Synopsis

Amazon.com

Hip-hop has always been a puzzle, and the two-CD "platinum edition" of 1987's classic Paid in Full reestablishes one of the genre's key pieces in proper context by combining the original 10-song tour de force with a companion collection of important remixes. From Eric B.'s Technics terrorism and sampling symphonies to Rakim's soulful, street-smart flow, Paid in Full is landmark science, a Ph.D. effort building on the early theories of New York City legends like the Sugarhill Gang and Grandmaster Flash. By featuring 10 remixes--including Coldcut's "Seven Minutes of Madness" treatment of the title track and the Wild Bunch's "Move the Crowd"--The Platinum Edition also highlights the duo's influence on DJ and club culture beyond the B-boy set. --Mark Woodlief

CD Reviews

Unbeatable duo!!!

Lenny | San Antonio, Texas, U.S.A. | 08/19/2000

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Back in the days, I was a DJ/MC/Beat Boxer/Popper and I remember it as the most fun time of my life. I was in awe by Rakim's lyrics and couldn't figure out how he had so much creativity to dream up his lyrics, and on top of that, put it into a hardcore yet funky rhyme. I soon boasted Rakim as one of the few, if any, that could hang with Grandmaster Melle Mel during his prime. I shadowed Eric B. because I used to focus on his weak scratching techniques, but soon learned the whole orchestrated composition was his doing. After getting into local Hip-Hop production, I respected his talents by TRYING to "bite his style." It was to no avail. Although I could duplicate the beats and cuts, it definetly didn't have the same soul. Together, Eric B. & Rakim are an "unbeatable duo" and one of the later pioneers of Hip-Hop. This CD is a must have!!! - - WIZDOM (formerly Lenny V.)"
