Rakim released his 1st single "Walk These Streets" feat. Maino, check it out: http://www.allhiphop.com/stories/multimedia__music/archive/2009/10/08/21971168.aspx

Peace Turntable! Notorious B.I.G. "Juicy", I'm not a Biggie fan but I can't deny the greatness of this song

Rakim Feat. Maino "Walk These Streets", it's a cool song but I know there'll be better songs on "The Seventh Seal": http://www.allhiphop.com/stories/multimedia__music/archive/2009/10/08/21971168.aspx

Nas & Olu Dara "Bridging The Gap"

Kool Moe Dee "Wild Wild West", speaking of original tracks that the Fresh Prince covered

Hey I noticed I'm doing pretty well so far this season with a 2-1 record, I'm beating ya ass today Visqo, lol

I was about to post about this, sad, very sad, RIP to another legend...

Tribe Called Quest "Check The Rhime"

MC Lyte "10% Dis"

R. Kelly "Bad Man"

Kool Moe Dee "I Go To Work"

Rakim's been working on this album for quite awhile so I'm expecting nothing but greatness here

I think more than one artist gets in so LL has a chance

Ice Cube "The N--- Trapp"

Yeah KRS might've took it a bit too far there but I could understand where he's coming from, I don't think Def Jam deserved a whole show dedicated to them

I wouldn't rank Jay-Z high as other people do but I gotta give the dude props 'cause he's been putting in work for quite awhile, I like this interview he did with Oprah: http://www.oprah.com/article/omagazine/200910-omag-oprah-interviews-jay-z

DMX "Lord Give Me A Sign"

When you've been blessed with a career like mine, you develop a deep relationship with the music, and that love is recognized by the true heads that share it with you. You'll see us keep building as we break through each Seal...showing the best of what I can do in many forms, bringing the energy and having fun, but first I'm laying that foundation and give my longtime fans the conscious fire they expect," Rakim said in a statement.
