The Seventh Seal

[rakim]

Does anyone know how Rakim's Seventh Seal sales are going? I heard about the first week sales but I havent heard much since. Also did anyone ever get the completed bonus track from the album?

[TraceOneInfinite]

Album sounds kind of dope.  What does everyone think about it?

[LAZY]

very very solid album! i got it the day it was released, a week later im still bumpin it, even harder this week than last. For all the people that arnt feelin it, are you listening to the words? At a first listen it was drowned out by this Tracey Horton guy on so many tracks, but theres actually a couple hes good on.  i think a majority of the album is good, i can bump it straight through. heres my favorite tracks:

Walk These Streets
Wont Be Long: kind of an inspiring song, he spits the truth. its about his struggle in the game and then other common struggles today
                                                                         "with these days of recession, we aint safe yet
                                                                           pray, a paycheck away from the great depression,
                                                                           major stressin, but we wait for blessins,
                                                                           long as the federal reserve still paper pressin" 
Holy Are You
Satisfaction Guaranteed: comparing music to drugs, calling it a drug. Its my drug of choice so i really enjoy this song.
                                                                        "go on tour its like im trafficin drugs
                                                                         who want musical narcotics, the R got it
                                                                         bomb product cuz yall profit when yall cop it"
Working For You: good song for the ladies, not putting em down or trying to be sexy, just a man
Message In The Song
Put It All To Music: very cool song about music, how important it is, what we do to it
                                                                        "what ever your personal prefence is,
                                                                          Ra be rollin ghetto music
                                                                          the personal therapist, music is theraputic
                                                                          sit back in a chair and vibe out, or just relax and
                                                                          clear your mind out, and the beat'll make you put it in gear and ride out"
Still In Love: in love with hip hop "if musics like women im whipped like a nymph"

anyway don't be fooled by the track titles and corny reviews by others , check this shit out

[Episcop Cruel Cvrle]

Wont Be Long is such a great song.

Holy R You is a candidate for the best song of 2009 in my eyes.

[Triple OG Rapsodie]

It's an okay album, but disappointing from the likes of Rakim. I gave it a 3/5

[Blood$]

"Holy Are You" is a candidate for the best song of 2009 in my eyes.

for sure, the first time I heard it I was already thinking that

[AlerG]

It's an okay album, but disappointing from the likes of Rakim. I gave it a 3/5

I felt the same way, haven't had the urge to go back and spin it many times,

If you compare it to Rakim's older discography of course it pales but it's a solid album in its own respect.

[Chamillitary Click]

strong, real solid album; one of the best of the year.

but it was missing something for me, it was nothing we haven't heard, you know?

4/5.

[The-Leak (aka) kingwell (bka) JULES]

It's just really disheartening that the 4 joints off THE ARCHIVE are better than every single song on here (save Holy Are You).
