One of the Best
, May 17, 2006Reviewer: browns10924 - See all browns10924's reviewsPros: Lyrics, Old School Beats, Eric B. and Rakim
Cons: There are NONE!
one of the greatest albums of all time. It's up their with Illmatic, Ready to Die and Criminal Minded. Any Rap or Hip Hop fan that doesn't have this in their collection can't be considered a serious fan. Rakim's delivery is smooth and his lyrics are as good as anyone's. Eric B. is "on the cut" and he shows why he is one of the greatest of all time. GO GET THIS!

Pro Reviews: Paid in Full
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews One of the most influential rap albums of all time, Eric B. Rakim's Paid in Full only continues to grow in stature as the record that ushered in hiphop's modern era. The strippeddown production might seem a little bare to modern ears, but Rakim's technique on the mic still sounds utterly contemporary, even stateoftheart and that from a record released in 1987, just one year after RunD.M.C. hit the mainstream. Rakim basically invents modern lyrical technique over the course of Paid in Full, with his complex internal rhymes, literate imagery, velvetsmooth flow, and unpredictable, offthebeat rhythms. The key cuts here are some of the most legendary rap singles ever released, starting with the duo's debut sides, "Eric B. Is President" and "My Melody." "I Know You Got Soul" singlehandedly kicked off hiphop's infatuation with James Brown samples, and Eric B. Rakim topped it with the similarly inclined "I Ain't No Joke," a stunning display of lyrical virtuosity. The title cut, meanwhile, planted the seeds of hiphop's material obsessions over a monumental beat. There are also three DJ showcases for Eric B., who like Rakim was among the technical leaders in his field. If sampling is the sincerest form of admiration in hiphop, Paid in Full is positively worshipped. Just to name a few: Rakim's tossedoff "pump up the volume," from "I Know You Got Soul," became the basis for M/A/R/R/S' groundbreaking dance track; Eminem, a devoted Rakim student, lifted lines from "As the Rhyme Goes On" for the chorus of his own "The Way I Am"; and the percussion track of "Paid in Full" has been sampled so many times it's almost impossible to believe it had a point of origin. Paid in Full is essential listening for anyone even remotely interested in the basic musical foundations of hiphop this is the form in its purest essence. - Steve Huey, All Music Guide |
