[TheRalphus666]

At the end when Eric B is talking on the track they followed Rakim,Eric B was probably said I aint Lip-synching...fuck that

[21sttnmemphis]

LEGEND

[OldSkoolBBoyEd]

1 Person Didn't Get Paid In Full

[jaydigggs990]

kilt it..

[dirtyfighter34]

Eric Bs scratch at the end epitomizes the art of the Dj. How many times has that be scratched over the years? millions.  Yet B does it with a unique style, not fast, not hyper crazy like a Qbert, its not even technically difficult, he just adds a unique flavor to it, and that's what a dj is all about.

[kipthejeweler]

pure fire one of the best rap songs of all time!!!

[nyc1rob]

kanye, jay z.....pay attention.....this is how it's done

[tainaVangrsrp]

I will try this... For the moment I'm stuck at $40 a day with the ez-casino(dot)com technique...

[bcancun123]

Thanks so much for posting this! Everything on the net is the remixed. This is from the Colors Soundtrack BTW.

[Dstreetz17]

great song too bad he lip synced it.

[MrERA425]

Thanks for putting this up. I had taped this on my VCR and recorded it on a tape that I used to play in my walkman. Eric B's scratch is smooth.

[1974Greek]

live cool yo mtv raps nice jops man

[D201RECORDS]

What happened to peace??

[JosephStash]

Rakim is lip synching. MTV probably made him do that. Shame, Eric B and Rakim are legends.

[PoorFilmPRODUCTIONS]

@JosephStash yea i noticed the lip synch after putting the song next to the video. smh

[str8outtatexas1]

one word for all you new late 90's,2000's rappers and youngsters who listen to this new shit, this is a "CLASSSIC".

[jimbothehat]

[vildvild]

lmao this is for real,, look at Eric he is not doing anything i just löövet it...

[DJ2Jelle]

he is scratching that flute :p

[ginsud]

actually he's not, he's just got 2 copies of Paid in Full plus that flute isn't on the 4th and Broadway label. Nor is the change the beat sample. I still remember seeing this back in the 80s though. Still fresh to this day!

[vildvild]

lols yeah he is,, :P

[ferkulat]

oldscrew! kewl!

[xscape2xscape]

they were real cats that came on the scene with their own trunk jewelry. They didn't have to wait for the record company to paid them in advance to get these things.

[FlingTM]

sounds like a Nas beat, love it

[JT3o]

@FlingTM homeboi... Nas is Rakim's disciple

[FlingTM]

Yeah figured, they obviously where first xD sounds great though

[ZezinhoD10S96]

A pen in a paper Is all they need to mamaze the world.

[IDTVshow]

[wetlandsjammin]

[cintenta]

Dopest jam ever....simple, clean, tight lyrical. Done.

[seanx666]

word yo...this is the tightest joint eva!

[kinxtown]

- Yo Rakim, what's up? - Yo, I'm doing the knowledge, , I'm trying to get paid in full - Well, check this out, since Nobry Walters is our agency, right? - True - Kara Lewis is our agent - Word up - Zakia/4th & Broadway is our record company - Indeed - Ok, so who we rollin with? - We rollin with Rush - Of Rushtown Management. Check this out, since we talking over this def beat that I put together, I wanna hear some of them def rhymes, know what I'm sayin? And together, we can get paid in full...

[goldenage11]

I was gonna say i keep hearing the 'Hit em up' instrumental on this, but im assuming this is before that came out, and yes i know the sample was taken from 'Don't look any further'

[kwsoa]

"assuming" it came out before hit 'em up? Yeah, like 10 years before . I've seen just about every hip hop artist alive or dead preform live. they get hyped, nervous, totally lose their flow the dj spins to fast. rakim is live, eric b is ever so smooth and subtle precision tupac is dead, may he rest in peace, but even his spirit will atest, rakim is the greatest MC of all time. Smooth, articulate, hypnotic, there isn't a superlative that will do justice tho the sublime nirvanathat is rakim

[JUNGLEJUSTICE9mm]

has ne1 got rakiim paid in full on totp 1987

[goonchistaw]

top memories top post , paid in FULL !

[ja3323]

thanks for uploading this your awesome. this is some good classic shit

[Conenion]

Interesting .. he is using an Ortofon pick-up.

Thought there aren't popular outside the EU (were I am).

The scratches aren't fast, but indeed cool.

[mick123876]

ERIC B!!!

[Slobk187]

Classic!!!!

[krakkajackson]

Hard as nails!!!!

[Lindaxnyc]

Ok...I would ho for this man! And I don't ho for nobody!!!

[danthedonHBB]

lol

[admanphoto]

Hope all they sampled got paid in full as well! Oh the irony! LOL!

[sirrahx]

The only music to rap is the RAP ITSELF

[MRJARDIM]

@sirrahx Still a nice smooth bassline compared to the rap today which is garbage. DJs back then could always compose a nice groove.

[rflexall]

If you think Eric B was carefully laying down bass grooves on top of drum track he wasnt. Its just 4 bars looped from a Dennis Edwards tune "Dont Look any further". The flute track he grabbed someplace else but thats basicly it.

[djt2012]

@rflexall flute part is from Ashley's roachclip

[quizmite]

Can you say lip sync & most definitely SCRATCH sync.

[flenderson69]

lol i was thinking that cuz it sounds exactly the same as the recording

[redboy934]

Ur Acting Liek If Its Hard To Scratch LIKE tHAT And SOn0ound LIke That

[Stefan0539]

The best rapduo ever takin a tune says me a swede from the dark and cold

[Lindaxnyc]

Dam right!
