“Eric B Is President” is one of the top tracks from Eric B & Rakim‘s debut album “Paid In Full”, and fits well into the collection of Bboy joints from the duo that you’re likely to hear in the cipher.
Setting off the verse with the legendary lyrics repeated by MCs for over 25 years:
I came in the door, I said it before
I never let the mic magnetize me no more
Eric B (@ericb) produced this joint, which also involved MC Shan (@mc_shan) and Marley Marl (@goldeneraradio).
Definitely dig Sway Beats’ In the Lab post on the production of “Eric B Is President”.
And you must dig this severely dope mixmash of “Eric B Is President” with “The Edge” by David Axelrod, a crate digger’s classic, by Vince Simmons of Mass Media Remixes, (along with a very generous Free Download!):
…as well as the extra, extra Funked out remix by DJ Curse (@iamdjcurse), also with a dope Free Download!
And check out the sample source for the bassline, from Fonda Rae’s “Over Like a Fat Rat”:
The track also samples James Brown’s “Funky Drummer” as well as “The Champ” by The Mohawks.
