I respect it but that doesn't mean its better.Rap evolved from the old school to more complex rhymes,more musical production etc.Compare the production of today to the 80s its not even close.Musically the 80s was simple.And rhymes?Compare some of the people now to then.Its not even close.Rakim was a one of a kind then.Nowadays theirs tons and tons of rappers that can spit sick shit.The 8 0s get its respect its the beginning.But that doesn't make it better.Your obviously stuck in the past.
You listen to j kwon and nelly your opinion doesn't matter
LOL did you just write rakim the master?that album was ass
The fact you said new York fell off and only rate illmatic 03.5 is odd as its widely considered the greatest hip hop album ever made.And you don't even have it in your top 20.That's old man sydrome.
