In this article, we will introduce 10 of the best singers of this famous American rapper, Rakim. Without wasting time, let’s go :

10. Move The Crowd

Adding an intellectual veneer to it all, Rakim took cocky rhymes to a whole new level – no one could say “I’m the best” the way Rakim did, sweeping away all competition effortlessly and always without the use of profanity.

9. In The Ghetto

Produced by Big Professor, Rakim’s vivid visuals paint an atmospheric picture of his life on the streets of New York. Certainly one of the deepest paths of Rakim.

8. Eric B. Is President

This is another hip hop song produced by Marley Marl. The opening bars are one of the best sellers in hip-hop and the production is incredibly creative and diverse.

7. Lyrics Of Fury

A powerful display of lyrical mastery. Intricate rhyme schemes, internal rhyming, spitfire delivery, breath control – all top notch here. The dark and chaotic background of this track only enhances Rakim’s power on the mic. “The performance was never performed on the microphone again”

6. Know The Ledge

Taken from the soundtrack to the film ‘Juice’ and from their fourth and latest album Don’t Sweat The Technique, the song tells the story of a young thug trying to make it on the streets. Hard Beats and Lyrics – a complete soundtrack for the movie starring a young Tupac Shakur.

5. Let The Rhythm Hit Em

On their underrated third album Let The Rhythm Hit Em Eric B & Rakim comes with a denser and darker sound than their previous two albums, aided by production from Large Professor and the late Paul C. This track is a perfect example of Eric B’s impressive beats (or Paul C) is complemented by Rakim’s flawless flow and delivery – no one has ever done it better.

4. I Ain’t No Joke

Boom! This is what the opening song should sound like. Rakim immediately sets the tone for the rest of the album (and his career) with this brilliant track. It’s really not a joke

3. Follow The Leader

Five minutes of lyrical perfection. Along with Lyrics of Fury, it’s perhaps one of the best examples of how advanced Rakim is with his lyrics. Listen to it and then listen to it again and let it sink in. Rakim takes the listener on a metaphorical journey to outer space and then to the listener’s mind. A lyrical masterpiece.

2.  My Melody

Another Marley Marley produced classic, Rakim sprinkles elite bars over a hypnotic, slow, hard beat. The rhyming and wordplay here is absolutely amazing and classic, if only for the “7 emcees” bars that are some of the most iconic hip-hop bars ever.

1. Microphone Fiend

Oddly enough, the song’s single release in 1988 wasn’t a huge success, but since then the song has become not only an Eric B & Rakim seminal song, but also one of hip-hop’s biggest hits. At least, that’s what the HHGA says. what is yours
