Don't Sweat the Technique



Here is an example of some Rakim bangin lyrics >>>>The 18th Letter, a smooth soulful album that earned praise for Rakim's imaginative and intelligent rhyming on tracks such as 'The 18th Letter' ('Nobody's been this long-awaited since Jesus/I heard the word on the street is/I'm still one of the deepest on the mike since Adidas') and 'The Mystery (Who Is God).

I still rock the hitz these 2 had.And to this day "Microphone Fiend" is still FIRE !!!! If you don't believe me check out some of there hitz/videos.
