yeah, rakim is arguably the best lyriicist of all time. i might put ghostface ahead of him for storytelling, and i might put chuck d ahead of him for sheer ferocity, and i might put the gza ahead of him for vocabulary, but for pure flow no one touches rakim. i actually saw him and ghostface do a show together once. best hip hop show ive ever seen, and ive seen a pretty good amount.
