  Jack Feeny reviews: Eric B and Rakim
Eric B's DJ style is highly reductive, with the slimmest of samples inserted over the trebly break-beat, but this only seeks to brilliantly highlight the skills of his partner, whose highly verbose and ingenious wordplay is widely credited as being the most influential in the history of hip hop.
Rakim may be the greatest MC to ever lay his rhymes to tape but it is the explosion of sophistication from Eric B that really sets this album apart and exhorts the newly born upstarts to follow their lead.
Eric B and Rakim were the best, they knew it, and the resulting album is a work of art that is brimming with such self-acknowledged greatness that its pleasures are almost pornographic.

Rakim comes on the mic and simply rips it apart, giving us a song about his opinion on hip-hop music and how it should be handled with care.
Rakim is much calmer, but still poses a threat to his peers, and fitting nicely with his slow, melodic flow is the slow, minimalistic beat.
Eric B. and Rakim proved that they were a critical success and seemingly untouchable on Paid in Full indeed, but with Follow the Leader, the duo cemented their presence in hip-hop as not only pioneers, but two artists who you don't want to fuck with.

Rakim's verses on the album's first three tracks ("Follow the Leader," "Microphone Fiend," and "Lyrics of Fury") are the stuff of hip-hop legend, and the subject matter rarely strays from the swaggering, chest-thumping template of these three classics.
Eric B delivers great production which is less dated sounding than his "Paid In Full" work (see "Follow The Leader" for an example) - mainstream rap fans will have a better chance liking this one than their debut.
Rakim is the greatest MC of all time!(my opinion of course) This is one of the dopest Eric B & him ever put together.

 Eric B. & Rakim : Follow the Leader - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Having already revolutionized hip-hop, Eric B. & Rakim came up with a second straight classic in their sophomore album, Follow the Leader, which basically follows the same blueprint for greatness, albeit with subtle refinements.
For his part, Rakim wasn't crowned the greatest MC of all time for the variety of his lyrical content, and Follow the Leader is no different.
And, of course, there are several more turntable features for Eric B. Follow the Leader may not have broken much new ground, but it captures one of the greatest pure hip-hop acts at the top of its form, and that's enough to make the album a classic.

Originally issued on Uni via MCA in 1988 as soon as 'Rakim will say' from the the classic title drops the crowd goes apesh*t, same then, same now.
'Eric B. Never Scared' is another of the weird off-beat scratch numbers Eric dropped on these early albums.

Rakim's status as a lyricist is unquestioned, and Eric B's beatmaking skills were at their peak here.
Rakim's freestyles are great, and he would take time for progressive talk & social commentary, never succumbing to gangster-rap cliches.
For a group that never really had crossover success (unless you count the fact that the "Paid in Full" breakbeat showed up in any number of pop records), I'm glad that Universal/Chronicles is taking the time out to explore their hip-hop catalog and expose these pioneering releases to new audiences and old ones alike.

New York team who met in 1985 and have gone on to become an important duo in Rap's short history.
Their debut album, PAID IN FULL, caused great legal waves via its explicit use of samples (Eric B is often credited with putting the funk back into rap music via his James Brown signatures).
Rakim was responsible for introducing a more relaxed, intuitive delivery which was a distinct advance on the thumping bravado of Run DMC and LL Cool J, and is best sampled on this influential and instructive album.
