Follow The Leader seems to get the #2 spot a lot from what I've seen. I'll go with FTL actually. Don't Sweat is right there though. | |

| I guess I shouldn't have voted because I haven't heard The Master or Seventh Seal. My bad. | |

| Don't Sweat is my pick. The production, hooks, subjects, are all there. Dope shit. Seventh Seal is my 3rd pick. | |

| I don't see Let The Rhythm Hit Em in any of these conversations. Is there a reason for that?...lol
Follow The Leader is my 2nd fav but Let The Rhythm Hit Em is a close 3rd for me. ..Looks like I'm in the minority with that choice. | |

| 18th Letter Always n Forever... that would actually be my pick for number 1, but since we're running off the assumption another CD is #1 I'll give #2 to 18th Letter. | |

| Follow The Leader is his second best album IMO
and Let The Rhythm Hit 'Em is third and I've got 18th Letter in 4th....also Don't Sweat The Technique is 5th....The Master is 6th and The Seventh Seal is dead LAST...that's my least favorite effort from him....too much damn singing and not enough dope production on that one IMO! | |

Ironically, I like Rakim's albums in the order that they were released in. I spin Follow The Leader and Let The Rhythm Hit Em about the same amount, but I give FTL the slight edge because of the first three tracks on it, which is one of the best starting 3's in hip hop history IMO. | |

| DSTT is my number 1 and number 2 would be LTRHE. 3rd would be FLT rounded out by PIF. I'm not counting his solo stuff for the purposes of this discussion. Are my views borderline sacrilegious? Yes. | |

| I would easily take Follow The Leader, which is nearly classic as Paid In Full. | |

LOL, that'll teach me to not drink Hennessy all day long (Work was short today because of the insane heat we're getting). | |
