No sophomore slump for the second Eric B & Rakim album – benchmark hip hop of the first order and up there with the best of all time! Following up Paid In Pull was no easy task, and the appropriately titled Follow The Leader makes it look easy, completing one of the great one-two punches in hip hop history by bring in a richer, fuller, more skillfully creative sound, without sacrificing the dense, hard hitting, sparely funk greatness of the debut. Includes the awesome title track, plus "Lyrics Of Fury", "Microphone Fiend", "The R", "Musical Massacre", "No Competition", "Just A Beat", "Eric B Never Scared", "Put Your Hands Together", "To The Listeners" and "Beats For The Listeners".  © 1996-2025, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Used CD Grade

We use the all-encompassing grade "Used CD" for non-new CDs because we only buy and offer used CDs in the best possible condition.

When you purchase a used CD you can expect the disc to be free of all but the lightest of surface marks, the case to be clean (we often change the cases ourselves), and the booklet to be in good shape. Used CDs may show some signs of use, but if there are significant details or defects we describe the item's condition (just like we do with LPs), so look for notes on cutout marks, stickers, promo stamps or other details before ordering.

All of our used CDs are guaranteed to play without skipping or flaws. After you receive a used CD from Dusty Groove, you have 1 week to play it to determine that it plays correctly. If it does not, you can request a return for a full refund.

Condition Notes

If something is relevant, we try to describe it in the notes — especially if it is release or packaging details, or an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the CD. This might include, but isn't limited to, scratches, tracks that skip, case/insert damage or wear, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

Murs teams up with 9th Wonder, who is fastly approaching superstar producer status – you know the producer's hot when the act he's producing shares headliner status for the album! If you dig the Little Brother LP, and/or the "Threat" cut on the Black Album, you know those kinda ... CD
Def Jam, 1991. Used
Classic 3rd Bass, the a-side a tale of hip hop in the early days with production by Sam Sever and inspiration, we guess, by Joyce. The b-side features the always nice and smooth production of Prince Paul this time using the same sample YZ used on "Crocodile Dundee" and almost sounding ... CD

Hello Nasty
Grand Royal, 1998. Used
The Beastie Boys are looking plenty playful on the cover, and they definitely follow up in spirit on the record – all with that great mix of really rich production that they seemed to discover on the west coast – while still able to serve up all the youthful energy when they burst into ... CD

Ice Cube

Kill At Will
Priority, 1990. Used
Classic 6-song ep reminding us just how dope Ice Cube was in his heyday. About half the tracks feature classic Bomb Squad production, incing "Jackin' For Beats", the original, and still the best, track about stealing other MC's samples (featuring samples from LL, PE, EPMD, and more). ... CD

Relativity, 1997. Used
The fantastic third album from Common – the record that really catapulted him on his way to stardom, yet a set that still retains all the best aspects of his early days in Chicago! Part of that quality comes from the superb production of No ID, who gets a bit of local help from Dug Infinite ... CD

Deborah Bond

Afterday
Asahra, 2006. Used
A beautifully remixed version of Deborah Bond's Day After album – and a record that goes way past the usual project of this sort! The original album was one of our favorites from a few years back, so we were wary of a remix version – but here, the guest talents have actually managed to ... CD

Deborah Bond

Day After
3rd Logic, 2003. Used
Omigod – what a great little album! This is one of the freshest debuts we've heard in years – the kind of underground soul album that pushes our faith in soul even farther than we'd have thought! Deborah's a young singer, but one with an incredible depth of feeling and expression ... CD
