RAKIM MONTREALITY INTERVIEW

“This is one of those albums where I can have fun. My last album, The Seventh Seal, was somewhat of a conscious album. I wanted to made a statement on that album.” In the video above Rakim confirms he is indeed in the process of making another album.

- His upcoming album (0:24) - J. COLE (1:01) - KENDRICK LAMAR / To Pimp A Butterfly (1:50) - Love for the New Generation (2:48) - Feeling sharp as ever (4:11) - Who HIP HOP belongs to (4:56) - The biggest lie in the world (6:14) - His message to the youth (7:53)

Rakim argues that the 50 year-olds watching DJ Kool Herc spin in the early ’70s are now in their nineties, stressing that Hip-Hop does not just belong to the young, but rather, is ageless. Additionally, the Long Island, New York legend adds that he feels he is at his sharpest with the mic today, but cites 50% confidence and 50% cockiness as to why.
