🎙️ Props Due: Rakim

With all due respect — Rakim changed the entire language of hip-hop.

When most emcees were rocking party rhymes and call-and-response records, Rakim came in with a new kind of seriousness — a meditative, lyrical, almost spiritual flow.

He introduced complex internal rhymes, a calm delivery, and an introspective tone that made rap feel intellectual.

Partnered with Eric B., Rakim’s debut album Paid in Full (1987) set the blueprint for lyricism in hip-hop — influencing everyone from Nas and Jay-Z to Kendrick Lamar.

Even decades later, his records are still sampled and licensed in film, TV, and commercials — proof that staying true to artistry can outlast any trend.

✊🏾 Respect is due — Rakim, the God MC.

How it All Got Started

We do this for the Culture There was a time when the mass media wasn’t giving the public not nearly enough musical options. Not enough diversity when it came to Hip Hop especially and something had to be done. Back in 2009, we had our start on the island of Oahu and then began to spread from coast to coast and from country to country. Our goal was to capture the stories of Hip Hop from around the world. We would feature independent or iconic artists and use them as a portal to tell us their personal Hip Hop story. This model has become very common from one site to the next but we certainly were some of the first to feature several artists that many of you now know on a mainstream level. Going into our 9th year, 2018 will mark our biggest journey yet but remember one thing. We do this for the Culture! Peace! Co-Founder, J.Fletch
