Rakim Allah (28 de enero de 1968 - ) es un rapero estadounidense originario de Long Island.

Nació con el nombre de William Griffin el 28 de enero de 1968. Es uno de los raperos más legendarios e influyentes de la historia del hip hop, considerado como el tercer mejor rapero de la historia, después de Notorious B.I.G. y Tupac Shakur.

Biografía

Rakim es el hijo pequeño de Guillermo Michael, y creció en Long Island, Nueva York, en donde desarrolló mucho de su talento del rap.

Eric B. & Rakim

En 1985 formó una sociedad musical. Eric Barrier y William Griffin hicieron posteriormente uno de los grupos más conocidos e influyentes de la historia del hip hop: Eric B. y Rakim. El grupo estaba influenciado por el jazz de finales de los años 80. Empezaron su carrera con el famoso productor Marley Marl, con el que tuvieron un gran éxito en su primer álbum, Paid in Full. Durante la grabación del disco, ambos miembros no ocultaron su deseo de crear un álbum en solitario. Sin embargo, Eric B. rechazó firmar el contrato de liberación de la compañía discográfica, temeroso de que Rakim abandonaría. Esto condujo a una larga batalla tribunal entre los dos artistas que terminó en la separación del grupo. Eric B. tuvo una corta y desafortunada carrera en solitario, al contrario que su compañero.

En solitario

Después de lanzar cuatro álbumes, Eric B. y Rakim se separan en 1992 debido a disputas elgales sobre derechos de autor y contratos.

    How the fuck are you gonna blame the disappointing album on Rakim trying to go "commercial".....that album doesn't sound commercial in the least bit. It's just a bad album straight up.

    Yeah, after a third listen, the album is quite subpar. A couple good songs, but in general, it is pretty boring. Rakim does not have it anymore. The beats are pretty much crap. "Holy Are You" is the best song easily.

    U'r totally right, man. For 1995 this album will be average. But nowadays it's nothing but fire. Rakim made a really good album.

    I'm very disappointed with the new album. The production is just shitty. I dont like the beats. He had a lot of time and he came out with this? What the hell?

    *since after the mid-90s, I didn't mean to imply that the mid-90s sucked too. 1995 was the last great year for hip hop, its been downhill ever since. Lets be glad that we had a solid decade of amazing hip hop music that we will always have to listen to. Rediscover the old school artists, play them to our children and grandchildren when we're older just like our great-grandparents played 1920s-era jazz music to their kids and grandkids.

    I'm not sure what you all expected. I hate to say this, but hip hop has pretty much sucked since the mid-90s - with a few exceptions here and there, but overall it has completely lost what it used to be. Its a shame to have to say that, but we have to face the facts. There's no way Rakim could have dropped an album on par with his previous classics. So to those of you saying that Ra is no longer the God MC - of course he still is. Its not his fault that hip hop sucks nowdays, that's just how it is. Hip hop will never ever recapture the spirit that it once had, and "heads" need to come to terms with that. Instead of criticizing him, we should be grateful that he has left us with 5 classic albums, that we'll be able to enjoy for the rest of our lives. Those albums will never be taken away from us - we'll be able to listen to them in 2050 if we want. They'll always be there. Its the same with Raekwon. Of course OBCL2 wasn't as good as the original - so lets just enjoy what he left us

    New album is pretty cool. It's not as good as his old stuff though obviously.

    Not what it used to be, but the 2009 album does have classic tunes and beats ... thumbs up.
