Rakim : "I Played Drums On 'Juice' & Produced 80% Of My CATALOG"

[iLLusoYuN_Da_Adidas_King]

He also did most of the scratching on his first album. It’s weird Rakim always made Eric B seem like a dope Dj he was really just a Bodyguard in all the pictures.

I mean rakim never got touched, robbed, stepped to, or disrespected in NYC ever so Eric B did a good job I guess.

I didn't realize Eric B was a fraud.

studio goon

you try telling him he was a fraud

i also forgot to mention beside Large Proffer wasn't Paul C also ghosting in Ra sessions? Cuz Ra said he wasn't actually programming just laying out the vision so maybe these dudes were in there in that capacity.

Why he stop producing when Eric B left though?
SMH…. That “engineer” is large professor he was speaking about. I feel like him & large professor produced the records.

it’s a mid read rakim retains his mystique and doesn’t go into detail much.

He still continued to produced/had some dope shyt on the master just for example

Great album btw

 

[Toe Jay Simpson]

Make business decisions for Rakim and put out an album nobody listened to where he did his best LL Cool J impression.

This is how i know im

Cause I’m diggin the hell out of this. Head nodding and all

I disagree.. Puff does more than that actually

I don’t think so. I look at Puff as a co-producer.

Rakim is a producer. I would say just as much if not more than Irv. He just wasn’t a programmer. Back in the days there were different credits for all of this. Producer, co-producer, arranger, programmer, etc…

Paul C was dead before the recording of Let the Rhythm hit Em started. Large pro did most of that shyt.
