Rakim is threatening to give MC Serch a knockout punch over some accusations nearly ghost writing.

In an interview with Shade 45 this week, the legendary hip-hop icon Rakim responded to comments from interviewer Lord Sear near MC Serch's ghostwriting claims, saying he will knock Serch "the f**k out" for suggesting he once wrote for the God Emcee. The statement in question was taken from an interview with MC Serch featured on Vlad Idiot box terminal year. It seems Rakim was learning nigh the comments for the first fourth dimension during his almost recent interview on his volume tour for his memoir and writing guide, Sweat the Technique.

Rakim may have been caught off guard by the accusation and responded without knowing the full context of Serch's and then-called ghostwriting claims.

In the Vlad TV interview, MC Serch claims Lyor Cohen, an industry executive at the time, chosen Serch to ask for help. Cohen described Rakim as having writer'south block and asked for the immature rapper to send fresh lyrics their way. Co-ordinate to Serch, when Eric B., Rakim's music partner, caught wind of the request, he shut information technology down immediately and never spoke to MC Serch again. During the telling of this story, Serch repeatedly expressed his awe and admiration for the legendary Rakim and explained that having the chance to write for him was the highlight of his career, even if the bargain never came to fruition.

Lord Sear may have been trying to instigate beefiness when bringing upwardly the Serch story to Rakim, and MC Serch is at present calling Sear out on his shady interviewing style. Serch responded to Rakim's comments on his Instagram, saying, "Lord Sear, for you to tell f*ckin' Rakim that I wrote a rhyme for him — yo, f*ck you Sear. Trying to get f*ckin', some little f*ckin' shine for your bullsh*t ass show."

Serch is at present asking for a retraction from Shade 45 for inaccurately portraying him to his self-professed hero. Links to the original interview with Vlad Tv, the interview with Rakim, and MC Serch'due south Instagram response are posted below!
