 Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Paid In Full - Eric B. & Rakim at Epinions.com
Rakim and Eric B's album is the true image of the Old School that is missing from pretty much all of today's music.
Rakim is like an 80's version of Canibus here, a rapper who can spit a whole album's worth of bragging without it getting absolutely boring.
While the beats aren't necessarily complicated, and the lyrics aren't exactly mind-blowing, the fact that this was done over a decade before the likes of 9th Wonder and Canibus and it still is a great album shows their impact on the advancement of hip-hop.

 Rakim--Long Live The King
Rakim got his first start in the record biz in 1986.
There are so many Rakim classics out there, but he says his favorite songs are the more underground tracks, the less accessible stuff like "The Punisher" and "Lyrics of Fury." Each album represents a different state of mind, Rakim says.
Analyzing Rakim's lyrics could be a semester-long course.

 PopMatters Music Feature . . . And Bless the Mic for the Gods: Rakim Allah
The best example of Rakim's impact, though, is the title track to Paid in Full, which became an international dance hit, courtesy of the "Seven Minutes of Madness" remix by Cold Cut, which featured vocals by the late Israeli songstress Ofra Haza.
The 12-inch's status as the most danceable hip-hop recording of the year seemed to suit Rakim fine, as so many of his lyrics envision a man totally mesmerized with the idea of "Moving the Crowd".
When "Eric B is President/My Melody" dropped in the summer of 1986, it quickly became the "Wop" anthem of the year (the "Wop" was a popular social dance among black collegians and others in 1986).

Rakim emerges from the darkness with his new release 'The 17th Letter' (R), along with a set of some of the biggest producers in Hip-Hop, Clark Kent, arguably the best producer today in DJ Premier, and Pete Rock.
For those of you who don't know, Rakim is one of the, if not THE best lyricist ever to hold a microphone in his grasp.
He ends the album with 'If people remember my words they'll remember me forever', I'm sure those Paid In Full lines are still in peoples heads, but I don't think this album will be the one he's most remembered for.

 Eric B & Rakim: Paid in Full / Follow the Leader: Pitchfork Review
Rakim's innovation was applying a patina of intellectual detachment to rap's most sacred cause: talking shit about how you're a better rapper than everyone else.
The title track fleshes out Rakim's metaphorical conceit via hellish high-speed-chase music.
Both of these albums contain too much filler to get a free "classic" pass, but the highs of Follow the Leader are as high as any rap group has gotten.

Rakim just tears it up on his lyrics, which are intelligent, and done in a cool way.
I noticed a few things while listening to this, alot of Rakim's lyrics I have heard from other artists over the years, and every track ends with extended instrumentals.

It's so 1988!), silly stuff like the great Rahzel cameo in "It's a Must," and gritty stuff like "Waiting for the World to End," in which Rakim steps outside his own skin to narrate the story of a kid in a broken and wasted world who just might be saved by - what else?

Rakim at his best is still easily in hip-hop's top 20, but at his worst he tries to get "jiggy" on cuts like "All Night Long" which are totally wrong for one of the most respected veterans to ever wield a microphone and spit lyrics.
Fortunately for both hip-hop and the listener, Rakim doesn't play himself COMPLETELY out of position.

 Reviews: Rakim
As close to a diety as hip-hop has, Rakim’s lyrical dexterity and bottomless well of a vocabulary remains unparallelled more than 20 years after he and Eric B. let the rhythm hit ‘em.
And Rakim doesn’t sound right pillow-talking ("I’ll Be There") or addressing club life ("All Night Long").
Created largely by Rakim, Clark Kent, Gang Starr’s DJ Premier and 45 King (with guest turns by Rahzel and Canibus), The Master seems geared toward testifying to Rakim’s place in the hip-hop hierarchy with contemporary production values that wouldn’t sound out of place on any other modern day chartclimber’s joint.
