Classic album. My favorite songs are I Ain't No Joke, My Melody, You Know I Got Soul, Move The Crowd, Paid In Full, Eric B Is President. After this album, their next 3 albums Follow The Leader, Let The Rhythm Hit Em, Don't Sweat The Technique were mediocore. Even Rakim's 2 solo albums The 18th Letter & The Master are mediocore. He signed with Aftermath records about 2 years ago & the label played him by not releasing a album by him. I heard he still wants to make another album but we'll see what happens. I'm not expecting another album from him but if he does come out with one, i'll be surprised.

What can I say? Rakim is the man. Nas, Jay-Z, and the rest of them have to go back to this man. The best MC of alll time. I have to get this again.
