Paid in Full: Laying the Foundation

A whole host of albums on the docket in this one! Matt gives Tim the choice of two sets to be considered alongside Eric B. and Rakim’s stone-cold classic Paid in Full. (If you haven’t heard Eric B. and, especially, Rakim directly, you’ve heard them in other artists.) Tim chooses the DMX and Busta Rhymes route as Matt outlines their cases as foundational, formative acts in hip-hop.
