Rakim was the microphone fiend who was dripping steam. Eric B. was the DJ with the James Brown samples. They were local legends before ever releasing a song ("Eric B. was driving a Rolls-Royce before he ever put out a record," Chris Rock once told ROLLING STONE. "My man was gangsta"), but this cut let the whole world know it was time to pump up the volume.
