Rakim - Oh My God
 

Thats the title of Rakims comeback album which didnt allready come out cuz of gay ass dre. But I was just wondering what u people thought of this,are u intrested and how many of u lookin forword to this and would go cop it

Rakims shit... nuff said

OOOOOOOOO u gon start some shit wit that remark lol

Rakim was ahead of his time...and if he stays ahead of his time
it should be dope..............................NUFF SAID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

no, stop using my comments, you ruin them

Hes suing Def Jam:

"The legendary duo of Eric B. & Rakim filed a lawsuit Wednesday (January 14) in New York against Russell Simmons, Lyor Cohen, Island Records, Def Jam Records, Universal Music Enterprises and others for a yet-to-be-determined amount of money, alleging they were never paid royalties from their classic 1987 LP, Paid in Full.

The lawsuit calls for the books to be opened and damages awarded based on accounting and sales of Paid in Full and the singles "Eric B. Is President" and "My Melody."

new album should be decent though...any chance an Em n' Rakim collab is on it, there were pics of them in the studio together.

Rakim is a descent rapper, but yes i'm lookin forward too this album, but don't blame dre for a late come-out. Dre makes shit hot and even if it takes him awhile, he's just makin sure that it's dope :)

^DRE ISN'T Producing anything..Thats why the album hasn't dropped, because it had to be reworked.
Im looking forward to this, and I doubt Em will be on the album. I hope he isn't.

Rakim...one of the greatest...can't wait..

Decent? dude u are retarded Rakim is tha shit. And no Dre don't make shit hot he gets other producers to make it hot then he puts his name on it. Notice now he got Hi-Tek put 10 on his beats begin to slow down and people praise him 4 "changing his sound" no Em won't be on it.

Rakim is just now filing for not receiving royalties for Paid In Full?

Good thing he was prompt about it.....

No the reason Ra left aftermath is cuz dre kept puting him in the booth wit 2nd rate producers and shit, thats dissrespectfull, how u gon put Rakim a fuckin legend in the studio wit 2nd rate producers and stall his shit for some 50 cent bullshit
And i cant fuckin belive u called Rakim a decent rapper, learn yo shit man
Ra took the whole game from a nursery rhyme sing along shit to real lyricism
and that was in the late 80's most rappers cant rhyme like that today

lol, word to that.

He's got a point you know. Even now rakim's old stuff sounds great. Does nebody know if his album's actually coming out or what? cos with him leaving aftermath, are they still gonna drop it, or have they given up so they can release a comparatively weak 50 cent album or soemthing similar (in comparison to anthing rakim's capable of making neway...)?

Id rather listen to the worst Rakim songs that he threw away then any 50 cent album.
50 cent is a clone and is doing what hundreds have done befo, Rakim is one of a kind

Yeah. 50 cent's boring as hell. so's g unit. when i heard that track stunt 101 it just reminded me of teh entire 50 cent album. all pretty much sounds the same to me. dull, 'i'm hard and rich' gangsta rap said by people who are blatently not stupid enough to sell drugs in real life then talk about on records. don't get me wrong though, i don't dislike gangsta rap, it's just dull as hell when it's all samey.

^^all 50 cent does is recycle g rap material....basically

what gangster rapper doesn't recycle g rap? g rap is the god father of gangsta!

im glad rakim is leaving aftermath, aftermath is notorious for putting out sell out rappers, good for him.

yeah. hopefully hell get set up with a great label, and some nifty beats that he works with well. then he can put out another trully stellar album.

WHAT THE FUCK!! RAKIM IS SHIT? RAKIM IS DECENT??? YOU GUYS ARE SO FUCKIN GAY!!!!!!!!!!

listen to "Mystery (Who Is God?) " and tell me he is shit, or his is decent. i hate you new jacks who try to talk shit about artist that been dope since before you knew what hip hop was.

rakim changed hip hop and he is still out rapping the wack ass MCs out right now. he out rapped jay-z on his own track. he out rhymed mobb deep. he was pretty even with canibus. he out rapped nas. rakim is still dope after almost 20 years of being in the game

get the fuck out of here with that "he's shit/ he's decent"....

WHAT THE FUCK! respect rakim you homos!

If you can see if you can solve the mystery
The answer revolves around your history
So carefully, I drop this degree
Scientifically, and realistically (Who is God?)

