  • "Eric B. Is President" is the debut single released by hip-hop duo Eric B. & Rakim. The bassline is an interpolation of Fonda Rae's "Over Like a Fat Rat". Marley Marl is often credited with handling production duties for the song, but Eric B. has disputed this in recent interviews. About this controversy, Eric B. told Allhiphop.com, "I took the records to Marley Marl’s house in Queensbridge and paid Marley Marl to be the engineer. Marley got paid. That’s why he's not a producer, that’s why he is not getting publishing. I brought the music. I just couldn't work the equipment because that’s not what I did..." During an interview in 2008, Eric B. said, "I took Fonda Rae's 'Over Like A Fat Rat' and said 'This is the bass line I'm going to use for this record.' Rakim spit the beer all over the wall and thought it was the funniest shit in the world. I told Rakim, just like you laughing now you going to be laughing all the way to the bank and be a millionaire one day because of this record." (en)
  • "Eric B. Is President" é o single de estreia da dupla de hip-hop duo Eric B. & Rakim. O baixo é uma interpolação da faixa de , "Over Like a Fat Rat". Marley Marl sempre é creditado como sendo o real produtor da canção, mas Eric B. coloca a afirmação em jogo em entrevistas recentes:Eric B.: "Eu peguei “Over Like A Fat Rat” da Fonda Rea e disse 'Esta é a linha de baixo que vou usar nesta canção.' Rakim cuspiu a cerveja na parede e achou que era a coisa mais engraçada do mundo. Eu disse para o Rakim, assim como você está rindo agora, você dará risada no banco e será um milionário um dia por causa desta canção." Sobre a controvérsia sobre a produção, Eric B. contou ao site Allhiphop.com, "Eu levei os discos para a casa de Marley Marl em Queensbridge e pagamos Marley Marl para ser o engenheiro. Marley foi pago. É por isso que ele não é o produtor, é por isso que ele não recebe royalties. Eu trouxe a música. Eu simplesmente não trabalhei nos equipamentos porque não era o que eu fazia..."
