I think it's exactly the opposite. In this song he used both Rakim's & Kane's flow and rhyme style.

I got the 18th letter and the master albums the other day and gave them a listen and theres no doubt that lyrically Rakim is a monster but i couldnt help but hear AZ's flow alot. What do you think did he steal the flow or am i wrong?

Yes Rakim was around years before AZ but back in the 80's his flow was basic on his later albums it sounded alot like az flow to me, maybe you fools should go listen to the albums im talkin about before you comment.

I kinda feel like AZ is like Kane and Nas is like (no pun intended) Rakim as far as rhyme style.

I have to strongly disagree.....Rakim was talking about 5% percent teachings, world politics,etc. thus earning an underground label of being called "Afro-asiatic" which lead to a brief beef on wax wit known other than Kane who was calling himself "the original Afro-asiatic".

Rakim even spit bars defaming well known MC's back in those days whom he accused of biting his style...hence I AINT NO JOKE where he's goin at Parrish Smith and Big Daddy Kane.

Didn't Kane respond to "I Ain't No Joke" with "Mortal Combat"?

possibility but BOTH had many subliminal lines that you would need to put 2 & 2 together to decipher whom was being targeted

Either the T/S is under 21 or he lost his fuckin' mind...

Rakim laid the modernized MCing blueprint and everybody else followed...

Im 23 and have alot of respect for Rakim, no doubt he did alot for hiphop but his flow back in the 80's was very basic compared to a rapper like Biggie for example.

I just noticed that his flow was alot like AZs on the albums he released in the late 90's u tryin tell me this isnt AZ's rhyme pattern?
