New Rakim for y’all stanking asses. Is it me, or did a certain good doctor produce this for him? SHAKE UPDATE: The production is Needlz’ doing, and the hook is provided by Tracey Horton. Great track all around.

Im not ready for this
my taste in music just went sour
^what?…very nice stuff
this is DOPE!
is it just me or did maino remind me of 2pac on this track? haha
aahhhhh shit
FUCKIN FIRE.
o shit.
i dont think it is dre. if it is im surpised.
i didnt see any dre credits when the prod credits leaked
dope tune. but its a needlz beat.
Rakim and Maino this is sick Maino may not b the best lyricist but he speaks on real shit
I think Neddlez is the credited Prod for this track
kinda going away from this because it has maino but fuck it i’ll listen
skippin to only hear rakim less maino’s ass be on the hook
*jaw drops*
this sounds nothin like dre lol its def needlz
maino is sick on this.
just heard rakims verses and the hook it’s not bad kinda wish rakim wouldn’t start on the “haters” bullshit for his new album. looking forward to the seventh seal tho
No, it’s not the Doctor, but it’s still D-R-E
This went hard imo
‘I Walk These Streets’ (produced by Needlz): Probably the album’s clanger, not so much because Needlz’s beat uses either the same or a startlingly similar sample to Busta Rhymes’s ‘Been Through The Storm’, but because the inclusion of Akon on the hook – and maybe the second verse – just doesn’t seem to make any sense, stylistically or in terms of the end product. Possible addition: Maino may be drafted in to spit 16 bars on the second verse if Akon can’t send over his vocals in time.
Shocked to see maino on it.
Ugh…
Rakim should just rhyme to drum breaks.
By himself.
^^^^ agreeeeed…..still top 5 d.o.a. though……right under pac.
Is it just me, or does Rakim’s voice sound a little higher? where is the raspy, grimey voice? and whats with fruity hooks these days?
nah i can def see why you would think dre would have a hand in this beat
I think Maino deserves more credit. I agree, he’s by no means a great lyricist or even a big hitmaker, but he gets it done and there is something real about him that I just don’t get from any of these other hood rappers
The track was decent, not that great, but I do agree Rakims voice didnt really sound like it normally does
“lyrical murderer blame Rakim,
im a sniper shootin my way into ya lame top 10,
pistol at yo head if i aint next to eminem,
then i bust in yo face like im fuckin little kim..”
[...] was caught over at 2DopeBoyz, who say: The production is Needlz’ doing, and the hook is provided by Tracey Horton. Great track [...]

i thought it was ok. i’m expecting better, from the album, really. i want to hear more intricate rhyme schemes, a la “LYRICS OF FURY”.
Is there ever a trackk, that the kid from Bed Sty put out that doesnt bang. Not sure who the other dood is, but Maino brings the H.E.A.T..
Anyone else get a chance to listen to Maino’s recent mixtape….cuz its Fyre
This record is cool. I mean, it has a little more polish than the “Holy Are You” joint and hopefully it will bring more people out to support the album that otherwise wouldn’t. Ra’s performance at A3C was really dope, too. Thanks and GOD BLESS. Peace

Damn, this bangs just as much as that Holy Are You track. 2 for 2 in the very hot songs department for this album, the God MC has truly returned. Whoever made the comment up there about Rakim’s voice, yeahh it sounds considerably higher on this track, it took me a moment to even realise it was him rhyming.
Beat is sick
