Yea he did. I'll find the interview later but he found the record, re-did the drums live and made the beat.

Word, didn't know that.

I wake you up and as I stare in your face you seem stunned
Remember me, the one you got your idea from

what u mean my history

You have over 3000 neg's, you know and I know that you earned most of that. No one here really gets negged because it is a conspiracy to get a poster. I bet you are an agitator on here. Props for making a post that gives the hat tip to a legend. Here's a fun fact, guess who had a meeting with Eric B first? Someone else... He didn't show up for the duo discussion. That's right, before Eric got with the 18th letter, he was going with Mr Knuckles himself.

According to Eric B., he originally planned to link up with Freddie Foxxx, but since the rapper wasn’t present at his house, Eric B. met up with Rakim instead and a legacy was created.

It’s incredible to think that the legendary duo, Eric B. & Rakim could very well have been Eric B. & Freddie Foxxx. Doesn’t quite have the same ring to it does it?

Eric B: We went to Freddie Foxx’s house and he wasn’t home. He was like “I got another dude, he nice too!” “He has a totally different style than Foxx; he got an aggressive style.” “This dude got a smooth laid back style.” So Alvin takes me to Rakim’s house and we start talking.

RESPECT TO ONE OF THE GREATEST EMCEES! GOLDEN ERA!
