		<description>OK here&#039;s the problem. Assuming Rakim still has something to say on record, why hasn&#039;t he dropped anything? 

Why not use one of the newer school underground producers to bring a fresh sound to a classic voice?

You don&#039;t think Madlid, El-P, DangerMouse, 9th Wonder, etc. wouldn&#039;t break their necks to do the Rakim album?

I just don&#039;t think he has anything left to say that he didn&#039;t already perfect in the 80s. But if you give some young visionary producers the opportunity to inject their enthusiasm and technique we could see a classic piece of work.</description>

		<description>I cant say that there is one mc whos the greatest. They all, including the women mcs, have their own style and culture to bring to hip hop. I can say that bro Rakim is one of the best. Always conscious and always alert.</description>

		<description>Rakim&#039;s comments on the need for the preservation of the music and history of hip hop were right on point.

		<description>Rah. WAs the greatest MC of all time. Put his body of work against anybody&#039;s and all opposition fails miserably. Song for Song.. Value vs Value.. Hit against Hit. There isnt one Mc that really messes with dude on Lyricism, Radio cuts, etc. I&#039;m a huge Big fan but I still got to give it to Rah for his music&#039;s effect on the culture and our people. Rah is the G.O.A.T...R.I.P Big</description>
