I sure would like to know the idiots that gave this a thumbs down.

I`m still pissed that they [redacted} the N-Word in this song.
It`s like leaving out an exclamation mark in a sentence.

Everybody are talking about lyrics
Me *Fapping at the girl in military dress"

nofap bro

Yes your internationally known legend, from 20 year old Afghanistan

I grew up with this man who taught me my love for poetry. I'm writer, published author & speaker now and with the prophet still speaking in me and through me as the 808 bumps deep in my heart as I sleep, as I rise, as I ride and as I speak, when I tell my story of never givin' up always pushin' forward, it runs deep, to the youth and young adults, therefore I end with respect to the R by sayin'... "There It Is!!" 💪😁😎 1:59

Eaeeeeee porra cade o brazil apreciando essa obra?

Rakim says I 'm Internacional know.
Respect from Argentina 🇦🇷

Respect from Moçambique

The people that dislike this are literally... too many swear words... just GTFO because you will never understand. Please.

Accidentally heard a drake and 2 chainz track and had to come back here to cleanse my soul from that horrific drake nonsense.

2020 is on fire 🔥🔥🔥

This is well over 20 years old dude lol

@turk turklington I know but I mean is on fire after long time ago

@Nehemías Carranza - Its been alright. I'm British and there's been about 8 beefs between some big artists so there's been some good clash tracks released lol.

Who made this beat

I love this.

2020 ??????????

Among others, there are MOP, Guru, Onyx and Premier in the clip. ;) Just a pity its censored.

I love when rappers sample themselves for some reason

I came here because an interview in billboard indonesia youtube channel with morgue vanguard

Du sagst Kollegah rappt wie Rakim?

Top 5 of all time.

He is internationally known. This is why he is the G>O>A>T and don't think it is just his popularity.

Nothin better to lift my spirits and put a smile on my face than some real hip-hop.

Der rappt wie Kollegah.

Primo nailed it

2020, from India. Rakim, Nas,Tupac, Biggie, 50, Kanye, Eminem, Busta, Wu Tang and the many others during those times were the golden generation of rap. Their songs were truly Rhythm And Poetry. These modern rappers, I dont know their names, are so predictable and sound similar. I never really listen to newly released music.

Damn. his flow is sick... im new in listening to hiphop music. My fave genres are rock,metalcore etc.
Right now. I'm into rap music. Quite interested to those rap legends that spits bars and lyrical geniuses.

2020 and banging !

I was looking for the song Rakim from "Dead can dance" and i found this shit.
Why Youtube? Why?!

Who here in 2020?

This right here will live forever.

2020 and idgaf

Who is Here 2020 🔥📌

2020

Still

the scratches are so tasty man jeez the producer has that magic touch!

LYRIC


[DJ Premier scratches hook]

(Hardcore...real ill niggas)
(I'm internationally known)
(When I be on the mic)

(Hardcore...real ill niggas)
(I'm internationally known, yo)

(Hardcore...real ill niggas)
(I'm internationally known)
(When I be on the mic)

(Hardcore...real ill niggas)
(So all hail the honorable)

It's to my real ill niggas, heavyweight hitters
Dough getters, fifty ways to make figures
My niggas, that come on the spot to feel sisters
Like they hear real spitters and kids on the zigga-ziggas
When it's ugly, then the club is lovely
Thugs be sipping Henessey and bubbly
To my comrades that keep it flaming hot
On dangerous blocks, claiming spots
Where the goal is to be one of the top-ranked soldiers
Forty-five holders, one of the high rollers
Get respect in the hood, credit is good
Knock it down lumberjack style, baby, extra wood
Rock it all night long, the bang-a-thon baby
Keep hanging on, we like it with the lights on
Don't have to blow twenty thou' to get to know honey's style
Show her the town, steal her heart, no money down

[Hook]

How about some hardcore, yeah we like it raw for sure
Broads on the floor, wall to wall
There's more at the door, players ball to score
'Cause this right here is for all of y'all
Rakim and Primo, yo I got what you need bro
You go see a show, smoke an L, mean yo
And deejays play hits with hard bass kicks
And then they display tricks like The Matrix
Make the record fly undetected by the naked eye
So just feel the vibe 'cause your ears never lie
Nowadays deejays bags of tricks, graphic
On some behind the back shit, catch it and scratch it
Classic, this kid got his craft mastered
Hands is mad quick like he mix with magic
Spin it back and forth and grab it, and know just where it is...
There it is

[Hook]

To my elite peeps with the murderous mystiques
I hit the streets with beats and they critique for weeks
They be like "How that kid Ra reach the peak?"
Pull out the heat and use my technique to speak
It's dangerous, sit calm and explain to kids
What part of the game this is and foreign languages
They hold Ra's events in different continents
Put my lyrical contents in monuments
In ghetto garments, I rock a towel like a pharaoh
Mind travel, design style like apparel
My fashions last long as a lifetime
Cause I can see the future when the god write rhymes
They're mad cause I managed to reign so long
Like their chance to make money done came and gone
This is strictly for my listeners on the corners at night
And the sisters that be keeping this right, when I be on the mic

[Hook]

Where my 2020 squad at?!

where my 2020 crew at!?

Maaaaaaaan!!!! I remember playing this jam all thru high school! Thanks rakim for bumpin it on my cd player for all them years! Ha! Still playing it!!!

Klingt wie Kollegah

And 2020

@Albert Pringle yeahh bro :v

"And then they display tricks like the matrix" still one of the best lines ever to this day

Mf DOOM had a better line with the matrix, I don’t know the exact quote but it goes something like “Last wish: I wish I had two more wishes
And I wish they fixed the door to the matrix, there's mad glitches
Spit so many verses sometimes my jaw twitches
One thing this party could use is more... booze
Put yourself in your own shoes

Read your word

iAM" li 5% shit" you" know" music sick" G"

You lie too much to your teeth

Rakim, come to Australia already. In 2019 / 2020 we need REAL HIP HOP more than ever. Peace !
