Rakim - "Microphone Fiend" / Slaughterhouse -"Microphone"

"The invincible microphone fiend Rakim." Rakim's rhyming deviated from the simple rhyme patterns of the early 1980s hip hop. His style and flow inspired a whole new breed of mc's that followed after him. (ex: Nas, Az,Raekwon, eminem etc) He single handily change the game.

Below I have Slaughterhouse's version "Microphone" This is obviously a homage to Rakim's "Microphone Fiend" This team is something serious, I'm always excited to hear what they come up with. Their definitely a group you have to look out for.

Mos Def - Brooklyn (Original Version)

This is the original version of Mos Def's song "Brooklyn." The album version is found on his debut "Black on Both Sides." On the original version, Mos Def is rhyming over "Incarcerated Scarfaces" by Raekwon as well as "Give Up the Goods (Just Step)" by Mobb Deep, and "Who Shot Ya?" by The Late Great Notorious B.I.G. This is definitely a rare song. Download link: Brookyln (Original Version)
