Since "Guess Who's Back" and The 18th Letter.
-
I bought Let The Rhythm Hit 'Em after I saw it as a 5 Mic album in the 100th issue of The Source. I bought 18th Letter after that. Never a huge fan but respect and understand why he is considered the greatest although I prefer KRS.
-
I've been listening every since Paid In Full. That was deffinitly a classic.
-
I been a fan since 97 when I came across an Eric B and Rakims greatest hits cd on the web. Dope cd.
-
i did. thats why i was dissapointed to hear he joined aftermath.
ra & premo>>>ra & dre anyday.

Why would you be disapointed? Premo only did like two tracks on each of his last two albums and that's what he'll probably do on this one. If he didn't sign to Aftermath there wouldn't be a full Ra/Prime album.

i don't want to hear him rap over shitty leftovers like he gave em and 50.
-
Nope, but I am glad Dre brought him to my full attention tho when he signed him.

i had always heard Eric B and Rakim...but they never appealed to me...18th Letter was probably the first time i ever really listened to Rakim...
-
i had heard his shit but never got into him......when i heard that he signed to aftermath im jumped on him and downloaded all his shit......now i like him alot........and i think this new album is gonna be a classic.......and to who ever said dre gives shitty leftovers to 50 and eminem.....that stuff they get is better that most beats out there......so ill take dres shitty leftover beats anyday.......but this is Rakim and there is no shitty leftovers here he gonna make sure its a classic and its tight......
-
nope, I'm a sweaty dick ryder
-
paid in full was before my time..I first got into him when i got the 18th letter
-
Of course I did. You're not the only person who knows about rap.
-
yep, ive listened to him from the get-go with Eric B.
-
since i got into hip-hop around '90-91... although i didn't hear a full album of his until about 93-94 (which goes for a lot of people... it was hard to get stuff up here until Dre and Snoop blew up..)... now happily own the full collection... one of my favorites...
-
Nope, i never heard of him until i saw he was signed to aftermath. i've downloaded a few of his songs since then, and i've read up on him. i am impressed. now that dre is his producer, i can't wait till his album drops
-
No, I didn't listen to Rakim much before he signed to Aftermath... I had heard some of his biggest songs like "Paid In Full" and the like, but I wasn't much into him. After he joined Aftermath I started downloading more of his earlier work, and it was quite impressive... I'm still not a huge fan, but I will definitely buy Oh My God when it drops.
-
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.
-
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.
