True hiphop is created by people that wanna become legends and rakim became one when he grabbed the microphone decades ago with his first album paid in full with Eric b they both created more legendary albums together they both were their separate ways but rakim still creating and doing live shows the new album dropping soon but first single and video already out called a different kind and it's heating up all platforms especially radio play in multiple states see hiphop doesn't have age limit 

15 years rakim never changed his style to impress the new generation he rather keep it 💯 with the Rea Street fans of hiphop that respects the culture that spit bar's and knowledge instead of the bullshit others are talking about the album got real spitters of hiphop not mumble mouth idiots that spitting fake shit they never been through his album definitely going to be platinum soon and DJs should be playing it at every club i know i would've been if i was a Dj or been owner of the club i would've had him do live shows of original joints and new joints have a roster of nothing but legends coming through

rakim the Michael Jordan of hiphop been putting it down since the 80s he put out multiple albums especially paid in full still on top today now his New joint not even out yet and the video and single is heating up the streets especially for the summer i know people are going to be banging it at barbecues and beach parties or just on the block by themselves he's got the streaming services locked down but also The album on vinyl tape and cd see that's giving real hip-hop fans like myself to bump it in cd.players tape decks especially for the djs to be able to remix it straight off the vinyl
