Episode Details

This week we discuss the wordy and innovative Eric B. & Rakim. These guys made some extremely gnarly hip-hop during the late 80s and early 90s that paved the way for groups like the Wu-Tang Clan. Influential, awesome, and we had a great time dissecting each album.

Closing track: "Don't Sweat the Technique" from Don't Sweat the Technique (1992)