Repeat Chorus

In eternal blackness, in the midst of the darkest night
Proteins and minerals, exist within specks of light
Solids liquids and gases, and sparks of light within
infinite lengths and widths and depths and heights
No beginning or ending, the seven dimensions
Enough space for more than a million words and inventions
To travel through time within enough room to be the womb
of the most high's great mind which he will soon make shine
With intelligent elements in sight that he will gather
In the realms of relativity electricity struck matter
Energies explode he below to keep releasin
Atoms by the millions, til the numbers increasin
Til it was burnin he kept returnin itself to the source
The hotter his thoughts it gave the center more force
He gave birth to the sun which would follow his laws
All caused by his mental intercourse, who is God?

Chorus

He began to explain his craft, the master in the attic
He dealt with measurements his language, was mathematics
His theoretical wisdom of the numerical system
The complete number nine which means born or existed
He gave birth to all planets, inorganic, and organic
So you wouldn't take it for granted
They rotated they own distance around the sun
And fully submit to the existance of one
And each one was promised everlasting perfection
If each one keeps spinnin in the same direction
To the East, and each speak the motion of peace
and harmony, and each show devotion to teach
The universe is to come, the whole world must go according
Know your galaxies and mirages stars start fallin
So stay in your orbit maintain safe and sound
Like the planets each cipher remains perfectly round

Chorus

From unconciousness, to conciousness
By knowledging his wisdom his response is this
A understanding, which is the best part
He picked the third planet where new forms of life would start
He pursued show and prove every move in order
Back to the source he let off his resources in the water
Climb his climax, where the climate is at, high degrees
See he start to breathe deep in the darkest seas
And the plan is, to lay in the clays to form land
And expand, usin the same clays to born man
In his own image our origin begins in the East
Culture rise to breed, with the powers of peace
Deal in equality nature's policy is to be God
Build or destroy positively born life like Allah
And each one was given everlasting perfection
If each one keep living in the same direction
And life was life, and love was love
We went according by the laws of the world above
They showed us physically, we could reach infinity
But mentally, through the century we lost our identity
Life start and ending, we got trife and started sinning
Lost touch with the beginning now ciphers stop spinnin
And what was once easy became confused and hard
Which brings us back, to the mystic question, who is God?
Sixty-six trillion years since his face was shown
When the seventh angel appears, the mystery will be known
Check Revelations and Genesis, St. Luke and John
It even tells us we are Gods in the Holy Qu'ran
Wisdom Strength and Beauty, one of the meanings of God
G.O.D. you and me ?Gomars O Dubar?
Knowledge Wisdom Understanding Sun Moon and Star
Man Woman and Child, and so is Allah

Chorus

Bear witness to Allah, gave birth to all
For Allah was all, and therefore, life itself
And the universe gave birth to man
The universe was man, and man was the universe
And the universe was always existed
And existance was life
And life is Allah
And Allah had no beginning because he is, what always was
Rakim Allah, peace
Now who is God?

Word^

there you go B-Kast.... Myk owns you

to those who said he is ok..
those are the kids that b banging their heads to baby bash and shit ..
talking some homo momo shit.

They dont call him the GOD for nothing

ya no fuckin kidding, these new baby muhfuckas need to learn real hip hop
respect the architect

Rakim and Common embody what hip-hop's essence is

Finally, Flu posted in here...We needed someone to shut up the new jacks.

Is it Rakim
or Rakim Allah?

rakim's great. nebody that says otherwise needs to have their head nailed to the floor.

his MC name is Rakim but sometimes he sais the full thing Rakim Allah, since Allah means God and hes the God MC

and you are stupid...
is it rakim or rakim allah

how is it rakim, but sometimes he says the FULL name rakim allah..

LEARN to read and comprehend english

U dont get it huh... same as fuckin Nas but sometimes he adds on Nas Escobar its just sometimes he uses it..........his MC name is Rakim

wrong example

your suppose to mention
Common...thats a valid argument

newbies!!!

wtf lol ure retarted I dont like Common maybe thats why I didnt mention him fool...
but ya that would work too common....common sense

And ure the one askin what Rakims name is!!!!!! lol what the fuck kinda hip-hop head are u.........tsk tsk dumbasses

are you tring to say nas escobar? lol

/\if you dont like common you should die...and go start listening to
baby bash

OMG I dont disslike Common I jus happen to like Nas more

Rakim is God...and you complaining non-stop bout him and his legacy is childish...Rakim has different "alias", such as Rakim Allah, the R, Ra, Mic God....who cares, hes the greatest ever. He was lyricaly before rap was associated with that word....and "Mystery(Who is God?)" is an ill song, good pick....Ne ways, Rakims is more deserving of than Dre and deserves top notch attention...hes is, of course, an "MC Murdera".....lol.
