Rakim has always been known for his laid-back flow and, accordingly, he never pushes himself on The Master, released 25 years ago today. His flow is smooth as syrup, and will undoubtedly make hip-hop fans realize just what rhythm is after merely a few tracks. He plays with internal rhymes (one of his trademarks) and constructs the most dense lyrics heard in hip-hop for years.
