CHAN’S HOT LIST 9.17.12

Hip-hop} I Ain’t No Joke- Eric B & Rakim

Michael Di Bella wrote in the All Music Guide to Rock that “Rakim grabs the listener by the throat and illustrates his mastery of the rhyming craft”. It was a tough toss up between this song, “Eric B is President” and “Paid in Full”.  All three deserve heavy rotation through your speakers.
