Push Play and Listen

ByT. Joneson November 17, 2009

Format: VinylVerified Purchase

No this isn't the Rakim I first heard when I was 17, but then I'm 40 so I'd expect dude to grow up also. I've been a Rakim fan since "My Melody," and I've bought a couple of his recent albums that I skipped a lot of the tracks, but this one is a banger from front to back. This is definitely a album worth buying if for no other reason than to inspire more artist to follow the true leader. Yes there is more singing on this album than other Rakim releases, but the singing adds to the song quality and doesn't distract from the lyrics. Rakim will broaden his appeal with this album without turning off his core fan base. The truth is unless an artist makes money he or she gets marginalized and we get the garbage that gets played on the radio. Talent is not saying Ni**a in every other line or talking about what you have in every rhyme, but that's whats making money right now and getting labeled as real hip-hop. The 7th Seal is true hardcore hip-hop without the ni**ga's and bit'hs or the fake beefs, glorifying drug dealing, gang banging and diss tracks. This is an album that only adds to Rakim's status as the best ever in the game. Unlike many artist returning from a long absence who get the hot for the moment producer, fill the album with famous guest appearances, and jump on the latest trend, Rakim stays true to himself and hip-hop while sounding as fresh as he did in 1986. Next time around maybe he'll get a couple DJ Premiere tracks, but he proved he didn't need Dre to put out a great album!

Stand out tracks:
-Walk these Streets
-Documentary of a Gangsta
-You and I
-Man Above
-Holy are U
-Satisfaction Garanteed
-Psychic Love
-Still in Love (with hip-hop)
-Dedicated (This joint has radio all over it, but listen to the lyrics)
-Actually all the tracks are better than the average, professionally produced and have something to like about them.

I was looking for more stuff like, "The Mystery (Who is God)

ByMurphon May 11, 2016

Format: Audio CDVerified Purchase

I was looking for more stuff like, "The Mystery (Who is God)," but this was different. Compared to "The Mystery," a lot of the songs on this one seem kind of annoying. After putting it away for months though, it was better when I came back to it.

Rakim... Enough said

ByHenri SavinVINE VOICEon March 19, 2014

Format: Audio CDVerified Purchase

Rakim is one of the most respected rappers by connoisseurs.
I loved him with Eric B. and I was sorry when they broke up.
Rakim came back many years later alone with the 18th letter which was a bomb!

The seventh seal contains the 18th letter and a best of of Eric B and Rakim... How can anyone may dislike that?

Hip-hop God.

ByCharleson October 21, 2014

Format: MP3 MusicVerified Purchase

Rakims best work since the 18th Letter. Rakim sends such a powerful message with this album. Rakims lyrical ability with out question is the best ever. A hip-hop God. For anyone going through things listen to this album and your spirit will be lifted.

Real Hip Hop

ByNappyXLon November 17, 2009

Format: MP3 MusicVerified Purchase

Like the one dude who is 40 I have been a fan of Rakim since Paid in Full. I am 34 now and consider myself an old school hip hop head. Rakim paved the way for many artist these days that stay true to the form, artists like Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Nas, Common, just to name a few. Hip Hop is has its trends like any other form of media or art. Right now it is in this garbage mode where everything that comes out is just that...GARBAGE!!! I dont even listen to radio FM or Satellite anymore, everything is redundant if you know what I mean. So, thank God, or Allah for Rakim. Thanks for brining us back to where Hip Hop should be, this album delivers both Lyrically, Musically, Spiritually. Artists in any Genre have an obligation to transcend their art form. Rakim has done that, for those that consider themselves to be Artists. Listen to Rakim or KRS-ONE or MOS DEF or Kweli, then listen to your garbage.....HEAR THA DIFFERNCE

Finally a new Rakim album - 4.5 stars

ByG$on December 9, 2009

Format: Audio CDVerified Purchase

Go back 20+ years when Rakim, along with Eric B., revolutionized the way rhymes were delivered, it was the late 80's and hip-hop was mainly an underground thing just starting to get big. Over the late 80's & early 90's the duo put out 4 albums then had a falling out, in late 90's Rakim dropped 2 albums without Eric B ("The 18th Letter" - 1997, 4.5 stars; and "The Master" - 1999, 4 stars). That was 10 years ago since Ra dropped an album and this one finally gets released after years of pushbacks and setbacks (heard about this album at elast 4 years ago supposed to be coming out on Aftermath). This one is worth the 10 year wait (though it was WAY too long for a great like Rakim). With 14 songs, you get 2 Classics, and the other 12 are good, mostly real good songs. Guests are on 7 songs, but just rapping on 1 the rest just handle the hook. Production is nice as well. Nick Wiz does 4 songs, J Wells, Slyce, Robert Cray Band, Needlz, Y-Not, Nottz, Jake One, Neo da Matrix, Lofey and Poppa Pill each do 1. As he always has the last 20+ years, his flow and delivery haven't lost a step and this is a must have album from a legend.
