DUBCC - Tha Connection > Outbound Connection
did any of you listen to rakim before he joined aftermath?
=[Euthanasia]=:
I was too young to listen to him when he came out with Eric. B, but ever since I become a proper follower of hip-hop it was natural to catch onto their work, like may others of their time. I think it was the "Juice" soundtrack that got me into them properly though, and then "The 18th Letter" and "Book Of Life" album/s came about in '97.
On The Edge of Insanity:
I wasn't around for the Eric B and Rakim albums when they first came out, and I somehow missed on 18th Letter when that was released. However, the moment I first heard When I B On The Mic on the radio I knew that this guy was gonna be one of my all time favourites. I have since bought The Master, and then I got the version of 18th Letter with the Eric B and Rakim Greatest Hits packaged with it, which was all dopeness, although some of the Master is a bit average. I plan to get each of the individual Eric B and Rakim albums somewhen, and I will definately be buying Oh My God when it drops even though I am a bit worried about Dre doing the majority of the production simply because his previous attempts at New York grimy style beats (The Firm, some of those 50 Cent joints) haven't exactly been amazing, as for me production by DJ Premier, Large Professor, Alchemist, Pete Rock etc would have made for a better album that what I think we are going to get.
