ERIC B AND RAKIM ( PAID IN FULL)
Corría el año 1987, llevaba yo varios años disfrutando del Hip-Hop en su vertiente más primitiva, Grandmasterflash, Afrika Bambaata, la banda sonora de Beat Street, Kurtis Blow o los inefables Fat Boys, cuando este duo de privilegiados en la materia saco un autentico bombazo en forma de disco llamado "Paid in Full", el album no tiene desperdicio y esta considerado con razón uno de los mejores de la historia del Hip-Hop, y Rakim uno de los MCs con mejor flow y más respetado de la industria, temazos como puedan ser : I Ain't No Joke,My Melody,I Know You Got Soul, dan buena cuenta del impresionante debut de este dúo mágico, pero sin duda el disco será recordado por el excelente Remix que llevó a cabo el grupo Coldcut con el tema que da nombre al disco una filigrana de potente beat con multiples sampleados entre ellos el Im Nim´Alu
de Ofra Haza que fluyen alrederor de la sublime rima empleada por Rakim para esta canción.
Así que aquí les dejo con : "Seven Minutes Of Madness" remix of "Paid In Full" una de mis canciones favoritas de todos los tiempos y quizas mi favorita.
Rakim
Thinkin of a master plan
Cuz ain't nuthin but sweat inside my hand
So I dig into my pocket, all my money is spent
So I dig deeper but still comin up with lint
So I start my mission- leave my residence
Thinkin how could I get some dead presidents
I need money, I used to be a stick-up kid
So I think of all the devious things I did
I used to roll up, this is a hold up, ain't nuthin funny
Stop smiling, be still, don't nuthin move but the money
But now I learned to earn cos I'm righteous
I feel great! so maybe I might just
Search for a 9 to 5, if I strive
Then maybe I'll stay alive
So I walk up the street whistlin this
Feelin out of place cos, man, do I miss
A pen and a paper, a stereo, a tape of
Me and eric b, and a nice big plate of
Fish, which is my favorite dish
But without no money it's still a wish
Cos I don't like to dream about gettin paid
So I dig into the books of the rhymes that I made
To now test to see if I got pull
Hit the studio, cos I'm paid in full
