Rakim - The 18th Letter: Book of Life (1997)

rakim has always been the forgotten son of hip hop...... people to this day in hip hop sample his songs,lyrics and flow... this album is a favorite for me cuz through all the drama of biggie and pac dying in 96-97... Rakim came from nowhere with an album that brought everything back to what hip hop is all about....
