rakim : the one true god
Ten years in the waiting, The Seventh Seal has dropped…
…and goddamn, that is one bad record. Really awful. I guess every single top-shelf producer and same-weight-class-MC was in Barbados or Minnetonka that week, so he had to settle for a bunch of cats he found at the bus station or some shit. It’s like Marlon Brando making his big return to acting by guest starring on Everybody Loves Raymond.
So instead, just get yourself ‘Holy Are You’, cool out to some more unreleased cuts and remixes, and let us never speak of it again.

For real!!! The album is terrible. So disppointing. And did you noticed how nearly all songs followed the same formula…loop a sample of someone singing on the hook? That joint “You & I” sounded like a tune any 13 year old “producer” could have done. Rakim definitely blew it on his return to greatness.
