Is it true that Eric B was nothing but a goon?

This picture is rare Rakim actually smiling

Does a picture of Eric B smiling even exist? Maybe thats what started their friendship

 

[Dzali OG]

Iono...I could've sworn it was Eric and it was like Rakims niece or some...

 

[Wacky D]

Eric B was not only respected by Rakim but other rappers like Kool G and shyt. What I'm saying I've heard from other people with knowledge about the NY rap scene back then so I'm not sure. Whats said is that it would be no God MC with all the gold, sports cars and shyt if it wasn't for Eric B. It would be no biggest contract in rap at the time, and all that.


I should've said "taught him about the rap game."

although Eric B. was very business savvy when it came to music...

that MILLION DOLLAR advance in 1989 from MCA records was

"007"(Double oh 7) aka RAKIM ALLAH was good in the streets, long before he linked up with Eric B.....

Killer Ben had his back out in BK ..the fort green area...

The same Killer Ben that was putting "pressure" on Puffy and Bad Boy Records affiliates out in BK......

and down south E-Shaw and his brother "griff" (griffin) was big dawg down in georgia

can't forget the gods out on Utica and the Oasis out in queens highly respected him...although SOME of the Mecca OG's like the God Kalim hated on RA...cause they felt that rappers such as himself benifited greatly from the School in Mecca (harlem) and basically wanted him to fork over bread...

just like they had the RZA doing during the mid 90s....

but overall RAKIM ain't never been jacked, smacked or much less dissed during the height of his career....

he was and is a G.O.D amongst mortal men

Eric B is really a gangster. He ran with all the heavy hitters in NY back in the day.

 

[Cool Dr. Money]

Eric looked lost behind the turntables back in the days

Ra did too...he was just waaaaaaay more discreet with it

as he said..."i didn't feel the need to exploit the lives of my street associates within my music"
