Hurry, hurry, step right up and follow us into an episode filled with beats, bars, and the God MC himself.
This week's episode sees Hilary and Cody marveling over the second album from Eric B. & Rakim. We flip out over the exquisite samples (shout out Bob James!) and Rakim's mastery of flow and rhymes. Studios get blacked out, there's a feud over cereal...it gets in tense.
This is a landmark record in the evolution of hip-hop. "Follow the Leader" put everyone on notice that these guys had not only had claimed the throne, they had zero intention of letting it go any time soon. Eric B. & Rakim elevated the art form and established the template from which every modern hip-hop artist has taken more than a few pointers.
