"Don't Sweat the Technique" is the title track of Eric B. & Rakim's fourth album, the last one the duo made, and MCA sent it out as the record's third single in June 1992. They wrote and produced it themselves and hung it on a sample of Kool & the Gang's "Give It Up", a loose, jazzy bed for a pair who never sounded in a hurry.
It has had a life away from the radio, too, landing on the soundtracks of three video games: Fuser, Aggressive Inline and Watch Dogs 2.
