The master producer Eric B. once again teams up with one of the greatest lyricists ever, for this 1990 album. 1. "Let The Rhythm Hit Em" As the title track and opener to this album, I found it to be a little less impressive than expected, however it is still a big track for the pair. You get them coming out with the same sort of thing you heard on their last one, "Follow The Leader" with amazing MCing, but with a lack of samples within the production (which made there debut so significant). Four Stars 2. "No ...
