Eric B & Rakim‘s Paid In Full is still one of hip-hop’s most treasured albums, and the God MC, as he’s often called, is still heralded as one of the art’s biggest innovators, in terms of wit and rhythm. Now, you can hear it directly from the man himself–he kicks off the interview by blatantly stating that the way he shaped his flow on Paid In Full, (which was the only way hip-hop got from the rigidity of flows like “Rapper’s Delight” to all of the complex rhyming that we have today) is modeled directly after John Coltrane‘s solos. Keep listening to learn how a skeptical young Ra met Eric B at a time when he would have rather played football than make a rap album amidst other remembered gems.
