Third entry is from the God of Rap himself, The embodiment of an emcee, lyricism, delivery, breath control, commanding voice, and a mythical, less is more quality.
Rakim gives us a boast heavy anthem here and within his first few bars he is schooling like none before,
“Music mix mellow maintains to make Melodies for emcees, motivates the breaks. I’m everlast, and I can go on for days and days With rhyme displays that engrave deep as x-rays I can take a phrase that’s rarely heard, flip it, now its a daily word.”
This song is on stratospheric levels, lyrics in quickfire intensity yet not rushed, dolbyesque sweeps from Bob James’ Nautilus, horn stabs from Baby Huey and that damn earworm of a bass sample.
“Until then keep eating and swallowing, hurry hurry step right up and keep following the Leader”
