Mr. Rakim

This man is one of the greatest ever. One half of Eric B & Rakim. True HipHop lovers knows and respect Rakim for that He changed the way rappers and emcees flow.

Proof?

Rakim pioneered a practice previously unknown to hip-hop called internal rhyming. Prior to Rakim, hip-hop music lyricism was usually rather simple from a structural standpoint and the ideas it expressed were easy and direct. Instead of relying solely on rhyming couplets, Rakim pioneered using internal rhyme multiple times within just a few lines. Rakim also popularized the use of metaphors with multiple meanings. His songs were the first to really impart hip-hop music lyrics with a serious poetic device sensibility.

And in action.



There ya go. SO DON'T SWEAT THE TECHNIQUE.
