Rakim Allah (who I'll refer to in a number of ways throughout this review) will always be known as one of the best to ever do it. His legacy can withstand even the most deadly blows to an artist, from album delays, of which he has suffered many, to a less-than-dynamic stage presence. Although he's never done it, the God MC could even make an ass of himself in a slew of interviews. And, depending on what he says, it wouldn't really matter. His impact on hip-hop is basically unprecedented...

A new Rakim album should be a big deal-- or at least a bigger deal than this. Talking about the man's career, it's hard not to lapse into hyperbole, to talk like he invented rap, because in some ways he kind of did. The things that make rap what it is in 2009 existed in various forms back in 1986, when Rakim's career launched, but Rakim isolated, elevated, streamlined, and developed them...

One thing is instantly clear about Rakim's new album: this is theWORST cover art he's ever had in his career. Matter of fact, theartwork in the liner notes is equally as cornball and confusing.By comparison, the Dapper Dan outfits he and Eric B. sported onthe cover of "Follow the Leader" look positively BRILLIANT. Asfor the music, that's another story.....

It's been a long decade since Rakim's last album, a period in which the New York native's hometown lost its role as hip-hop's locus to the South, the Midwest and the decentralizing tendencies of the Internet. It's been an even lengthier 23 years since his debut 12" single with Eric B. revolutionized rap with its complex rhyming patterns, authoritative baritone, funky break-beats and indomitable cool...

Rakim's "Live, Lost & Found: The Archive" arrived on store shelves this week without the fanfare and acclaim one would expect for one of hip-hop's most beloved icons. What little hype did exist came courtesy of a press release from Koch Records last week. When doing research for this review to provide background on how it came to be almost every search engine result was the same PR blurb or a carefully chosen excerpt from it. Hip-Hop heads who grew up in the era where every new Eric B...

A hugely influential hip hop figure, not for nothing is Rakim cordially known as The God MC, widely acknowledged as the rapper's rapper. That love is largely afforded on the basis of a quality back catalogue, particularly defining the late 1980s/early 1990s as half of duo Eric B & Rakim...

It's appropriate for the man most consider the best rapper ever to open his first album in a decade with "How to Emcee." And it's no surprise that Rakim Allah proceeds to hold a clinic on lyricism throughout The Seventh Seal. "Trace this style to the roots of Genesis / The world wonder / I'm still standing like pyramids," he boasts on "Holy Are U...
