Rakim Interview

A few words from Rakim,"New York is responsible for bringing that raw, that real gritty Hip-Hop, because we originated it.I'm feeling good and optimistic and I'm hoping people understand that power that Hip-Hop got. I hope everybody understands the time we in right now, and I hope everybody wanna make some good music and keep Hip-Hop alive."
Since Rakim inspired all the rappers that inspired me, I have a lot of respect for him.So shout out to Rakim and listen to him and Eric B.'s classic "Paid in Full".For all you who haven't heard it in a minute, put the album on and for all you musically challenged. Study it.
