Paid in Full 2LP

When you drop the needle on this 2LP edition of Eric B. & Rakim's "Paid In Full," the sharp crackle of beats and shuffling samples slams your senses; it's the heartbeat of golden age hip hop. Released in 1987, this album pushed the limits with tracks like "I Ain't No Joke" and "Paid in Full," forging a blueprint for MCs that followed. Pressed by Geffen Records, it captures the duo's mastery in every groove, a solid mark on rap's timeline.
