11.19 music

Follow the Leader (Eric B. and Rakim, 1988)

The first three tracks are stellar.  It's still good after that but not as good.  I'm not sure I'll ever fully appreciate Rakim the way other people seem to.  I also noticed this felt like a very long 50 minutes.  Paid in Full felt really long the first time too, but it was also the first 80s rap album I heard, so I attributed it to that.  But now I think it must be something about these guys.

Choice cuts: Follow the Leader, Microphone Fiend, Lyrics of Fury
