Rakim - Oh My God [Never Released Aftermath Album]

Dogg Ly Dogg:
I'm opening another Thread regarding this album that unfortunately never seen the light of the day...
Rakim signed to Dre's Aftermath label back in 2002 and was supposed to drop a solo but due to musical differences between Rakim and Dre, Rakim left the label and if Im correct he only did like 3 official songs while on there, "Addictive" from Truth Hurts 1st solo, "The Watcher 2" from Blueprint 2 and "R.A.K.I.M." from 8 Miles OST.
We all know the classic "After You Die" that leaked during thise session  8)
So my question is, was there any other tracks that leaked while Rakim was on aftermath? and if you have any comment or info regarding this album or the time Rakim spent on aftermath I would be glad to learn about it.

Blood$:
I just bought that Truth Hurts single on vinyl this past weekend for a buck lol

I'd love to hear anything he recorded during that era

SuperSpider:
That ''After you Die'' verse though, thanks for reminding me about this masterpiece  8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

CharlieBrown:
Welcome 2 Da Hood leaked from that time, beat is shockingly shite for Dre's standard (not saying he produced it, but if he was in charge of quality control, he let Ra spit on anything), lyrics and flow are on point for some gully shit, though.

He did another RnB collabo, i can't remember the name of the other artist, some unknown lady, song is a bit weak.

Cold Feeling produced by Ayatollah was released on vinyl, got me hyped for the LP before any of the official songs were released. Beat is kinda dope, but sounds like it's missing something. Wish Dre could have co-produced it to sprinkle the little magic he adds.

At least some of the song It Ain't Cool with Truth Hurts was released on a J Love mixtape, sounds like Hi-Tek produced it (in some mag interview, he's alleged to have produced a song called Too Cool). Seeing how 50 steals other artists beats, i wish the Hi-Tek beat for the LP was G-Unit, Rakim flowing over that beat would have been up to the level of bonkers i was expecting, but this is just my opinion.

Stat Quo said all the 50 Cent Dre beats for GRODT were from Oh My God, Whilst Ra hasn't confirmed this, Kon Artist said he did a version of Heat before 50 got on it.

Apparently Dre wanted Ra to spit on the Family Affair beat, but Ra thought it sounded too much like an RnB beat, so Dre gave it to Mary.

M.O.P said in an interview that Ra asked them to do a collabo for the LP.

And Rakim signed back in 2000, not 2002.

Not sure if his verse on  Alicia Keys Streets of New York with Nas was whilst he was on Aftermath or just after he was dropped/left the label.

jaytee:
Addictive (Remix) It has a new verse by Rakim.
Heat by 50 Cent was originally intended for Rakim, but he didn't want to bring the guns back out.



This is only speculation on my part, but I really believe that some of the beats that Obie Trice got were meant Rakim or Detox. Especially, "Oh!"
