Rakim is too underrated

[BTD]

obviously the 90s were the best era in hip hop...he was the best in the 80s and put out some good albums in the 90s too...your the best when you start off your career and he started in the 80s with paid in full which is easily a top 5 album of all time....nas started out in the 90s with illmatic which is also a top 5 album of all time....yea they say rakim fell off a bit in the 90s but look at nas in the 2000s same thing happens...

if your comparing discographys rakim was more consistant than nas imo but if you took something like the top 50 songs from each and compared than nas would win,its like comparing kobe and michael jordan they were both the greatest of there time but they started from different eras so you cant really compare

there both top 3 of all time but even nas made a song about rakim cuz he himself calls rakim the goat
