@Goldie i voted Rakim because he birthed and mastered the style of hip-hop i hate and despise the most and is that type of rapper. Technical lyrical rap. I would be a hypocrite if i didn't vote him. I promised
@AP21 i wouldn't use the word to describe this style of rap Rakim birthed though
Also because he partly influenced my fave artist Eminem if Rakim didn't exist exist there wouldn't a lyrical Eminem in any form so there would be no Relapse, Slim Shady LP, Infinite, Hell The Sequel. We would just get the Mockingbird, Superman, Hailie's Song, Not Afraid, Stronger Than I Was, Beautiful, Headlights, The Real Slim Shady, My Name Is, Love The Way You Lie, Space Bound, Spend Some Time, Arose Eminem. Just get albums like The Eminem Show, Recovery, The Marshall Mathers LP 2, Revival.
In fact he might not even been a rapper he very likely would have been a pop singer singing how he sings on his hooks on the the entire songs. Basically songs like Stronger Than I Was and Hailie's Song from him without the 1 rap verse. I really wished this was the case like really really wished.
So u can't accuse me of ever being a hypocrite
