i was disappointed when i first heard the album, the songs didn't seem to catch my ear. also his style of rapping is hard to get used to. he is constantly rhyming every other word. i've gotten more used to it now and it's an ok album. if you can get this cheap it's worth listening to

an outstanding performance by the god mc rakim. rakim delivers a blistering performance of many different stlyles of mc,ing, yet again increasing the bar for other mc,ees to reach. all the tracks are non identical to each other or even anywhere similar to any previous releases by eric b and rakim. this album will fall into the classic catergory for the hip hop heads but unfortunately did not reach a familiar status in the mainstrem. hiphopers will argue that rakim being just truly hiphop is one of the factors in which the hiphop world gives him the respect as a legend mc. the lyrical content in this album goes way beyond the usual tariff of todays emcees, rakim delivers a style that is unmatched which can keep a thug on the street all the way to a university professor tuned into the high filled intellectual skillfull rhymes. this album is a definate must have it is an investment for all the emcees to polish there rhyming ability. as well as the rakim fan this album will be gold for the listener.Read full review
