Rakim recently shared his favorite verse. The man considered by many to be the greatest emcee of all time selected his classic 1992 track "The Punisher" from the Eric B. & Rakim album Don't Sweat the Technique as his brightest moment as a lyricist.
“My favorite song might be ‘The Punisher’ that I did," he told Soul Culture TV. "My favorite verse might be, ‘Go manufacture a mask show me after / A glass of a master that has to make musical massacres.’”
“Four bars, two bars right there at that time was kind of like a new style to pop off," Rakim explained. "And for some reason, it was just one of those things that I always felt like ‘Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that’s it right there.’ At certain times, I might feel a different verse or different joint, but coming up, I just remember all the time that couple of bars. I don’t want to be rude, but it kind of made my joint hard.”
