Rakim new album Seventh Seal

Rakim plans to release "Seventh Seal" later this year via his new independent label Ra Records. He teased that a single could be out within two months but for now he’s still scouting for guest artists. "At this point in my career I wanted to reach out and show a lot of artists love that have been giving me love." He hasn’t released an album since 1999’s "The Master".

I know the industry can jerk artists around.. but dag..I"m just glad it’s finally coming out. Heard some snippets.. at least from the stuff I’ve heard it SHOULD be worth the wait.

From the shores of Blighty, where the gas is pricey, baby-Gz up-tight, conflicts more than likely. regardless i live by the, wisdom of hip hop, real-heads know beats, that bang make your head bop. Trouble is its icy, so kids get a grip, witness this divide, we all need to FIX. Stick it to the many cats who claim that they can rap, yet style, grace, flow - attributes they lack ! not to mention beats, weaker than my leaks, that no amount of tweaks could deodourise the reek....

Ahem, my most sincere apologies !!! All i intended to say was, love to Rakim from my contrasted world where Hip Hop pulses beneath the surface, in wait for its day to erupt throughout the world ! Hip Hop is far from dying, Its been reborn in a thousand different forms. Embrace it !!

I’m embarrased to be a fan of hip hop music and part of its culture. DO ANY OF YOU FUC#S HAVE AN EDUCATION PASSED THE FIFTH GRADE ? Illiterate clowns, learn how to spell and write, or click a fuc#ing spell check button. AV ? perhaps you mean I’ve. It’s called a contraction. It allows you to combine words to make one smaller word

Rakim Lace up their Brains like a Brain stem, from new york to bedlem... let the god mc swoop down and chin check ?€™em...

Rakim new album Seventh Seal, by Mr.Waters [2009-09-08 20:13:05]

We cant be stopped so Rakim if you’re reading this.....come find your boy in a little city called Monroe Louisiana and I promise that you will not be disappointed this is the one they call Mr. Waters a.k.a. Steady Rockwell. peace...

its about time. hip hop needs some true rhythm hittin em

Rakim new album Seventh Seal, by MULA [2009-04-14 01:39:58]

RA is looking for guests for his album seems crazy to me. He is the Microphone Soloist, thats what I luv about RA. Its alot of talented mc out there, but its only a few that could flow on RA’s level. My biggest fear is to hear a weak lyrical minded but popular mc on a track with RA. Either RA dummy downs his lyrical content or HE blows the other mc away and in that case why have them on in the first place. NAS said it best NO GEUST APPEARENCES. But if RA insist on one it should be KANE.

Finally the wait is soon to be over, time for a masterpiece to be released.

Also the time has come to bring Hip-Hop back to a purpose besides material profit.

rakim is the best lyrical emcee of all times he is the El Hajj Malik Shabazz of hip hop that is also what this world is missing as a people we need a new malcolm X. Nas put it best when he said rakim made christians convert to islamic ways

Real hiphop

> Rakim new album Seventh Seal, by Insane Macbeth [2006-07-24 10:06:12]

RAKIM is the GOD EMCEE, who influenced everyone with a NEW YORK state of mind ; including KOOL G. RAP, NAS, A-Z, RZA, GZA, METHOD MAN, RAEKWON, MOBB DEEP, BIGGIE SMALLS, JAY-Z, CANIBUS, SAIGON, PAPOOSE. He is the litmus test, the standard to guage all others emcees........even today !!!

The 18th Letter was the first to use cadence, prose, alliteration, nuance, stanza and abstract concepts in syntax structure & emcee-ing. For me, "MIC-TO-MOUTH RESUSCITATION/ RHYTHM WITH RADIATION/ NOVOCAINE EASIN’ PAIN/ IT MIGHT SAVE ’EM !", remains the best line in the history of emceeing (sh-t, that was written in 1988 !).

I was fortunate enough to speak to Rakim in 2001, due to the fact that I knew his management, and for me......someone coming from BRIXTON, south LONDON, UK......it was an honour to converse with him !

BLESS TO THE GOD EMCEE (even JIGGAMAN wanted emcee immortality, when he wrote, "GOD EMCEE/ ME, JAY-HOVA !" on "TAKEOVER").

BLESS, from ’THE RONALDINHO OF BEATS !!!’.

THIS IS RAKIM ?S LYRICS FROM ?THE PUNISHER ? BROKEN DOWN TO A LEVEL TO SHOW YOU HE ?S THE BEST PERIOD THEN YOU TELL ME WHO ?S THE BEST MC PERIOD ?HE WAY BEYOND THERE MENTAL OR SPIRITUAL THINKING PERIOD ?

THE MIND WILL PUNISH THEM BECAUSE THEY DONT UNDERSTAND IT ?..

IF YOU CURSE ME IT AIN ?T NO MERCY ?

GIVE THEM A AUTOPSY ?..

THEY KILLED BY A VERSE OF ME ?.

I TOOK THE KID AND CUT OFF THERE EYELIDS ?..(NOT MEANING CUTTING THEM OFF PHYSICALLY BUT SPIRITUALLY).. (IF I CUT OFF YOUR EYELIDS YOU CAN ?T CLOSE YOUR EYES WITHOUT EYE LIDS, SO YOU CAN SEE AT ALL TIMES WHAT COMING AT YOU IN ALL ANGLES WEATHER IT ?S MENTAL,PHYSICAL, OR SPIRITUALLY BUT YOU HAVE TO BE AWARE OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS, NOT SLEEPING WALKING IN THE MENTAL OR SPIRITUAL) ?

