Lyrics 🗒: I'm rated "R", this is a warning, ya better void Poets are paranoid, DJs destroyed 'Cause I came back to attack others in spite Strike like lightnin', it's quite frightenin' But don't be afraid in the dark, in a park Not a scream or a cry, or a bark, more like a spark You tremble like a alcoholic, muscles tighten up What's that lighten up? You see a sight but Suddenly you feel like you're in a horror flick You grab your heart then wish for tomorrow quick Music's the clue, when I come, you're warned Apocolypse Now, when I'm done you're gone Haven't you ever heard of a MC murderer? This is the death penalty, and I'm servin' a Death wish, so come on, step to this Hysterical idea for a lyrical professionist Friday the thirteenth, walking down Elm Street You come in my realm, you get beat This is off limits, so your visions are blurry All you see is the meters at a volume Pumping Lyrics of Fury It's a A fearified freestyle Terror in the styles, never error-files Indeed I'm known-your exiled For those that oppose to be level or next to this I ain't a devil and this ain't the Exorcist Worse than a nightmare, you don't have to sleep a wink The pain's a migraine every time you think Flashbacks interfere, ya start to hear The R-A-K-I-M in your ear Then the beat is hysterical That makes Eric go get a axe and chops the wack Soon the lyrical format is superior Faces of death remain MC's decaying 'cause they never stayed The scene of a crime every night at the show The fiend of a rhyme on the mic that you know It's only one capable, breaks the unbreakable Melodies unmakable, pattern unescapable A horn if want the style I possess I bless the child, the earth, the gods and bomb the rest For those that envy an MC it can be Hazardous to your health so be friendly A matter of life and death, just like a etch-a-sketch Shake 'til your clear, make it disappear, make the next After the ceremony, let the rhyme rest in peace If not, my soul'll release The scene is recreated, reincarnated Updated, I'm glad you made it 'Cause you're about to see a disastrous sight A performance never again performed on a mic Lyrics of fury A fearified freestyle The "R" is in the house-too much tension! Make sure the system's loud when I mention Phrases that's fearsome You want to hear some sounds That not only pounds but please your eardrums I sit back and observe the whole scenery Then nonchalantly tell you what it mean to me Strictly business I'm quickly in this mood And I don't care if the whole crowd's a witness I'ma tear you apart but I'ma spare you a heart Program into the speed of the rhyme, prepare to start Rhythm's out of the radius, insane as the craziest Musical madness MC ever made, see it's Now an emergency, open-heart surgery Open your mind, you will find every word'll be Furier than ever, I remain the future Battle's tempting, whatever suits you From words to sentence, there's no resemblance You think you're rougher? Then suffer the consequences I'm never dying, terrifying results I wake you with hundreds of thousands of volts Mic-to-mouth resuscitation, rhythm with radiation Novocain ease the pain, it might save him If not, Eric B.'s the judge, the crowd's the jury How do I plead to homicide? Lyrics of Fury They're getting furier A fearified freestyle Eric B & Rakim (pronounced Rah-Kim) Info 📰: Eric B & Rakim are a Hip-Hop duo formed on Long Island, New York in 1986 composed of DJ Eric B (born Eric Barrier) and MC Rakim (born William Griffin Jr). Rakim is one of the Top 5 emcees of all time- bar none. Rakim has influenced many emcees spanning decades including: Tupac, Nas, Wu-Tang Clan, Kool G Rap, Jay Z, The Notorious B.I.G., Black Thought (The Roots), Eminem, J Cole, Kendrick Lamar and many more. Eric B was born on November 8, 1963 in Queens, New York. He attended William Cullen Bryant High School under a basketball scholarship. "I thought of becoming a pro ball player", he said. "But music became a priority". Rakim was born on January 28, 1968 in Wyandanch, New York on Long Island. He wrote his first rhyme at seven years old, about the cartoon character Mickey Mouse. He initially aspired to play professional football. He was a quarterback on his high school football team. Before Rakim was known for rocking mics he was a talented saxophonist who studied legendary jazz musicians like John Coltrane and Thelonious Monk both