    I am actually old enough to remember when this first came out. Rap music was not really being played on mainstream radio at that time (with a couple of exceptions...commercial stuff by guys like MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice). But REAL rap music was only being played on underground stations. In the late 1980's, one of the radio stations in Boston that was playing all the latest rap music was WERS at night (from 8 to 11). It is the radio station for Emerson college. I used to listen to them every night. I remember hearing them play Follow The Leader for the first time. Rakim was already my favorite MC but this track put him on another level.

    Eric B. & Rakim, EPMD, Boogie Down Productions, Slick Rick, & Big Daddy Kane are just a few of the hip hop pioneers I had the great fortune of growing up listening to. Over 30 years later, Rakim is still killin' it on the mic.🎤

(Fu-Schnickens) - La Schmoove 🔥🔥🔥🔥(game changer for lyrical prowess) Yoke the Joker (Naughty by Nature) the whole cd is a banger but this first track brought a whole new sound to hip hop. This is at the same time NWA came on, Naughty by Nature IMO is the east coast flavor compared to West coast at the time. La Di Da Di (SLick Rick)

Back story, he was/is a militant black nationalist that was a part of the nation of Islam at one time. His lyrics are predominantly politically and socially conscious. This joint hits hard.
