Thanks! Great interview! I think Rakim is simply amazing, I remember a time in my life when I listened to nothing but "Michrophone feind" for at least a week or so- now I can recite it word for word. lol.
The Elton John joint just could be good if he sticks to serious stuff like "Stan" and "Ghetto Gospel" but it could be a complete disaster if he starts doing Neptunes or Timbaland style club tracks. Elton John is the last guy I wanna hear a "Drop it like its hot" remix by!
