Book Review: Sweat the Technique

“With wisdom which means wise words being spoken.“- My Melody

Stars: 4/5

Part memoir, part deconstruction of the genius behind the creative process that produced many of the greatest rap songs of the late eighties and early nineties. Rakim, The God MC, grants us entry into his inner sanctum where he reveals his methodology that is founded on five pillars of creativity: Purpose, Inspiration, Spirituality, Consciousness and Energy. The seemingly innate ability to recall and rap along to many of Rakim’s songs should be proof that Nobody Beats The R when it comes to lyrical construction & content; never to be relegated to the record crate of bygone music.
