The acronym EPMD stood for "Erick and Parrish Making Dollars," but the Long Island duo’s accomplishments go far beyond their bank accounts. They released some of the best hip-hop of the '80s and '90s, and are one of the most sampled acts in the genre’s history. Rapper-producer Erick Sermon and MC Parrish Smith sampled funk and rock records to craft laidback head-nodders, spitting rhymes that were fun, street-smart, and packed with unmistakable chemistry. Each of their albums cleverly used the word "business" in its title—the best were Strictly Business, Unfinished Business, and Business Never Personal—and each was full of party starters that rap fans loved and admired. It's no wonder that artists from OutKast to Snoop and Dr. Dre to the Weeknd have sampled their work. EPMD may not get enough credit in the press, but hip-hop would never be the same without them.
