About
Wyandanch, Long Island. William Michael Griffin Jr. Eric B. & Rakim. 'Paid in Full' (1987) is foundational text — the most lyrically sophisticated rap album of its decade and the document that effectively rewrote what an MC could do with internal rhyme, breath control and double-and-triple-syllable patterning. 'Follow the Leader' (1988), 'Let the Rhythm Hit 'Em,' 'Don't Sweat the Technique.' Most lyrically influential MC of all time, by general consensus, and the technical bar-setter for every rapper who came after.
