Paid in Full is the debut full-length LP by Rap duo Eric B. and Rakim, released in 1987. It is held in high esteem by most of the Rap community as a classic of the genre. Eric B. is President, the first single off the album and by the duo, was somewhat revolutionary at the time of its release in that it showcased a different style of rapping that would soon be adapted by numerous MC's of the past and present. The song was also produced mostly by Marley Marl, contrary to popular belief that Eric B. had produced it singlehandedly.
