that was cute in the recent Lord Sear interview when Rakim shared some bars he took out of Let the Rhythm Hit Em for Kane but those who were paying attention back in those days know what was goin' on... (certain things capitalized and emphasized for the slow folks below)
Kane on Set It Off-"The RAP SOLOIST/ you don’t want none of this/ save the bass for the pipe and rearrange your tone/ or take a loss and be forced in the danger zone"
Rakim on Follow the Leader-"“No need to speed/ slow down and let the leader lead....word to DADDY, indeed! /The R’s a rollin' stone, so I’m rollin"/ directions is told, then the rhymes are stolen
stop buggin', a brother said, dig 'em, I never dug 'em
he couldn’t follow the leader long enough so I drug 'em
into danger zone, he should arrange his own
face it, it’s basic, erase it, change ya tone”
And on the song Hypnotic posted above,"“I don’t sniff no ‘caine (Kane) to get RAW ( a play on Ra's name, as well as the title of a Kane song)
