Rakim spent 40 years in hip hop without a single Grammy nomination.

Not one. Zero. The man Eminem called "probably the greatest rapper of all time" was never even considered.

On May 8, 2026, that finally changed. Paid In Full was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles. Thirty eight years after the album that permanently changed how every rapper writes, delivers and thinks about lyricism.

Before Rakim, rappers rhymed at the end of lines. He changed that. Internal rhyme schemes, multi-syllable patterns, a cold and untouchable delivery nobody had heard before.

The Grammy Hall of Fame is not a Grammy. But after 40 years, it is recognition.

The God MC finally got his flowers.
Shot Out to William Michael Griffin AKA Rakim Allah 😎😎😁😁

@hlovo_ It definitely is. T.I is that guy

[Mshengu @Originator_SA]

@Beautifulesta_ @whatuplakerss He was “living it big” in the UK on Jazz O’s recording budget. These things are well documented

@hlovo_ For real

@Kay_beeeh This is what I gathered listening to the audio. I don’t blame the husband at all

[Mshengu @Originator_SA]

@BassieBuzzing @ChrisExcel102 That’s still a freestyle. There are 2 types of freestyle. Off the top, which means made up on the spot and scripted, that just doesn’t follow any particular format, no bar count, no standard flow or melody, just raps

[NFR Podcast @nfr_podcast]

You’re welcome.

@ThisIsColbert There’s difference between bars and wordplay. A bar is simply put, a memorable or impactful line. Wordplay would then be double entendres, name flips etc…

You were fine when apartheid locked opportunities away from millions, but now that policies open doors for the excluded, you call it “oppression.”

“Genocide and Ethnic Cleansing of Afrikaners” in South Africa

Well if that is the human rights cause of “our” lifetime, let’s make sure that ALL white Afrikaner victims of “genocide and ethnic cleansing” count.

NB!! Seen as we can’t tell what language a person speaks just by looking at them, I will only list victims that have Afrikaans sounding names and victims that are white. Because of the scale of this “cause” it will be an ongoing project.

We will start with ongoing court cases, in no particular order:

Anton Bouwer allegedly murdered his elderly parents, Bettie (73) and Barry Bouwer (78). step-daughter, Natasha Bouwer (22), and domestic worker, Elizabeth Mahlangu (55) (I know Elizabeth won’t count in this ethnic cleansing cause but she matters to me) in January 2024. Bouwer shot his wife, Adelle, but she survived. He is also being investigated for the murder of his brother, Robbie Bouwer, in 2011.

* Robbie Bouwer’s name was circulated on a White Genocide list
previously - so don’t double count.
