Reviews Customer Reviews for 20th Century Masters The Millennium Collection The Best Of Eric B And Rakim      When only the best will do!      Rating:      This is simply the best rap group/duo that caught my attention back in the 80's when whole rap genre began. The clean lyrics of free flowing rhymes made it easy to listen to during those late night 'cruising' sessions we all remember. Add it your catalog and enjoy it all over again.     Customer Reviews for 20th Century Masters The Millennium Collection The Best Of Eric B And Rakim Cd      This is how it should be done................................................      Rating:      ...Cause this best of cd is identical to none! Back in the days when graffiti and breakdancing was rampant and guys rocked fades with gaudy gold chains around their necks and walked up to women with breathe that reeked of backed up septic tanks(and they wonder why they never got a number!), there was the baddest duo that hip hop has ever seen. Eric B The DJ and Rakim the god MC. If any group made you want to be in New York to experience hip hop,it had to be Eric B and Rakim. I can only imagine what the reactions of the clubs were like back then when DJs played I Know You Got Soul and Eric B Is President(back when DJs played real hip hop and not this gay-bay-bay s*** they're playing now!). Rakim giving it to you raw and uncut with his execellent delivery while Eric B compliments his rhymes with funky production and the wicked scratching. All the hits are here like I Aint No Joke, Lyrics Of Fury, Microphone Fiend, Let The Ryhthm Hit Em, In The Ghetto, Follow The Leader and the classic Paid In Full(The Coldcut mix). Rappers still sample Rakim's rhymes till this day. Samples: /I came in the door/ I said It before/(how many rappers you know took that? Dont front!) /I was a fiend before I became a teen/(Dont front. You know you heard that before). I could go on. Bottom Line: the 20th Century Masters did a great job with this best of cd and any fan of Rakim would do well with this best of album as well as their albums. My only gripe is that Dont Sweat The Technique is not on here but other than that I cant complain. It was still a great collection. Standout Tracks: I KNOW YOU GOT SOUL, ERIC B IS PRESIDENT, I AINT NO JOKE, PAID IN FULL, FOLLOW THE LEADER, LYRICS OF FURY, THE PUNISHER, KNOW THE LEDGE and the rest of this best of album!
