Eric B and Rakim – Follow The Leader Hoodie

Description

Before Rakim, MCs rhymed at the end of each line and called it a day. After Rakim, the entire art form was different. Follow the Leader took the groundwork laid on Paid in Full and elevated it — the internal rhyme schemes got more complex, the flow got smoother, and Eric B’s production went from street corner to cinematic.

The title track opens with those famous words — “Follow me into a solo” — and what follows is a masterclass in controlled aggression. “Microphone Fiend” is pure addiction to the craft, distilled into four minutes. “Lyrics of Fury” lives up to its name. Every bar is placed with surgical precision, no wasted syllables, no filler. Ra was operating at a level nobody could touch in 1988.

This hoodie is for the students of the craft. If you understand why they call him the God MC, you already know.
