Title: Jay-z and Rakim

I would love to hear Rakim on a "Blue Magic" remix! But no one wants to mess wit the R cuz we'll eat Jay alive.

It'd be a witty rhymefest that's for sure. I never really cared for either lyrically. I prefer something like Pac's Unconditional Love or Dear Mama to self promotion with jokes in between. I've never really felt any real emotion in the lyrics of Ra or Jay. Ra's still one of the great rappers of all time though. A revolutionary writer of rhymes. Just nothing special at writing words in my opinion. Then again it's been a while since I've sat and listened to him. I'd appreciate being proven wrong. It sure beats looking through all my old CDs.

Jay-Z and Rakim ripped that "The Watcher Pt.2" track. But why would you want to hear anyone rap on "Blue Magic"? That song is ass!

I always enjoy hearing Ra period...especailly peared with other MC, you just dont him that to often. Since Jay referred to Ra on the track I thought it woulf be nice to feature him on a remix.
