Episode 42: Eric B. & Rakim

This week we discuss the wordy and innovative Eric B. & Rakim. These guys made some extremely gnarly hip-hop during the late 80s and early 90s that paved the way for groups like the Wu-Tang Clan. Influential, awesome, and we had a great time dissecting each album. Closing track: "Don't Sweat the Technique" from Don't Sweat the Technique (1992) Check out our episode playlists on Spotify! https://open.spotify.com/user/motherpuncherinc Mike's Picks: Follow the Leader (1988) — Best Album, Personal Favorite Paid in Full (1987) — Worst Album Alex's Picks: Follow the Leader (1988) — Best Album Paid in Full (1987) — Personal Favorite Let the Rhythm Hit 'Em (1990) — Worst Album Albums we discussed this episode… Paid in Full (1987) Follow the Leader (1988) Let the Rhythm Hit 'Em (1990) Don't Sweat the Technique (1992) Follow Mike on Instagram @popejesseventura for show updates and @pandermonkey for original music Follow Alex on Instagram @motherpuncher
