[BOX5 the best poster on this site yell]

honestly i don't like the whole album, follow the leader,microphone fiend,da r, and lyrics of fury was alright but i swear that album as a whole was fucc'n overrated, as well as that don't sweat the technique album, that shit only had 3 knot joints on it too, rakim had lyrics for days but that equal could be boring as fucc alot of times  yell

I can agree with what you said about Follow The Leader, besides the joints you mentioned I really couldn't get into that LP.But Don't Sweat The Technique is probably my favorite album from them, shit was knocking.You couldn't go wrong with a whole album produced by Large Professor back then (yes, he produced it, Eric B took credit.Large Pro is listed as an engineer/programmer though)

[white Boy]

[theremedy360]

It was a good album but not up to the group's standard yell

I have to be real with u...i brought the tapes,and thought the same thing..those tracks u named helped carry those lps.

Great album. Paid In Full is the quintessential effort by them of course but this album has a lot of classics on it. Surprised to see anyone in hip-hop say any different really, but to each their own.

Minus paid in full, I like follow the leader's singles more, but as an entire LP it's not comparable imo

i gotta disagree with you on this one my equal, just because you wouldn't skip those songs don't mean they was all good, cause i did a whole lot of skip'n on some eric b and rakim albums,and i thought ra was ahead of everybody lyrically during his prime i just didn't think all of his songs was classic like that, and who knows it's some people now who feel all gucci's shit bang to them, i think 86-89 era was better then today,but i'll be lying if i said it wasn't wacc shit bacc then too,even from some of my favorite artist yell
