Thank you, this is something I've been meaning to come back to. I've restored an older version from right before when this appeared to change focus. It looks like, for other editors who are interested, this originated here, and was never reverted. – Broccoli & Coffee ^{(Oh hai)} 20:02, 19 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Eminem reference

Shouldn't we mention that Eminem references Lakim Shabazz in his song "Rap God," as follows?:

Me? I'm a product of Rakim

Lakim Shabazz, 2Pac, N.W.A, Cube, hey Doc, Ren

Yella, Eazy, thank you, they got Slim

Inspired enough to one day grow up, blow up and be in a position

To meet Run-D.M.C., induct them

Into the motherfuckin' Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
