iraq would just get annexed by iran


That would be a great solution.  If Iran and the majority of Iraqi's are pleased with it, then why shouldn't they do it?

It's too hard to tell. It depends on his style - is he gonna commercialise it or stay raw. I can't picture a track with him and nate on it but i'm sure it will happen.

It'll Drop In The Fall, I'd Look For about October, November.

I'll Guess It Goes Double Platinum... Rakim Has A Following, Everybody DOES Know Him, Plus You'll Get All The Teeny Boppers Buying It For Dre And Snoop And Eminem (If They're On There).  It'll Be A Great Album, 9.5 Materiall.....

Yeah, But That's Why I Said 2 Million.  There Are Probably 1 Million Hip Hop Heads That Will Buy The Album Outta Respect!  They KNOW With Dre It's Gonna Be Dope.. Did His Last Album Go Gold? On What, There Were No Video Play Or Air Play... That's All Hip Hop Heads...

Throw In A Million For The MTV Audience, And There Ya Go...

nah me neither man, but im talking about those real hardcore east coast underground purists.....

to them Rakim is like a symbol of what hip hop stands for (beleive me cos i know a lot of cats like that) and even tho theyll all cop the album...there gonna say shit like "Rakim is a lyrical genius, but it just aint his style to come out with Dr Dres futuristic funk shit"

they ant hatin on dre....they just aint ready to move with the times and think that it can only be REAL rakim shit if it has one of them grimy ny beats (which i love too by the way!)

I see the first single dropping @ the end of August the earliest.  If not, def around September.
