Eric B & Rakim

Considered one of the greatest lyricist in the game ever. Rakim jumped on tracks like Sprint knowing you had good credit. Brought us classics like Don't sweat the technique, Juice, Paid in full. Last but not least his stand out song "I know you got soul". The pair is generally considered to be one of the most influential and groundbreaking groups in the history of hip hop because of the duo’s dark production and Rakim's revolutionary rhyming style, which was smooth, seemingly effortless, and used remarkably complex rhyming schemes involving internal rhymes and sophisticated metaphors.
