Shit goes hard...

If he's in it for the love of hip-hop then that's what's up.

But if he's in it for the money... unfortunately... with todays fuck up marketing/promoting and let alone stan ass fans...

His shit wont sell. I'm definitely going 2 support him though.

I STILL have the 18th Letter!

Damn i wuz nothin but a little nigga myself when he came out. I wish i could've been more older back then to actually hearing his rhymes when he first came out. But this probably the best out of the three that I really liked so far.

Rakim converted my perspective on life when he came out. The God iiissss hip hop, hip hop is on life support. It seems like Rah tightned up his flow with these last few joints. I'll comp it!
