Just realized this... that tapping in the background that makes the song "Running" so dope.... I just realized he could have easily been inspired by the production on "Don't Sweat the Technique". The same sound is used. Damn, Erik B. and Rakim, everytime you listen to them you notice another element of their music or lyrics that has since been used by one of today's artists. It's all dope though, so it's all good with me.The last three songs on Rakim's album are straight fire.... "Jiuce"- Know-the-ledge, the same song from the 2pac movie, then "Sweat the Technique".. then Rakim absolutely kills it on the last track "Kick A Long" the beat is so fast, he just goes off!!!!!There's a lot of Islamic influence as well, on Juice he gives props to Iran's 1979' Islamic revolution leader Ayotallah Khomeni, and then on another track he talks about going to Iraq for the Gulf War and switching sides to join his Asiatic Muslim brothers who "pray the same way".
do these posts get edited by a mod? the last statement just seems out of place, even for bryan standards...
you made a good observation, the reference to islam was unneeded. in my opinion.

something like that, everytime I listen I hear another element that's been borrowed from Erik B. and Rakim, they are the most sampled hip-hop act in history.
