Rakim - Master (CD)

so many fools haven't bought this one..

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!!!

The Master

Pros: Very lyrical and great beats

Cons: none

Real great album for those interested in the lyrical, East-Coast flow or for those who simply like to be stimulated by smooth flowing raps.

Way Better Than '18th Letter' !

This album surprised me a lot. Rakim got some slick beats from Clark Kent. If your a fan of Nas or Rakim, this album is for you. The best songs are "When I B On The Mic", "Waiting For The World To End" and "Flow Forever". Cop this album!

U MISSING OUT

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jul 4, 2001

ANY CAT OUT THERE THAT ISN'T FEELING THIS ALBUM IS NOT A REAL HIP-HOP HEAD. YOU GUYS ARE NOT REALLY INTO LYRICS. THIS GUY IS ONE OF THE GREATEST MCS OF ALL TIME. (KRSONE, KOOL G. RAP)NO ONE PUTS WORDS AND PHASES TOGETHER LIKE RAKIM. THE GREATEST BATT...LE OF ALL TIME WOULD BE TO HAVE RAKIM, KRSONE, KOOL G. RAP, KANE,PUN, BIG L, AND BIGGIE ALL BATTLE. MY TWO FINALIST WOULD BE KRSONE AND RAKIM WITH KRSONE BEING THE WINNER (ONLY BECAUSE HE HAS TOO MANY STYLES). LOVE IS LOVE AND THIS GUY (RAKIM) IS SLEPT BY MAINSTREAM. U CATS ARE MISSING OUT.

this is incredible stuff. Rakim is the rap warrior that spits out rymes like bullets that crack yo skull without penetrating yo skin.

A Lackluster!

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Feb 8, 2000

This album is a total lackluster! It is quite unbelievable to see the greatest MC of all time showing an album without inspirations. The beats are horrible, with the exception of tracks produced by DJ Premier, and the lyrics were uninspired. This al...bum have made me wondering: "WHERE IS ERIC B?" Read more Less

The R

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Dec 26, 1999

Again, The R has proven regardless who writes, produces or creates music for him...he can put lyrics to any track. I'm amazed at his gift, he by far is the best lyricist that walks among humans.
