Rakim responded to the criticism of his 2009 album, The Seventh Seal , with unabashed, blatant and refreshing truth. He was criticized for making a record not friendly for the radio and, judging from his response, he doesn't care. Here's what he said: "You care about it, but you don't let it do nothing to you. It's rap, it's an album, some people will like it, some people won't. Hip Hop is so diverse and mixed right now, you have a lot of fans who like radio-friendly Hip Hop. I don't do that. [...]

" I perform in cities, hoods & slums, The best seller is drugs, and money's the only thing that gets love, They say don't let it make you, but that's how they rate you, And the more you got, the more they hate you ..." Another page turns on the calender, but you'd never know it by strolling through an inner-city neighborhood. Things pretty much stay the same while the ever changing cast of characters are the only way of marking time. With an assist from Maino , The God MC breaks it down on [...]

If it wasn't for Warren Griffin Jr. and the innovative style of rhyming that he displayed on his genre-shaping album Paid In Full in 1987, Hip-Hop may have never reached the heights that it has reached in the past two decades. Rakim's status is nothing short of a living legend and his influence reaches across nearly every spread of contemporary music, whether intentionally or not. After a full decade since his last release, The God MC decided to serve up his much anticipated 8th LP The Seventh Seal with his [...]

"...tsunami it out." Gotty™ v. LC debates are frequent, but rarely heated. He pushes me toward levels of thought I would believe to run perpendicular to my own, but indeed often run parallel on a different plane. But one thing we will never agree on is public radio. For G, NPR is nap-time music that will put a bright-eyed driver into a ditch. For me, it's the most informative and intimate story-telling medium there is for a reporter. It's my bread and butter and my way of life. But whether [...]

If ever there was a Smoking Session that needn't nary an introduction, this would be it. The Living Legend, mythical monoym: Rakim, builds with TSS Crew's TC about his forthcoming album The Seventh Seal and how a pioneer can still break new ground amongst an even newer generation.

New ish from Rakim

In regards to "Walk These Streets," this new Maino-assisted heatrock from AC3 headliner Rakim, I couldn't help but get this extremely weird inkling that Dr. Dre was manning the ship as I streamed the fiery drop from Ra Allah's upcoming album, The Seventh Seal . Whether he gets credited or not, I'm 93% sure it's Team Andre on the boards, which only pisses me off when thinking about how good Oh, My God could've been. I'm sure the living legend will [...]

Leader of the true school seeks return to relevance with The Seventh Seal

"It's been a long time, I shouldn't have left you, without a strong rhyme to step to." Ten years to be exact, Rakim . Fans of the legendary New York MC, who spat the above rhyme on 1987's classic "I Know You Got Soul," will finally get to hear a new album from hip-hop icon Rakim – who now goes by Rakim Allah – when The Seventh Seal hits the streets Nov. 17th. The long-awaited follow-up to 1999's The Master , features cameos by Busta Rhymes , Jadakiss , [...]

The one and only Rakim has been threatening to release a fresh album for an age now, but it's never quite eventuated. To be honest, most fans have probably long given up on hearing anything new from the God MC; it's been a decade since his last album, 1999's The Master , and a good 8 years since his much-vaunted signing to Dr Dre's Aftermath label, after all. Following repeated promises of delivering what has became an album of mythical proportions, Ra eventually parted company with the good Doctor before a musical shot was fired – with [...]

As far as mythical albums go, The Seventh Seal > Detox . Ever since Ra demolished that Truth Hurts featuring spot a while back, he's been yapping about this album dropping soon. And we've been leaning back, twiddling our thumbs waiting, judging, forgetting, dismissing. But now, with the release of his first official single off The Seventh Seal , Ra has just revived interest in what many still consider a fictitious project. Am I the only one still eager for this album [...]
