Editing Eric B. & Rakim (section)

===''Don't Sweat the Technique'' and split up===
The duo made an appearance on the [[House Party 2 (soundtrack)|soundtrack]] for the 1991 comedy ''[[House Party 2]]'', ("What's On Your Mind") and also recorded the theme for the film, ''[[Juice (1992 film)|Juice]]''. Both singles were included on what would become the duo's last album together. ''[[Don't Sweat the Technique]]'' was released in 1992. The album was not supposed to be the last; but their contract with MCA was due to expire. During the recording of the album, both members expressed an interest in recording solo albums. However, Eric B. refused to sign the label's release contract, fearful that Rakim would abandon him. This led to a court case involving the two musicians and their former label. The legal wrangling eventually led to the duo dissolving completely. Eric B. has clarified that the monetary problems stemmed from labels like [[Island Records|Island]] and others claiming ownership of the masters — not from any financial disputes between him and Rakim: <blockquote>"The money got split 50/50 from the door, because I remember people would try to keep shit going. When we first came out, people were saying 'Eric was getting all the money' and 'he was trying to shine more than Rakim,' but that's not true. [I] would go to all the interviews, [because] Rakim didn't want to go to the interviews. He didn't like that part of the business. [But] we split all the money from dime one. I don't care what money I spent in the past, that money is never coming back. Whatever money we made, we split 50/50. Even up until now, we split every dime 50/50."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gamespot.com/pages/unions/forums/show_msgs.php?topic_id=26273313&union_id=11620 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120730194839/http://www.gamespot.com/pages/unions/forums/show_msgs.php?topic_id=26273313&union_id=11620 |url-status=dead |archive-date=2012-07-30 |title=GameSpot Forums - Off the Books: Anything and Everything Hip-Hop - AHH Review: Class of '88 - Paid in Full |publisher=Gamespot.com |date=2008-03-05 |access-date=2013-07-05 }}</ref></blockquote>
