Jaw Breaker;1699704 said: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.

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.
