Set to chunky beats, tight scratching, and heavy synth-bass, Queens emcee Rakim delivered a flurry of now-classic rhymes. Their debut album <i>Paid In Full</i> (1987) continued the onslaught of deadly serious lyricism and air-tight beats, fast establishing them as one of the most respected and influential groups out. Their sophomore LP <i>Follow The Leader</i> (1988) was another undisputed classic, packed with hits like "I Ain't No Joke" and "Microphone Fiend." They released two more solid albums, and parted ways in the early '90s. Their latter-day singles include "Casualties Of War" and "Juice (Know The Ledge)." Among the most influential groups in the history of hip-hop, they popularized James Brown drum loops and complex rhyme schemes alike. Rakim released two solo albums in '97 and '99. - Brolin WinningEast Coast Old Schoolen720Thu, 26 Nov 2009 08:08:22 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.61530&rws=%2Feric-b-and-rakim%2Ftop-tracks.rss N.Y.C.'s groundbreaking duo Eric B and Rakim turned the rap world on its ear with their first single, "Eric B Is President," released in 1986.
