It is too bad about the minuscule amount of money that Coldcut got payed for the mix of "Paid In Full", but I hope you aren't implying that Eric B. & Rakim aren't "cool" because of this. They are one of the true innovators in hip-hop IMO. _Paid In Full_ and _Follow the Leader_ are classics! Rakim's style has influenced many -- Paris and Da Germ (on Shadow) come immediately to mind. Coldcut are definitely great and I'm continually amazed by their own work and remixes for others, but to take away credit from EB&R is way off. | E r i c | [mail] franse@engr.arizona.edu | | F r a n s | [web] http://intermix.engr.arizona.edu/~franse | "Make the events occur that you want to occur" - The Black Dog
