Rusty Jabbz Newsletter August 2025 "Rakim - The Re-Up" Issue #08

Y'all young niggaz today ain't gonna know 'bout the emcee I'm going to talk 'bout. These young niggaz today don't know anything 'bout living legends in hip hop. Rakim Allah aka The R.

I've been a fan of Rakim since '86. In the days of Eric B and Rakim, "Paid In Full", "Follower The Leader" "Let the Rhythm Hit 'em" and "Check the Technique". Any young nigga that knows 'bout Rakim, he probably was schooled by their parents. 

This is a short album 'bout 29 minutes. Alot of guest appearances on here. I know Rakim is an rap icon. Who wouldn't want to be on a Rakim album. Sometimes you have to sit back and ask, what's the real reason? 

This isn't what I was expecting from a Rakim lp. I knew there would be guest appearances but damn so many. This  sounds like a party lp of god bodies and emcees in the studio.

It pains me to do this. I never thought I would have to do this. I have to be real. This lp is trash.
