Artist: Eric B and Rakim
Album: Let The Rhythm Hit `Em
Review: There's nothing trendy about this impassive duo, no Steely Dan bites or bits of Afrodelic rhetoric here. Eric B. and Rakim are hip-hop formalists devoted to upholding the Seventies funk canon and advancing rap's original verbal mandate. Almost every track on their third album is built on poetic boasts and wicked J.B. samples, but dismissing Let the Rhythm Hit 'Em as some sort of conservative...

Artist: Eric B and Rakim
Album: Don't Sweat The Technique
Review: The music Eric B. and Rakim make kicks because it sneaks into the ear like careless whispers before exploding on the brain like dynamite. Eric B.'s tracks are mellow and mean, while Rakim's lyrics are at once eloquent and threatening. Describing his inimitable style in the classic track "I Got Soul," from Paid in Full (1987), Rakim roared, "I can take a phrase that's rarely heard/Flip it-now it's...

Artist: Eric B and Rakim
Album: Follow The Leader
Review: On Follow The Leader, Eric B. and Rakim's second album, Rakim (a.k.a. William Griffin) spends too much time trashing other rappers and reasserting his supremacy in the genre. Still, he has a point. Set to a menacing bass throb, spooky special effects and Rakim's rush of rhymes, the title track more than lives up to the high standard set by "Paid in Full," the duo's powerful '87 single.
