Did they sell this US-Pressing back then in Germany? I have exact this pressing but a price tag from a famous german retail store.

unfortunately this pressing doesnt sound great. Dont know if others are better. My copy of "Paid in Full" sounds great and I expected a sound like that..
I have a copy of this. Mid 2000's UK unofficial release w/ 45 KIng remix of Microphone Fiend unavailable on any other LP release of this album.
2lp repress sounds good, Don't even bother with the Og press if you don't have it..

Man,Right on!!!!! Thank You! No dis to the others but DAM!!! Rakim is one of the BEST lyrical MC'S from the 80's and 90's and now! The others wish they could flow like Rakim! Paid In Full was a dope lp,Eric B is President is the first 12" that I got threw the record pool here In VA. Look Rakim is the best beat rhymer there is!!! Eric B and Rakim is the Best!

Always amazes me how there can be a heap of reviews for a Nas album yet nothing for an album like this.
Follow up to the massive Paid In Full album and at the time of course it received it's fair share of negative reviews which always plagues 2nd albums by know it all music types mostly who have never released any music themselves.
Anyway had this album come before Paid In Full it would have been received just as fondly, I love this album as much as Paid In Full if not more so. Follow The Leader, Microphone Fiend, The R, Put Your Hands Together etc etc are such dope tracks and like the first album weird interlude/ instrumental tracks were included which adds to the mystic vibe Rakim carried.
Rakims rhymes are still some of the best rhymes EVER full stop.
