I know who Rakim is, I heard him *before* hearing Nas.
And once I heard Nas for the first time I thought of Nas as Ra 1.5.

But, what I'm saying is impact & relevancy. Rakim no doubt was very important for the development as Mcing lyrically, and sylistically.

But, today he has no relevance, none whatsoever to the average Hip-Hop listener.

You said overall, so I figured relevance today counted as well.
