Rakim shouldn't lose this one.
One of the most important albums in Hip Hop.

Paid In Full

Like I said in another contest involving this album, DMX is my favorite rapper behind Pac.

Fortunately....and unfortunately, I respect the game and the OGs that laid the game.

Paid In Full by Eric B. and Rakim is more than just a classic. It's a part of the black culture. Even my youngest child knows the words to Paid In Full.......


Thinkin' of a master plan
'Cuz ain't nuthin' but sweat inside my hand
So I dig into my pocket, all my money is spent
So I dig deeper but still comin' up with lint

So I start my mission, leave my residence
Thinkin' how could I get some dead presidents
I need money, I used to be a stick-up kid
So I think of all the devious things I did

I used to roll up, this is a hold up, ain't nuthin' funny
Stop smiling, be still, don't nuthin' move but the money
But now I learned to earn 'cuz I'm righteous
I feel great, so maybe I might just

Search for a nine to five, if I strive
Then maybe I'll stay alive
So I walk up the street whistlin' this
Feelin' out of place 'cuz, man, do I miss

A pen and a paper, a stereo, a tape of
Me and Eric B, and a nice big plate of
Fish, which is my favorite dish
But without no money it's still a wish

'Cuz I don't like to dream about gettin' paid
So I dig into the books of the rhymes that I made
So now to test to see if I got pull
Hit the studio, 'cuz I'm paid in full

I ran out of gas one day and I had $10 bucks in my pocket and gas can in my trunk. Instead of walking to gas station I walked to local music store and picked up that X debut. Then got a tow home listening to said album the whole way there. I think I made the right choice.

Paid In Full

I remember the summer of 1987 when Paid in Full came out. My brother bought LL Cool J Bigger and Deffer and Paid in Full. I bought Criminal Minded. We spent the entire summer arguing who was better between KRS, Rakim or LL Cool J.

My brother said Rakim was better, I said KRS was better but we both knew and acknowledged that LL had the game on lock. He had videos on MTV and was headlining the Def Jam tour.


Anyway, Eric B and Rakim had just as much, IF NOT MORE impact as DMX, ? just aren't old enough to remember.
