Without hyperbole Rakim is a christ-like figure and if there were no video or audio recordings of him a religion would've already formed around his legend,accomplishments and body of work. There is an exact Before Rakim (BR) and After Rakim (AR) as opposed to BC (Before Christ) and After Death (AD) which have now been secularized into Before Common Era (BCE) and Anno Domini (AD). His eloquence, ability to articulate, voice, extensive vocabulary, flow, spirituality, rhyme schemes all have left an indelible mark on a culture which has shaped an entire generation. Where James Brown said,"Say it loud, I'm black and I'm proud!", Rakim picked up where he left off and boldly infused his music with 5% teachings of I.S.L.A.M. and empowered hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of people to realize their true place and worth in the world. Many have even named their children after him, A.S.A.P. Rocky being the most famous and notable instance of this honor. His influence can be heard in almost any Emcee who has come after him and without him there would be no Eminem, Nas, Biggie, Jay-Z or whoever anyone might claim in the perpetual debate of TOP 5. For his contributions to Hip-Hop both from a spiritual and artistic context Ikigai Rekōdo salutes a true pioneer and original and would like to observe his birthday at this time. Happy Born Day to the G.O.D. Emcee, Rakim Allah.
