Rakim's Oh My God>How well will it sell

[Don Rizzle]

i think although he may be legendary i think it'll go platinum at the most, what r ur thaughts

[Hambone (Guest)]

shit........me and my crew are going to cop it..as soon as it drops..

[P (Guest)]

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.

[Oakland_Raider]

I don't give a damn how much it will sell
All i know is that shit is gonna be  off the hook.
just imagin "Flow forever" on Dre's beat. that shit be hella tight. Can't wait till the album comes out,
is there a release date yet?

[Trauma-san]

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.....

[Don Rizzle]

only the ppl who know about hiphop know rakim, if i asked my friends i reckon only 1 person would know who he is

[Hambone (Guest)]

yeah i asked my friends at work..and they were like who?


im like Microphone fiend?
maaan makin my azzz feel all old and shit.......

but.....i think it depends on what the first single will be....if Dre is puttin is all into this album...he is going to have interscope(universal) push this album hard.......especially if someone on here said that dre just got a 9 figure deal???

[Trauma-san]

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...

[Hambone (Guest)]

damn....mtv got that kinda power tooo......too bad the Box aint around no more...and shit..half the time the cable company here..doesnt carry bet.....oops i mean..mtvbet....

[cremedelaclem]

i think it'll go at least plat

itll be banging and most peeps will  love it....the only folks thats gonna sleep on this album are those real east coast purists (no disrespect to them) that dont wanna hear rakim on no funky dre shit....

but i think itll be straight heat....

[Trauma-san]

I Think The Eastcoast Heads Will STILL Buy It, Anyways.. I Do'nt Think The East Hates On Dre..

[Hambone (Guest)]

can u imagine....

Rakim and Eminem on a track....

two totally different generes........

[cremedelaclem]

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!)

[Trauma-san]

Kinda Like Pac Fans, Eazy Fans, Etc.

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