2986144, I think you're selling Rakim short here Posted by Garhart Poppwell, Mon Mar-20-17 12:57 PM
Nas' style is nothing like Rakim's even though he influenced Nas, but they're both masters. Nas is unique because he utilizes high lyricism to tell vastly detailed and layered stories, whereas Rakim is more intricate and his lines/verses/songs have multiple meanings. Listening to both are different experiences, as they should be.
