"Rah-kim." He says it in just about every song - "Rakim gets stronger/as I get older" in "I Know You Got Soul," for example. | Keithlaw 02:47, 13 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It is pronounced as "rah-kim" is he muslim?? Yes he is

He changed the way that every emcee rhymed on the mic. He brought fluidity and substance to rhyme writing. -S.toure'

In raw talent he is the most skilled emcee (Move the Crowd) to ever live

Muslim

where does it say on the VH1 page that he is muslim? It says "that he puts his Islamic Belief in songs", b.u.t. they probably mixed Islam up with The Nation of Gods and Earths. --72.199.153.17 04:40, 1 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

VH1 never talks about the religion of the artists but in the song "Move the crowd" he says "Allah who I prays to the fullest and thats a blessin". In the album the 18th letter he commonly talks about Allah, Mecca, the Choron ie "It even says we are gods in the holy Choron" or "Bring up praise from mecca, make a phrase for the better In new days to remember, always and forever "."From the mind which is one of allah's best designs"

 So obviously he is muslim.
