Flashback Friday: Eric B & Rakim and Mario

Y’all know how we celebrate Fridays here at Georgia Mae. Let’s dig in the crates for more forgotten favorites.

GM’s music guru Edward is back with a couple of legends.

Eric B & Rakim, Paid in Full (1987)

Edd said: “I refuse to argue this point: Rakim is one of the greatest lyricists of all time. If you disagree, it probably means you’re buying prom dresses and high school class rings this month. Young’ns, if you’re not familiar with one of the most influential duos in hip hop, here’s your chance.”

Mario (2002)

Jai said: “I felt so wrong for having a crush on this little boy back in the day since I was in college and he was like 16. But the boy can sing!”
