Eric B. Is President - Eric B. & Rakim

I remember my sis and I sneaking out the house after moms went to sleep when I was about 9 years old. The parks by the East River in NYC were LIVE. I can remember spending most my time by the DJ's table just reciting the words to this and Check Out My Melody, before this album even came out. Back then I didn't know nothing but my love for Hip Hop...I'll always have it

wonder how many rappers take notes from the kings? classic

HELLS yeah! I was like 11 so I couldn't participate but that time, growing up in Brooklyn, was the best time of my life.

why cant the radio rap return to this? back when music was good and not about how many hoes you fucked and how much drugs you sell.

Dookie Rope!

Let us not forget

Bucket Kangols
Name Belts (the first time around)
2, 3, 4 finger rings
Gold Fronts (precursor to grills)
MCM jackets
Adidadora's

I FEEL you son!

I saw Eric B and Rakim in at the "After Midnight" club in 1987...

The show was late

Fights between every set

Weed coming from everywhere

Bubble gooses
Patrick Ewing Adidas
Lee Jeans
Cazal's
Dookie Ropes
I saw this dude get his chain snatched
Ahhh.....the good ol' days
Anybody feel me?

Make em clap to this

you can't just say "but that's back in the day...this is the new hip hop". I got young people born in this century saying that the today's music is ass. They be lovin Rakim and whatnot. Yup hip hop fell off HARD.

It was 1987 in California, I was in my Buick Regal Lowrider in 12th grade jamming this song on my 6x9 Kenwood speaker with my EQ flashing the lights. Thank you for posting this jam you really took me back.
