Eric B. & Rakim
Real Name: Eric Barrier and William Griffin Jr.
Profile: Eric Barrier (Eric B.) and William Barrier Griffin Jr. (Rakim) were a hip-hop duo known as Eric B. & Rakim. The pair is generally considered to be one of the most influential and groundbreaking groups in the history of hip hop because of the duos dark production and Rakim's revolutionary rhyming style, which was smooth, seemingly effortless, and used remarkably complex rhyming schemes involving internal rhymes and sophisticated metaphors. Its single "I Know You Got Soul," which borrowed extensively from the Bobby Byrd record of the same name was one of the era's stand-out James Brown-influenced recordings, and further popularized the extensive sampling of Mr. Brown's catalogue in an addition to other similar soul and funk artists.

They began recording together in the middle of the decade with "Eric B. Is President" (1986 in music), originally released on Zakia Records in Harlem, New York City. The single, produced by Marley Marl, who incorporated the bassline from the R&B club hit "Over Like a Fat Rat" by Fonda Rae, quickly became a hip-hop anthem. Paid in Full and Follow the Leader were the duos first two full-length albums and were hits by hip hop's standards at the time. In 1989 the pair teamed up with singer Jody Watley for the Billboard pop chart top-ten hit "Friends" featured on Watley's Larger Than Life album; this was one of the first collaborations of pop and hip hop artists. Much of the duos initial impetus and influence can be attributed to its now deceased mentor and deejay, FLAME 3 of the TPA graffiti crew. The Coldcut "Seven Minutes of Madness" remix of "Paid in Full" is considered a milestone in hip-hop, remixes, and sample-based music and is arguably the duos most-recognized hit. Despite its world wide success which led to the track entering many overseas top ten music charts, the duo claimed not to like the remix during its release.

The duo's last album together was Don't Sweat the Technique (1992). Its single "Know the Ledge" was the theme song of the feature film Juice and was among its most popular hits. During the recording of that album, both members expressed an interest in recording solo albums. However, Eric B. refused to sign the label's release contract, fearful that Rakim would abandon him. This led to a long and messy court battle involving the two musicians and their former label MCA Records. Eric B. did release a solo album in the early 1990s on a tiny independent label that was not marketed properly and flopped. Rakim released two solo albums, and a third has been in the works for many years.

UNI Records
Profile: In 1968, MCA Records launched Universal City Records, a.k.a. Uni Records, as a brand that lasted through 1972. Records produced during this era bear the "UNi" logo and inconsistently refer to Uni Records, Universal City Records, or MCA Records as the parent company in the fine print. They are just different trademarked names for the same company (MCA). In 1988, MCA revived the label briefly, promoting the brand as UNI Records, and adding the word "Records" to the familiar logo. It was retired again in 1989, but may appear on occasional reissues.
Parent Label: MCA Records

People givin me thumbs down for what reason? I put this on the Cosmos. The only reason i'm so connected to Rakim is because of my uncle. He was at the party where "Hip Hop" was first said and used as an art.
