Yo.. I know I'm way late, but I just now heard Rakim's "After You Die" and I was really impressed, I also remember hearing a similar track on Busta Rhymes album?  Is that right?  It wasn't nothin compared to Rakim's version.

Correct?

i disagree. When I heard the Rakim version last year I thought it came off soft. Busta's version came off very grimm and Dre added the sample to make it real stylish.

Rakim is a far better mc (the greatest, imo)... but Busta's song was far superior.... from the concept, the execution, the creativity and the hook.

busta song is better though

I love Rakims track, it's sick as fuck IMO! The lyrics are great, and I fuckin' love the way he flows, and how he starts rapping "in the middle of the bar"..

Busta's track wasn't all that...
