Whose fault is that, Coltrane, whose fault is that???????
I saw Rakim on Wednesday night. It was good, in no small part because he showed up, which made it a far different experience than the last time I tried to see him. I can say in candor that pretty much everyone in the audience know more Rakim lyrics than I did. But I was able to do my part on Paid in Full, where he basically rapped the first two lines (lines which Thurgreed and I agreed are perhaps the best opening lines of any song) and then held out the microphone and let the audience do the rest. Here is some kind of cheesy funk, but notable because 3 and a half minutes in, you can see where Eric B and Rakim got the opening drum beat from, and 2 minutes and twenty seconds in is the flute sample. It's the Soul Searchers with Ashley's Roachclip:
