You can check out some of his Dr. Dre tracks, Dre got him to switch up his style.

Here's one that wasn't even from Dre's album though:

"How about some hardcore, yeah we like it raw for sure
Broads on the floor, wall to wall
There's more at the door, players ball to score" - Rakim (Talking about bitches)

"Rakim and Primo, yo I got what you need bro
You go see a show, smoke an L, mean yo" - Rakim (Talking about weed)

"To my elite peeps with the murderous mystiques
I hit the streets with beats and they critique for weeks
They be like "How that kid Ra reach the peak?"
Pull out the heat and use my technique to speak" - Rakim (Rakim glorifying murders and talking about heat)

"When it's ugly, then the club is lovely
Thugs be sipping Henessey and bubbly" - Rakim (Talking about thugs and alcohol).

Throwing what wall up, Pensmoke? How do you think this thread got to 9 pages? It sure as hell wasn't about your video. The thread got poppin once I came in. I answered every question posed to me. I debated any poster who tried to discredit my principles. And now I'm throwing a wall up. On page number 9. OK Pensmoke, whatever you say.

If that's how you feel than that's how you feel. But don't come in the thread and judge my posts without expressing your own sentiments on the matter. Stand up and voice your opinion, or sit down and be quiet.

dude rakim is a man, he likes women, and you know very well why Rakim left Aftermath, because he WASN'T a sellout and wasn't going to make commercial bullcrap for Dr. Dre unlike 2pac.

this debate went from being about one thing to being a thread arguing about 2pac, about shit that had nothing to do with why this thread was even made, just like every other debate you've ever had on this site. i wouldn't be surprised if the vegetarian thread starts turning into a thread about 2pac soon

If that had been a Project Pat line, I guarantee you Pensmoke's response would've been totally different. LOL.

When you don't cast judgement you are able to hold your head high. I pride myself on that, so sue me.

Laugh all you want, you still haven't expressed your thoughts on the topic at hand. Until then, you will just be another side-busting poster with no solid foundation to stand on.

Co-sign. I been said agree to disagree. Do you want me to stop replying to posts? It's your thread, if you give the word I'll respect it.

He recorded the song though, didn't he? Also; way to ignore my point and reply with something irrelevant.

The word "bitch" is a derogative term about a woman, "broad" is flattering? He's talking about women in a demeaning way if you really want to go there, I'm not feminist but you asked about a song talking about bitches. Jeru the Damaja also has some, does that make him a gangsta rapper? Matter of fact, his first track about bitches was called "Da Bichez" and the second one "Me or the Papes".

You never specified that he had to make a whole song dedicated to weed, I hope you're not setting a double standard for your own favorites.

It depends on how you perceive it and you seem to perceive any little thing about that subject to be glorifying it. If an emcee talks about it / acknowledges it does that make him a gangsta rapper? He didn't clarify what the "heat" was. And some people "speak with their hands in dangerous ways" - Royce. Don't be a sheep, you know as well as I do that he could have been talking about speaking with his 'heat'. As in, without words, communication doesn't have to involve these.

I hadn't read your post prior to me posting this Pen but this would be my reply to it, I'm not here to argue that Jeru or Rakim is a gangsta rapper, I was merely making a point.
