, December 21, 1999Reviewer: Nik M - See all Nik M's reviews1 of 1 Yahoo! Users found this Master review helpful Rakim demonstrates how easily he can fit in to modern rap styles with tracks dj'd by Rahzel and Premo...he makes it look easy...i just wanna see him take rap to even higher levels now that he's starting to catch the late nineties groove of hip hop...anyone who wants to challenge the fact that the R is the greatest hip hop lyricist/vocalist ever...write a review cause i'm sick of tired-asses sayin' it's someone like jay-z or dmx...not a chance!!!

Pro Reviews: Master
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews When you've been named the best rapper ever in countless readers' and critics' polls, it must be easy to get a bit complacent. And as a veteran who's been on the mic since 1985 (yes, there are several rappers who weren't even on the earth back then), it also must be easy to make a few concessions to all the rappers and delivery styles that have come since Kangols were all the rage -- the first time, that is. Thankfully, Rakim's second solo album shows hip-hop's best rapper outdoing himself yet again, and not conceding a whit to '90s rap. Rakim has always been known for his laid-back flow and, accordingly, he never pushes himself here; his flow is smooth as syrup, and will undoubtedly make hip-hop fans realize just what rhythm is after merely a few tracks. He plays with internal rhymes (one of his trademarks) and constructs the most dense lyrics heard in hip-hop for years. The Master also benefits from its stellar cast of producers -- Clark Kent, DJ Premier, Ron "Amen-Ra" Lawrence, the 45 King, and even Rakim himself. The productions are tough and catchy (no strings here, thankfully), but they never outshine the rhymes. Rakim praises himself on quite a few tracks ("Flow Forever," "When I B on the Mic," "I Know," "It's the R"), but after a listen or two, listeners will likely agree with every boast he makes. After one album (The 18th Letter) to get back into things, Rakim is arguably doing the best work of his career. - John Bush, All Music Guide |
