Casual hip hop fans will spout such names as Biggie, Tupac, or even the likes of Nas, Jay-Z, and Eminem when speaking on the greatest of all-time. But, older hip hop heads say there is really no discussion. Most say Rakim is the greatest of all-time, with Big Daddy Kane in the mix.
Rakim went down in history as one of rap’s all-time greatest, with such names as 50 Cent often citing him as inspiration. The Long Island legend, with Eric B., made history. This duo made classic records and coined the phrase “thinking of a master plan.”
Recently, Rakim visited “The Breakfast Club,” doing something rare with DJ Envy, Angela Yee, and Charlamagne Tha God, an interview. In the conversation, the conversation was about hip hop history, particularly his. But, he also spoke on his work with Eric B., then Dr. Dre afterward, his book, and more.
