MY HIT LIST: DON’T SWEAT THE TECHNIQUE-Eric B & Rakim
From
the duo who produced some seminal early Hip Hop tracks came Don't Sweat the
Technique. Eric B & Rakim released it on June 23, 1992. Their last big hit as a
duo, self recorded and produced by Eric B. & Rakim in New York it has a jazzier sound to it
aligned with a terse vocal delivery. It also contains a smorgasbord of samples;
Give It Up- Kool and the Gang,
Queen of the Nile-Young Holt Unlimited, Right on for the Darkness-Curtis
Mayfield and Take Me to the Mardi Gras by Bob James.
It is one of the
last Hip Hop record from an era when some of the originators produced smoother records that have a popular audience and broke into the mainstream charts this gave way to the
sound that has become more synonymous with the genre; less soul and more
aggression.
