It seems we all forgot about that real hip hop

new shit..

Rakim - It's Nothin
Finally an official studio version.

Rakim - Hip Hop

Rakim's Seventh Seal to be released this year. "The number 7 has a lot of significance. The 7th letter of the alphabet is G -- that stands for God. There are 7 continents, 7 seas. The 'Seventh Seal' deals with that and also some revelations in the Bible...Some call it the end of the world, but for me it's the end of the old and the beginning of the new. By me naming my album that, I'm using it metaphorically in hip-hop. I'm hoping to kill the old state of hip-hop and start with the new." - Rakim
