The GOAT RAKIM breaks down his writing process

The #GOAT 🐐 @thegodrakim breaks down his writing process in a couple of bars from his book "Sweat The Technique." Listen closely. We take these complex rhyme patterns for granted, because they have become commonplace for elite MCs (we have since elevated and built upon this foundation). However, keep in mind... The thought of such intricacies NEVER EXISTED at such a level until #Rakim introduced the concept of even possessing the ability to rap in such multidimensional rhyme schemes that conveyed the deepest of thoughts in a vividly graspable presentation. Whoever your top MC is, I guarantee you they only have the freedom to spit lyrically, acrobatically and intricately because of the door that the original god MC opened. My favorite rapper is your favorite rapper's favorite rapper. 🎤👑
