Man killed in barber shop shooting
28 August 2005

One man died and another was seriously injured during a shooting at a
barber's shop, police said.

Two men, aged 24 and 39, were taken to hospital following the incident
in Long Island on Saturday afternoon.

The 39-year-old, Eric BarrIer also known as Eric B. who lived locally,
died from his injuries.

The 24-year-old, also from Long Island, is said to be in a serious but
stable condition in hospital.

West Camden Police were called to reports of several shots being fired
in and around the barber's shop at the junction of Lozells Road and
Wheeler Street.

A force spokeswoman said no arrests had been made and appealed to anyone
who witnessed the incident or had any information about it to contact
police.

One of rap's most influential acts during the 1980s, Eric B & Rakim made
the sampling of James Brown records the main source for hip-hop's sound
during the late '80s and early '90s, beginning with their stellar debut,
Paid in Full.

While Eric B dazzled listeners with his turntable techniques, Rakim
pointed the way toward the easy-rollin' style of the '90s with his
laidback raps, though forceful in content. Each of the duo's first three
albums achieved gold status, and they even managed the Top Five R&B hit
"Friends" in 1989.

While working as a mobile DJ for New York's WBLS during 1985, Eric
Barrier met William Griffin, a top MC who had grown up on Long Island.
The two began recording together and emerged with "Eric B Is President."

The single appeared in 1986 on Harlem's Zakia label, and became a street
sensation. Signed to 4th & Broadway the following year, Eric B & Rakim
released their debut album, Paid in Full.

The LP's success led to a contract with Uni/MCA in 1988, and their
second album, Follow the Leader, was released that year. Two more albums
followed, Let the Rhythm Hit 'Em (1990) and Don't Sweat the Technique
(1992), after which the duo broke up. By the mid-'90s, Eric B. had
emerged as a solo act on his own 95th Street label.

Si rakim c'était pas ramené de Long Beach, et si Freddie Foxxx c'était pointé au rdv ça aurait été : Eric B & Freddie Foxxx.

ERIC B DEAD?

No, No, No… Here it is y’all – as far as I know Eric B is still alive and well. The source of this wack rumor is some bone head that thought it was cute to write a fake news story stating that the famous DJ was shot and killed. Well, it’s not true (to my knowledge) and, if you read the story, you can easily tell it’s a fraud. Eric B for president still…I think he could do better than the current commander-in-chief
