ERIC .B & RAKIM “ PAID AND FULL “ REACTION 

one of the top ten hip hop tracks of all time. hands down.

This song is the first time we heard the phrase "Dead Presidents". Rakim, imo, is the standard for every emcee!

Most of the rappers that everyone consider the best, think that Rakim is the best.

That's an old school classic.

eric b and rakim will always be one of my favorite duos and rakim is one of the very best. like this one .

Rakim is the God MC .... Then you can do your top 5.... No Cap 🧢

itzjt this is the remix of paid in full, check out the original version.

Rakim added a new dimension to emceeing. I will say that there were so many great emcees that came out of that era that its a disservice to say one was the best over another from that time they all added something and they all had their own original flow

Rahim changed the game....he ushered in the new school 1986...height of crack era...check out Mahogany by them

The God Emcee! The Lyricist! He’s the GOAT. Rakim, BDK, Kool G Rap all ahead of their time

Classic track ... definitely recommend the 7 minute version for the playlist. Its a ride 🎶

These dudes right here worked great together. Rakim was the lyrical assassin and Eric B was the cut creator.

Rakim changed the game! Before him everybody had "huh hu hu huh" in every other verse to keep their rhyme on cadence.....imo "My Melody" changed all that

Oooooooh! Yeah Ra is my favorite MC hands down.

Rakim is the innovator of the smooth flow and intricate rhyme schemes

Rakim is one of my all time favorite artists. The Mystery (Who's God) is one of the best songs ever written.

Rakim is the God.....he changed it....his influence....he spit that islamic 5% percent nation street knowledge .. 80's was him, Kane, kool G Rap, LL , krs one, public enemy, the first golden era of rap.....can't forget slick Rick and Dougie, mc lyte Queen Latifa salt n pepa, just-ice .....smh dam what a time to be alive ...

This era is late 80s so we talking rakim, Kane, krs one, LL cool J ,Kool MO Dee, Kool G rap, mc shan, special Ed, Kool Keith, ice cube, chubb rock.

I always liked I ain't no joke by Rakim

Rakim The God

Why has nobody else reacted to this classic!Still have the tape to this day.

The God MC at his prime. Classic!

This was a whole new sound when it came out! This song is in my top 10 all time

THIS IS THE REMIX , DEAAD PRESIDENT IS NOT FROM THE MOVIE IT MEAN MONEY . I LOVE YOUR CONTENT KEEP DOING WHAT YOU ARE DOING.

Eric B was 6 or 7 years before Wu Tang. Eric B was and still is the MAN

It was MCin before Rakim and then after Rakim. GOD MC. Game changer, lyrics and flow!

Rakim is the greatest of all time

I played this song everyday in junior high ad memorized the lines

Rakim was way ahead of his time he spits fr 💯🔥

KRS-ONE, Rakim, Big Daddy Kane in this era. Don't sleep on Heavy D from this time as well. This version is the remix which was the most popular version. The original was more of a showcase for Eric B and his DJing ability.

RAKIM IS THE MOST UNDERRATED MC LISTEN TO THE 18TH LETTER FLOW 4EVER

Eric B & Rakim - Move The Crowd! 💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Rakim invented this style of rapping. After this track tons of rappers imitated Rakim's style.

Paid in full was the beginning of a new era in hip hop.

Know the ledge from juice soundtrack one of my favorite

Rakim single handedly changed the way rhymes were written and said in hip hop

The GOD MC changed the game back then.

Love this ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

thank you girlfriend for reminding me bumpin this back in the day now and tonite

Check out Eric & Rakim - Let The Rhythm Hit'em

CLASSIC!! Enough said!!

Rakim was the first to say dead president. i dont if it was already a slang in new York or not but he was definitely the first to put it on record.

No comparison, back then, Rakim ate EVERYBODY ALIVE!! Hit after hit, after hit!! I remember hearing Eric B for president for the first time on a tape and knew even then, it would be one of the best raps EVER

Dope song

The best of the best. Now do Casualties of War ...

Classic Reeeemix!!!

Jody Watley ft Rakim..Friends...

Rythm And Poetry...the GOD!

