[Edited 7/14/08 0:37am] A little too high strung when for the first ten years of his career to be #1. I do have the most respect for him as a rapper/hip hop artist though because he has endured for more than 20 years when most careers fade after 5 or so. | |

And I'd put in a word for MF Doom as well. 
"I came in the door, I said it before I never let the mic magnatize me no more But its biting me, fighting me, inviting me to rhyme I cant hold it back, Im looking for the line, Taking off my coat, clearing my throat My rhyme will be kicking it until I hit my last note My mindll range to find all kinds of ideas Self-esteem makes it seem like a thought took years to build But still say a rhyme after the next one Prepared, never scared, Ill just bless one And you know that Im the soloist So eric b, make em clap to this I dont bug out or chill or be acting ill No tricks in 86, its time to build Eric b easy on the cut, no mistakes allowed Cuz to me, mc means move the crowd I made it easy to dance to this But can you detect whats coming next from the flex of the wrist Saying indeed that I (and I'll) precede cuz my man made a mix If he bleed he wont need no band-aid to fix If they can get some around until (With fingertips on the record till) theres no rhymes left I hurry up because the cut will make em bleed to death But hes kicking it because it aint no half stepping The party is live, the rhyme cant be kept in- Side, it needs (of me) erupting just like a volcano It aint the everyday style of the same old rhyme Because Im better then the rest of them Eric b is on the cut and my name is Rakim Go get a girl and get soft and warm, Dont get excited, you've been invited to a quiet storm But now its out of hand cuz you told me you hate me And then you ask what have I done lately First you said all you want is love and affection Let me be your angel and Ill be your protection Take you out, buy you all kinds of things I must of got you too hot and burned off your wings You caught an attitude, you need food to eat up Im scheming like Im dreaming on a couch wit my feet up You scream Im lazy, you must be crazy Thought I was a donut, you tried to glaze me Funky..."   Just correcting your lyrics. [Edited 7/15/08 16:57pm] | |

I thought he was cool until I saw his studio and it had two books - a thesaurus and a rhyming dictionary. OK...I never thought he was cool. But he really does use a thesaurus and a rhyming dictionary, which I find hilarious. "Lessss see...how many words rhyme wit 'dick'? How about 'muthafucka'? Hand me my rhyming dictionary, bitch!"  | |
