This guy was pulling out catchy rhyme after catchy rhyme out of his back pocket like it was nothing.

I dig this record but I have to say that it's my least favorite one from them. I even like "Let The Rhythm Hit 'Em" more than this. It's a classic but like "Punlio" sayed it didn't age really well. "Rakim's" flow and style is timeless but the beats and the music itself isn't that great compared to what the 90's, 2000's and 2010's made possible.

I get that this is a classic, but the genre has advanced so much since this has released, it now sounds like "baby's first beat tape". No disrespect, but this album didn't age well.

Exactly. Out of curiosity I checked albums by Public Enemy and Boogie Down Prod from the same 1987 and they just sound much cooler. Rakim is a legend no cap but the sound of this album is just not it

Dope lyrics and a couple of nice beats. I find his solo work more listenable if a little samey.

The stuff that hasn't aged well here is charming and vintage. The stuff that has aged well here has aged really, really well.

RA's flow puts me in a trance man, some of my all time favorite shit. I know you got soul has one of the sickest flows I've ever heard.

No Album Had A Bigger Impact On Hip Hop Than This One, even though in my opinion quality wise follow the leader is slightly better
