovin it, who else

"All Praises due to Allah and that's a BLESSING"
Do me a favor Im a big fan of rakim an I know I'm not crazy but listen to fresh prince summer time an then listen to this, sound the same to me
That Nike tracksuit is hard I would love to get my hands on one of those now
You cant tell me this dont sound like the theme music to The fresh Prince of bel air. And Rakim said Summer Madness in this song, which is a Will Smith song, hhhuuummm. Makes you wonder. People did say Rakim wrote Summer Madness.
The lyrics did resemble Rakim's style. It ended up being the Fresh Princes biggest hit!
Rakim ALLAH!
Not talking about killing any one or calling women whores, real Rap!!!
Classic...😎
His bars are EVERLASTING
Does this sound corny to anybody or is it just me
Its just you.
"With knowledge of self, there's nothing I can't solve, At 360 degrees I revolve
This is actual fact, it's not an act, it's been proven
Indeed and I proceed to make the crowd keep moving." Rakim ain't no joke. 🎤💯🔥✌

Godly ☀️
Its 2019 and still to this day I will never forget and neither will my friends, That I had the dj play this song 5 times at a friend birthday party when this came out!! The lyrics are on point...!! 🔥 Know this song by heart.
CSI actor dude @1:31... Gary Dourdan.
Yo I peeped that too 😂😂😂
*Rakim incorporates The Lessons in music effortlessly.*
We had some alphasonik amps, Kenwood subs & Kenwood deck when this shit came out, don't know how many times we burned'em up of this whole cd this song in particular, took'em back to American of Madison till they told us we were abusing the warranty.Fuck that Rah "Turn up the bass, it's better when it's loud"!
That boy said he "fell into the groove of the wax"
Knowledge open your eyes and mind
Real fucking hip hop. Lyricism, skill, talent, masculinity/militant hip hop. No dudes wearing skinny jeans, purses, & dresses & dancing like a sissy with no lyrical skill or substance.
When rap was real.
Who's still listening in 2019??
