Presidential?



I guess it's possible that the signatures on this OG orange label promo of the G.O.A.T. of double-sided hip-hop singles are legit. I guess it's also possible that Sadaam (R.I.P., as Ron Artest would say) actually possessed WMD but they were just really well hidden. Anyways, the truth I suppose lies with "Eddie." (For what it's worth the other side of the record is also "signed" by "Eric - B -" and "Rakim" - but in ballpoint pen. Which means either Eddie, or his accomplice, was tightening up their forgery skills on the B-side before going for broke on the flip. Or Eric B. (a/k/a Eric - B - ) and Rakim did not initially have a Sharpee handy when they autographed the record and they mistakenly signed the B-side before eventually locating the proper writing utensil and then blessing the A-side. 
I guess whichever scenario you believe means you're either a glass half-empty or half-full type of person. Happy (Dead) Presidents' Day.