KILLING THEM SLOW SO THEY CAN SEE WHAT I DID ?.( NOT MEANING KILLING FOR REAL BUT KILLING THERE SO CALLED IMMATURE IDENTITY OF WHO THEY ARE SO THEY CAN GIVE BIRTH TO THE REAL SPIRITUAL IDENTITY FROM GOD WHICH HAS ETERNAL LIGHT AND INSIGHT WHICH IS WITHIN ONESELF) ?

IF THEY DONT UNDERSTAND WHAT I SAID I ?M PUSHING THERE EYEBALLS WAY TO THE BACK OF THERE HEAD SO THEY CAN SEE WHAT THEY GETTING INTO ?..

THE PART OF THE MIND THAT THEY NEVER BEEN THROUGH..

THE JOURNEY IS COMING CAUSE YOUR GETTING SENT TO, A PLACE HARDER TO FIND, BUT IT ?S ALL IN THE MENTAL ?.

I RUN A BRAINSCAN TO LOCATE YOUR GAME PLAN ?.

WHEN I ?M THROUGH WITH YOUR BRAIN YOU AIN ?T THE SAME MAN ?. !!!

DID YOU LOSE YOUR MIND OR GOT LOST IN THE MIND ?.

BUT THIS AIN ?T THE LOST AND FOUND BECAUSE YOU CAN ?T FIND YOUR FOUNDATION ?IT ?S COASTING ?DRIFTING IN SLOW MOTION ? YOUR FROZEN ?

LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER MURDER IN THE MARDI GRAS ?B !!!(IF YOU THINK YOU THERE MENTALLY AND YOUR LIGHT WHICH IS WISDOM, KNOWLEDGE, AND UNDERSTANDING FROM GOD AND YOU NOT INTUNE WITH LIFES INSIGHT YET THEN YOU MIGHT AS WELL CONSIDER YOUR MENTAL AWARENESS MURDERED ?THAT ?S WHAT IT MEANS..)

TOO LATE TO SEND OUT A SEARCH PARTY ?.

ONCE YOUR OUT OF YOUR HEAD THEN YOU CAN ?T GET BACK ?

I GIVE THEM A MAP BUT THEY STILL GET TRAPPED ?.( I GIVE THEM DIRECTION BECAUSE I ?M RIGHTEOUS BUT THE IGNORANT GET MENTALLY TRAPPED ?GET IT YET ?)

PREPARE THE CHAMBER ?THE TORTURE IS COMING UP ?.

WHEN YOU TRIP THROUGH YOUR MIND AT THE END YOU WILL FIND IT ?S THE PUNISHER ?.(REMEMBER I SAID THAT YOUR MIND IS THE PUNISHER NOT THAT IM THE PUNISHER..(YOUR MIND BECOMES YOUR OWN ENEMY) ?(THE MIND TAKES X-RAY ?S SO LISTEN CLOSELY) ?

MY INTELLECT WILL WRECK AND DISCONNECT YOUR CEREBRAL CORTEX THEN CEREBELLUM IS NEXT ?

YOUR CONSCIENCE BECOMES SUB-CONSCIOUS ?.

SOON YOUR RESPONSE BECOMES NONSENSE ?.

YOUR LAST WORDS BECOME BLURRED ? MUMBLED THEN SLURRED ?

THEN YOUR VERBS WHICH IS YOUR ACTIONS BECOME NO LONGER HEARD ?.

THEN YOU GET YOUR LUNGS FRIED SO GOOD YOUR TONGUES TIED ?.

THEY TRIED TO SWING OR HANG WITH ME IN THE MENTAL BUT THEY HUNG TILL THEY DIED ?.( DIED MEANING ETERNAL MENTAL AND SPIRITUAL DARKNESS) ?

I LEAVE THEM IN A MAUSOLEUM WHERE YOU CAN SEE THEM ?.

BECAUSE I GOT A SPIRITUALLY AND MENTALLY DEAD PEOPLE MUSEUM ?.

WHEN I CREATE THEM ?.I CREMATE THEM AND COMPLICATE THEM ?.YOU CAN ?T SAVE THEM ?THERES NO ULTIMATUM ?!!!

THERE MENTAL DARKNESS LAYS AROUND LIKE BODY ?S BURNED TO ASHES ?.

WITH THE VICTIM ?S NAME IN SLASHES ?.( MENTALLY SCARING THEM FOR LIFE ) ?.

I GOT A LONG LIST AND I ?M GONNA GET EVERY ONE OF YA ?!!!

BEWARE OF THE PUNISHER ?. !!! (BEWARE OF YOUR OWN MIND AND SIRITUAL AWARENESS IN YOURSELF THAT ?S WHAT IT MEANS) ?.

YOU A SLAVE TO WHATEVER MASTERS YOU ?..WHEN DEALING WITH ANY TOPIC OR SITUATUION IN THIS LIFE ?

REMEMBER OUT YOUR MOUTH YOU A SLAVE TO IT, BUT IF IT ?S KEPT IN YOUR HEAD YOU CAN LEARN TO MASTER IT ?. !!!

Yeah ! That will be good for a legend to shine in the wack world of today’s artist, because they show no love for the roots of this hip hop culture. So a Rakim album is always good news to my ear. Let’s hope it comes out sooner than later.
