EPMD weren't as loud as N.W.A or as poetic as Rakim. However, they were more relaxed like the latter. This not only served as an excellent compliment to Erick Sermon's masterful production, but also forced the duo to deliver lyrically. Not that they didn't before, but it was nothing that hadn't already been heard. Fortunately, Erick and Parrish overcame the sophomore jinx and offered up "You Had Too Much to Drink"-a song speaking out against drunk driving and "Please Listen to My Demo"-one of the best records by rappers about wanting to be rappers ever.
