Paid In Full: Platinum Edition - Eric B & Rakim

Eric B productions and dj skill, the cuttin and the scratchin is doper than dope, of which snippets have made appearances in many cuts over the last twenty years. In a similar fashion, Rakim s quotables have been quoted and re-written many times, example "...i came in door, said it before..." has been used by shaky mc that is Puff daddy.
