Review

Rolling Stone (4/11/02, p.106) - Ranked #19 in Rolling Stone's "50 Coolest Records" - "...Lean, spare beats, driven by Rakim's visionary staccato growl..."
Q (2/04, p.114) - 3 stars out of 5 - "'I Know You've Got Soul' and 'I Ain't No Joke remain benchmarks, inventing the slick linguistic tricks later perfected by Nas and Jay-Z."
Uncut (2/04, p.88) - 4 stars out of 5 - "Sixteen years down the line, the bold minimalism of Eric B's work and Rakim's mic control seem little less than biblical."
Vibe (12/99, p.162) - Included in Vibe's 100 Essential Albums of the 20th Century

Title Note

Personnel: Rakim (raps), Eric B. (scratches).

Recorded at Power Play Studios, New York.

Liner Note Author: Tom Terrell.

Recording information: 4th & B'Way, New York, NY (1987); Power Play, New York, NY (1987).

PAID IN FULL is perhaps the most important album of the middle-school era of hip-hop--"I Know You Got Soul," "I Ain't No Joke," and "Eric B. Is President" are as classic as hip-hop songs get. Eric B. & Rakim pioneered the minimalist sound that would form the new-school of hip-hop aesthetics with Eric B.'s innovative distillation of James Brown samples to pure drum and bass-line splendor and Rakim's narcissistic monotonal lyrical bombast. The title cut forwarded the manifesto that all others in hip-hop were to follow: the eternal search for dead presidents.