THE GOD MC RAKIM TOP 5 BEST OF ALL TIME #THEGOAT RAKIM CAME OUT IN THE MID 80s AT THAT TIME THE TOP 5 WERE 1.RAKIM 2.KOOL G RAP 3. LL COOL J 4. BIG DADDY KANE & 5 THE BLAST MASTER KRS1

One of my favorite groups... way ahead of their time.

People also forget that Rakim was the first rapper NOT to scream/yell or raise his voice on his album. Way ahead of his time

Rakim has never rapped one curse word in his thousands of bars

2024!

FYI, this is an edit of the "7 Minutes of Madness" remix.

1987 sure shot

RAKIM IS THE BEST EMCEE TO COME UP 🆙 IN ANY TIME PERIOD…..

Rakim #1

Rakim the God. Best m c of all times

Kool mo deee😂

And dude you’re looking at and hearing recorded this and some of the other songs on that album when he was 17/ 18 years old.

First Hip-Hop song to only have to be 1 Verse w/no Hook...IT'S THAT HARD! He's the reason for Nas, Kurupt, and Buckshot! There's only 3 rappers that actually shaped Hip- Hop, before Tupac, and they were Big Daddy Kane, KRS ONE, and Rakim

KRS-1, Rakim, Chuck D are the gold standard. Big Daddy Kane had some great songs as did Kool Moe Dee and young LL Cool J. And an array of female rappers.

Microphone fiend by ERIC B and RAKIM

Listen to the original version.

Please react to Rakim - Let The Rhythm Hit Em

Rakim Allah the God MC

Rakim allah ! God mc !

Rakim and Big Daddy were the first two great flow mc's imo.

RAKIM STILL HAS *“NO COMPETITION”* & WILL *”ALWAYS REMAIN ON TOP LIKE THE SUN 🌞”* *MOON 🌙 & STARS ✨ 🌟*

This is the remix by Coldcut not the original track

What's your method for submitting song requests? 🎉

LL Cool J the goat!!!!

If you liked this one, check out M/A/R/R/S: Pump Up the Volume! It samples this track liberally!

There was no best MC. We just enjoyed whatever came out.

This version of the song is the Coldcut remix, not the original. Eric B. and Rakim didn't like this version, but I think it's dope.

This is a club remix you should find the original its a much much better listening experience. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UYM0osNSg4w.html

I’m sorry but Rakim is the greatest of all time no exceptions… just do follow the leader and see why… or message in the song or love 4 sale or in the ghetto or untouchables (all of these are songs).. you could go on and on but here’s just a few I think you’ll enjoy reacting to 🤷🏾‍♂️

I still don't know who did this remix was it MAARS?

JT you can talk as much as you want

rakim is my #1 mc but wu tang is the best group

Rakim gave birth to nas,kool g rap gave birth to big pun!

This aint the original track. It's a mix version

The origami version is better to me

Krsone

“Paid And Full” really?? As opposed to “Unemployed and Empty”

Paid “IN” Full…,smh

I know someone might have already commented about it, but this version does not do this song justice. The editing was kinda bad. Left you wanting more. The REAL version... Oooooh yeah... Paid In Full (Seven Minutes of Madness) The Coldcut Remix.

Nas dissed Jay-Z on this beat called stillmatic. I don't know why ppl don't talk about it but he ran through all of roc a fella .. pause lol but its on RU-vid. Look up Nas Stillmatic diss.

You can’t match his flow

Rakim is Da 🐐 🐐🐐

This was part of the 7 minutes of funk remix. That's on the Colors soundtrack.

It's Paid In Full not Paid And Full. You should check out Paid In Full 7 minutes of madness

This is the remix babe. I hate this version personally...too much mixing and different elements added and you don't hear all of the verses. Listen to the original then you will get the true effect of the song. And it's called "paid in full" not and. The best MCs are broken down by era and they are the ones who changed the direction of rap music. Rakim and Kane were the best in late 80s. LL Cool J killed mid 80s. Biggie and Nas killed it early 90s along with Black Thought and Big L. Big Pun killed late 90s with JayZ. Other notable trailblazers are Run DMC and Kurtis Blow in the 80s, and Mobb Deep, Snoop, Tribe called Quest, Das Efx in early to mid 90s
