Rakim article in Source magazine
« on: September 05, 2002, 07:31:48 AM »
Did anybody read this article. If true, it was very discouraging. Rakim gave no info on the album and it was mentioned that only two songs were semi-complete. Now that contridicts what was been mentioned on this board and even what rakim and dre said about songs being complete and what mellowman said about the albums progress. Nobody knowns sh$t. SMOKE and MIRRORS

Ya' know Dre keeps shit under wraps that's important. Like Chronic 2001, it leaked, but only closed to release date. Most news changed as time went on. Rakim and Dre plain to blow the whole hip-hop industry up in one album. They ain't saying shit for reals.

Yo.  I'm not the least bit suprised.  This proves both my theories.  A- Mellowman is full of shit.  B- Rakim ain't ever coming out.

The article said as of August 2002 we've only heard a verse on "additive" since rakim signed in 2000

So the source is always right?.........

You guys are idiots if you cant respect someone who goes out of they're way to post exclusive news on some of your fav artists. He doesnt have to do it and if you dont believe it then shut up and dont read it.

And if anyones wondering I dont really care about Aftermath that much but I respect Mellowman and I hope hes not reading this because someones dumb comment could make him leave and never come back and that would piss quite alot of you guys off.

Dr. Dre & his camp usually give out less information than what is available, meaning that they usually keep everything a secret (or throw you off with misinformation) to give themselves extra time to finish their projects.

Yeah, I know all about Dr. Dre and his camp.  Unless it's Eminem, it ain't comin out.  Shit, the only reason "2001" even dropped was because Eminem breathed life into it.  Eminem himself said the album wasn't much till him and Royce started writing for it and gave Dre a kick in the ass.  It's a miracle that the Truth Hurts album ever came out.  It only dropped because the propularity of the DJ Quik produced single.  Rakim will have a similar fate to that of King Tee, Eve, The Last Emporor, and even outside aftermath fam like Knocturnal.

Who knows. Dre knows people have been waiting for this CD more than any other Aftermath release. I mean King Tee it great, but his not even half of Rakim. Same with Eve, or Last Empiror. We'll see, I've been waiting, and waiting. They've had the title forever, let's see if they can live up to the hype, or not and cancelle the CD.
