Not the best display of turntablism by Rakim but I’m sure all of us will give him a pass. Still dope though.

Eric B. and Rakim Launch New Website

Ming-Tzu — Sun, 22 Mar 2009 18:21:31 +0000

Actually, Eric B. seems like the person behind this but let’s hope Rakim gets on board also. Site is looking fresh regardless. Seems like a lot of sites nowadays coming with their own TV category. Wonder who started that trend. Link