of whom became major influences in his lyrical style of writing and rhyming. Rakim is known for complex internal rhymes, compounding, literate imagery, velvet-smooth flow and unpredictable off beat rhymes. Eric B and Rakim met in 1985 after Eric B looking for a rapper to complement his turntable work at the New York City radio station WBLS. After Rakim responded to Eric B's search for "New York's Top MC", Eric B's friend and roommate Marley Marl allowed him to use his home studio. The first track they recorded: "Eric B Is President", was released as a single on the independent Zakia Records in 1986. After Def Jam Recordings founder Russell Simmons heard the single, the duo were signed to Island Records and began recording the album in Manhattan's Power Play Studios in early 1987. Rakim wrote his songs in approximately one hour while listening to the beat. He then recorded his vocals in the booth by reading his lyrics from a paper. In 2006, Rakim revealed, "When I hear my first album today I hear myself reading my rhymes but I'm my worst critic." The duo completed the album in one week. They have said that they worked in 48-hour shifts and recorded in single takes to complete the album within budget. In a 2008 interview with AllHipHop, Eric B stated, "To sit here and say we put together this calculated album to be a great album would be a lie. We were just doing records that felt good". The album's success led to a contract with Uni Records and MCA Records, where they released their second album: Follow The Leader (1988). Eric B and Rakim are credited as officially producing Paid In Full. Although Marley Marl claimed to have produced two tracks: "My Melody" and "Eric B Is President", Eric B has argued that Marley Marl was only an engineer. In 2003, Eric B alleged the duo had not been fully paid for their work, and filed a lawsuit against the Island Def Jam Music Group, Lyor Cohen and Russell Simmons. Eric B & Rakim released two more albums as a group: Let The Rhythm Hit 'Em (1990) and Don't Sweat The Technique (1992) before breaking up as a group and releasing their own musical projects. Eric B released a self title solo project in 1995 while Rakim released two solo albums: The 18th Letter (1997) and The Master (1999). Rakim then signed with Dr Dre's Aftermath label in 2000, but the expected album never materialized. Since then, Rakim has made guest appearances with numerous other artists such as Jay Z ("The Watcher, Part 2"), Truth Hurts ("Addictive"), Nas, KRS ONE ("Classic"). In 2002, "Don't Sweat The Technique" appeared in the video game: Aggressive Inline. In November 2009 Rakim released another solo album: The Seventh Seal. Eric B & Rakim officially broke up around 1994 in order to pursue their own interest in and outside of music. In 2006, Rakim was an Honoree at the VH1 Hip-Hop Honors show. In 2011, Eric B & Rakim were nominated for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, they didn't make the final list of inductees. On October 20, 2016, it was announced via Twitter that Rakim had reunited with Eric B after 23 years. The duo teased a potential reunion tour the next morning, hosting a poll for the fans to give their opinion on what city Eric B & Rakim should start the tour. Four locations were the potential candidates: New York City, Las Vegas, London, and Australia. Since the announcement of the reunion, fans have speculated if the two will drop a new studio album in the near future. Nothing ever materialized out of their short lived reunion. Eric B & Rakim reunited in June 2023 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Hip-Hop. They performed at New Jersey's legendary Stone Pony concert hall, becoming the first Hip-Hop act ever to perform there live on stage. Rakim performed the song: "Eric B Is President", live on stage at the 2023 Grammy Awards tribute to 50 years Of Hip-Hop. Rakim performed a tribute to "I Am Hip-Hop" Award recipient DJ/Producer Marley Marl at the 2023 BET Hip Hop Awards. Rakim opened the tribute with live versions of his songs: "Eric B Is President" and "Paid In Full". Eric B has many business ventures outside of music including movie production, owning a few restaurants, as well as playing the character of officer Mike Gee on the television series: Blue Bloods, since 2019. Rakim still performs his music live on stage in 2024. *****CONTINUE BELOW*****
