Eric B & Rakim Live 1987 Def Jam Tour (Hip Hop / Hiphop / Rap) LL Cool J Public Enemy Def Jam Tour

[Felixdidit]

He need to leave the vocals out he too good to be spitting over pre-recorded vocals...Step up your game God! He didn't do this when I saw them in Memphis in 87...Greatest lyricist ever need to prove it...

[bokeemo1]

The real G.O.A.T. Makin em clap to it. No mike can ever magnetize em. This is hip hop genius. So all you lil wayne and em fans take note. As you can see this is perfect dialect no mistakes allowed. Pump up the volume. You know you got soul. Bobby Byrd couldn't say it any better. Suckers.

[otizzo]

I saw this tour...dougie fresh played a harmonica and beat boxed at the same time.

I saw the God Emcee rip it up right before LL came out in the giant jam box.

Oustanding.

[Siifter]

Can somebody tell me why they keep vocal playback??

[MrPhillyrick1]

the greatest to ever do it.  nobody controlled the crowd like rakim. listen to eric b on the transformer scratch 3:25. this when hip hop was real.

now who really think the 1980's wasnt the best years in hip hop?

[bswish]

marley marl did all the producing and scratching for Rakim, eric b wasnt a producer or dj

[musiqgem]

@bswish That's what I say but the god lied & said in an interview he made most of the tracks himself! Type in "Rakim speaks on his production skills"

[reggiemunch]

@musiqgem I think that was a certain album-I think he was referring to overall-

[philosophic9]

@bswish whats your source?

[Snorkeldrek]

Wow!, i was there at the Jaap Edenhal, Amsterdam...,brings back some goood memory's,thanx for posting!!

[MrClocksucker]

Who knew genius could be created in 2 weeks? Rakim/Eric B=God

[B2De]

@ neteru99....."God Made Me Funky" by The Headhunters.

[lowlife71]

I saw the ATL show. First it was the laser show then Eric B came up from the top of the pyramid then the Rakim came from the bottom of the pyramid in a throne.

[ganzitoism]

@lowlife71 I saw the same show in Philly at the Spectrum; the door to the pyramid got stuck and Rakim had to come out from the side of the pyramid. Public Enemy, Boogie Down Productions, LL, and others; dope ass show!

[AaronEarlLivingston]
