Eminem vs. Rakim

I think Eminem would have won... his lyrical skill is incredibly breathtaking, he is the best lyricist in the game today, IMO.

i can def respect your opinion but i still feel rakim would win that one,,,,,cause he can hit u wit any style cause of his wide range of weapony........regardless, we still might here them rap together cause they now r on the same label of course........and both r supposed to b on tha detox album.........dont forget ra once said "ill take 7 mcs who think they can rhyme//take 7 more before i go for mine//take 7 more at the same time//thats 21 mc's ate up at the same time".........i would love someone to battle him but i dont think it will ever happen............
how bout nas vs rakim

To the guy who said Nelly. Be realistic!!!
Nelly would destroy Rakim, you should have picked someone much lower on the list like Nas, KRS ONE, or Big L. But Nelly is way ahead of these "rappers". Remember 8X platinum.
Now Nelly versus Mystikal, or B.G., that would be a match.
I'm serious on this one.

I've heard Rakim battle rap, but never directed at anybody. I question if he can. But then again, the same could be said about 2Pac pre Death Row days, and Nas pre Either. The only living rapper today worthy of a shot a Rakim is KRS-One. KRS likes the title teacher, a Rakim is given the title God. Other than KRS, Ice Cube would be worthy, if he ever was music only.

Post by: PLANT on March 18, 2002, 11:48:57 AM
BIG L WOULD HAVE BEEN DOPE AGAINST RAKIM...OR NAS VS. RAKIM...OTHERS ID LIKE TO SEE
XZIBIT VS. DMX
CANIBUS VS. EMINEM
KURUPT VS. INSPECTAH DECK
JADAKISS VS. JAY Z
JA RULE VS. NELLY
P. DIDDY VS. MASTER P

Nelly would rip the fuck out of Rakim, it woulnt even be fair, fuckin 9X platinum, has Rakim ever seen that much?

Ja Rule is the second person who would rip the fuck out of Rakim, he'd be coming with "Where would I be without my babyyyyyy" type of shit, and yall know this shit will ease him a victory...

But the person who would best rip Rakim is most definently Lil Bow Wow...I mean, he's fuckin dope, if you heard his single "Thank You" you'll even see Rakim copied a line from him where Bow Wow says "Fish is my favorite Dish"...Bow Wow would fuckin rip Rakim in peices, thats why Rakim jocked Bow Wows line...Anyone who thinks different is a loser and a fake hip hop head...

His name is Roscoe, and he's too young to fight a vet yet.

LoL @ NIK.

On the real though, Eminem vs. Rakim would be a good battle.
KRS maybe too, but I don't think Nas though.

Post by: DreSnoop00 on March 18, 2002, 01:27:36 PM
i'd say KRS-One, that would be dope. cuz KRS is crazy on freestyles, hes one of my favs when it comes to freestyling and one of the best
Title: Re: who would b worthy to battle rakim ever
Post by: The Watcher on March 18, 2002, 01:41:21 PM
KRS or Eminem. Both would beat him i think.
Title: Re: who would b worthy to battle rakim ever
Post by: S.G.V. on March 18, 2002, 03:41:50 PM
Ras Kass, TechN9ne, Crooked I, Chino XL, Talib Kweli, KRS-One, Xzibit, Eminem.....any of those foos could battle Rakim and test him to the limits....not Nas though....Nas is written....cant be compared to A REAL EMCEE
Title: Re: who would b worthy to battle rakim ever
Post by: bricklayer on March 18, 2002, 05:59:19 PM
now i know........i know your jokin but anyone that thinks the ja rule's or nellys could battle one of ra's bars has got to seriously mentally ill..........it dont matter how many copies he sells, cause most of the people the buy the commercial shit dont have half a brain to comprehend rakim's lyrics..........ya'll will c what im talkin wit "oh my god".........krs would b the best battle vs him, folloed prolly by kane, and thas big daddy kane, then nas, then black thought.........nas would still beat all of dem no matter what.........why da hell do ya'll think he was given the title the god........hollllllllllllla back ya'll

Fuck, Roscoe ain't shit on the mic!  All he do is copy Kurupt's good verses and rearrane them.....that does not take talent.  I like Roscoe's music but i hardly respect his rhymes, and would shutter to think about him verses Rakim.....

As for battling Rakim, if it was a live battle, only a few names come to mind.  Big Daddy Kane, KRS, and LL Cool J.  Some of you may be like LL?  Well, he can get nasty when he wants to and all three of those fools are dope as hell live......

Rakim ain't really been involved on a lot of battles so it is tough to say exactly what would happen against Eminem (of course, Em ain't battled a real rapper before either, except when Evidence of Dilated ripped him a new asshole.......)

Title: Re: who would b worthy to battle rakim ever
Post by: bricklayer on March 19, 2002, 03:20:46 PM
a yo teecee u said rakim aint really been in a battle........i dont ever rememeber him in a battle with anotha mc.....if u know otherwise hit me up.......

Post by: Don Jacob on March 19, 2002, 04:05:29 PM
i think it'd be awesome to see eminem go at it with rakim



everyone else listed would be nice to see aswell but i think that it'd be more interesting having eminem be up there becuase he's just as good freestylin, but he has something none of them have, which is comedy and a character
Title: Re: who would b worthy to battle rakim ever
Post by: teecee on March 19, 2002, 05:26:14 PM
Ya, eminem has character and comedy, and i admit he would give Ra a good battle.....the thing with Rakim is their is nothing you can diss him about.  Anyone else, it is easy pickings.  Rakim, you can't dis the GOD....
Title: Re: who would b worthy to battle rakim ever
Post by: bricklayer on March 19, 2002, 05:30:29 PM
this is very true.......which is why i dont em and ra to battle even tho it would b nice, but i would b at least a dream to see em rock the mic wit da god.......i mean theres really no exuse cause thier on the same label.......personally i wanna see a lot of the smokin rappers right now rock wit ra, cause u gots to agree ra's gonna blow the fuck up once his album drops......actually peeps is stratin to talk bout him with that lil feat wit truth hurts......holllllllllllllllllllllllllaaaaaaaaa
i still wanna see krs vs rakim.....i would do anythin to see that
peace
