This week I'm showin' love to the God, Rakim Allah. With his new album "The Seventh Seal" dropping this Tuesday, Rakim truly is a living legend. He's been in the game since 1986 and is an elder 41 years old. I feel as though a lot of people really don't recognize that he was the first MC in the '80s to actually rhyme quickly with tons of inner rhyme patterns and an interwoven flow style. He made rappers grow up from their old school, Dr. Suess primitive rhyme structures to a much more mature complex rhyme style. He truly was the game's first MC, a master of rhyme who controlled the crowd with two turntables and a mic.
Peep his music video for the track "Guess Who's Back" off of his album "The 18th Letter."
