Rakim - Gods Network Rebirth: The Instrumental [LP]

"Rakim is an American rapper best known as one half of the legendary rap duo Eric B. & Rakim. Rakim is considered a transformative figure in hip hop for raising the bar for MC technique higher than it had ever been. Rakim helped to pioneer the use of internal rhymes and multisyllabic rhymes, and he was among the first to demonstrate the possibilities of sitting down to write intricately crafted lyrics packed with clever word choices and metaphors rather than the more improvisational styles and simpler rhyme patterns that predominated before him. Rakim is also credited with creating the overall shift from the more simplistic old school flows to more complex flows. Rapper Kool Moe Dee explained that before Rakim the term "flow" wasn't widely used -- Rakim is basically the inventor of flow."
