This is a man that truly needs no introduction. He stepped on the scene in the mid eighties and proceeded to change the game based on his laid back flow and lyrics steeped in lessons. He’s your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper and you’d be hard pressed to find an emcee that Rakim ‘ain’t influenced.’ In the second half of a two-part, two-hour super exclusive interview Halftime caught up with the God MC himself to talk about his career from day 1 to now and all points in between including coming up as a fledgling emcee in Long Island to his new deal and up coming album. In the second hour we talk to Ra about a bit more about his time at Aftermath, why he isn’t all on mixtapes, the concept behind his new record, another writing style and get even more personal as we talk about his family life, finances, and more. It’s probably one of the most personal and revealing Rakim interviews to date – Part 2. Check it out. Less
