My God, the Philaflava Forum is such a great place! What started as a single person posting a link to 3 volumes of Rakim material has turned in to a monster project. So far I have finished 6 volumes on my own and probably have an additional 6 to come. Most of the tracks came from various rips I have collected over the years. Shouts to musiclover123 for compiling the initial 3 volumes and to truthaddict for posting about it. Special thanks to Roy Johnson, Step One and DJ Mike Nice for posting more tracks from the vaults and spending time to rips their vinyls.
There will be some remixes & mash-ups in here that people are going to hate, but there are also plenty of great surprises. If you don't like it, don't download it. This is my attempt to get EVERYTHING in one place. If you have something to add, please leave a comment or add on to the thread in the forum.
The original 3 volumes can be downloaded HERE.

Great work here.....I'm pretty sure I know which are offical mix's & which aren't but it could be helpful to others with a (*) or symbol to show the difference. Either way it's MUCH appreciated.
ReplyDeleteGreat post and presumably some great work for one self ahead to distuingish a best of the best of the rest, hahaha! Tracks with names like So So Def somewhere in the title, will often just agree to be played once, then beg to be destroyed.;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link for the original post as well, missed that one first time around.
