Report it using the red 'report' link under the Rakim video.

freshsly said on Sunday, 17 April 2011:
James Brown produced "Pass The Peas" but not "I Ain't No Joke", it was produced by Eric B & Rakim, needs to be fixed, also the main genre for "I Ain't no Joke" isn't soul/funk/disco as listed, it's hip-hop.
