Eric B. & Rakim - Paid In Full in details

Paid in Full is credited as a benchmark album of golden age hip hop. Rakim's rapping, which pioneered the use of internal rhymes in hip hop, set a higher standard of lyricism in the genre and served as a template for future rappers. The album's heavy sampling by Eric B. became influential in hip hop production. The record has sold over a million copies and the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) certified it platinum in 1995. In 2003 and 2012, the album was ranked number 228 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
