Compared to Paid In Full, Follow the Leader is the ignored stepchild of the Eric B. & Rakim discography. The instrumental songs aren't as good as that of its predecessor, and just the instrumentals in general. But Rakim is rocking the mic with more technical proficiency and better songwriting. As a fan of instrumentals, I take Paid In Full over this any day, but this is still great. 3.6/5
