Rakim Thanks Kendrick Lamar For Shoutout On New Clipse Album
Kendrick Lamar rapped about half his profits going to Rakim on the Clipse "Let God Sort Em Out" cut, "Chains & Whips."
Rakim is arguably the foundation of so many of hip-hop's key elements today, and Kendrick Lamar knows that well. He included a nod to The God MC on his highly anticipated "Chains & Whips" feature off of the new Clipse album, the also buzzed-about Let God Sort Em Out.
"Let's be clear, hip-hop died again / Half of my profits may go to Rakim," K.Dot rapped on the cut. As caught by Complex, the New York legend reacted to this mention on Instagram on Saturday (July 12), thanking and congratulating the Compton lyricist.
