The forecast predicted rain in the afternoon but the weatherman didn’t even know that the reign would not fall as long as thousands of Hip-Hop fans came out to show their support.
The god MC Rakim would grace NYC with a free performance at the Rumsey Playfield SummerStage and bring out some of his friends to rock the stage along with the greatest rapper of all time.
Rakim is a lyrical scientist who crafts verses filled with double entendre and polysyllabic words. I will never forget how Thundercracker used to transcribe Rakim verses and just marvel at the wordplay which made him open a dictionary to achieve full comprehension.
Rakim paced the stage from left to right making sure everyone saw the visage of your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper. This was his triumphant moment in the heart of New York City.
The congregation raised their hands in salutes and tributes to what ended up being a perfect sunshower afternoon filled with Hip-Hop.
The fun doesn’t stop over here at dP.com because I have a free FLuD watch for the first person who can name all the dudes in these pics with me.
