Listen people....Rakim is in his 40's and still doing it. What did ya'll expect? All i'm reading is the BS about production but Rakims lyrics has always been the main attraction. Over the last decade or so production has taken a front seat but rhymes has always been HIP HOP. Where was the production in the park...where it all started. Thats where Ra comes from. The album is totally left from what is out there....and thats a good thing. Stop fucusing on the beats...and they are not bad by the way.....and focus on the content. His flow is STILL tight and is content is revolutionary...again. Who else is rapping like this? Who else is talking about rebuilding rap? Who else is using words instead of cursing all the time? Who else is stayn true instead of fronting like they a real gangsta. I havent heard one Nigga, Bitch, ho, dick, pussy...on this album but yall say its garbage, this man is what HIP HOP should be and his trying to show you that, dont be so shallow!!!!!!. Rakim is the truest Left. Appreciate the talent and stop comparing him to the current rappers. See, thats why lil Wayne can sell so many records, cuz you people love his beats not his lyrically ability, his content. Now would you rather have lil Wayne, Guccie Mane and all those cats or Rakim. Lets grow up people....Rakim did! LISTEN to the WORDS that are coming out of his mouth.
is it worth at least downloadin?

If someone hates Game, you hate them. If Game hates one person's camp, you hate them. Someone doesn't accept your fucking opinion, you hate.After a few spins, I am still loving this album. Rakim at his worst is better than most at their best.
