How well will Rakim sell?

(1/7) > >>

_That_Cracka_J:
Really, how well do you think this will do?  I don't think it will do as good as everybody thinks....I'm not taking away anything from the album, cause I'm sure it'll be tight, but I'll bet a lotta people don't even know who Rakim is!  Believe it or not, there's a lotta people that don't know Jay Z's/Beyonce's "Me & my girlfriend" is a remake!!!

pappy:
ra will go plat nothing more an nothing less.  all hip hop heads will buy it an some sales will come off of the teeny boppers an ra's affliation with dre who is affiliated with em.  some peeps thinkin hes goin go like 5x plat

The Watcher:
after hearing how interscope want Rakim to do a 'gangsta' album like 50 cent .. im not looking too forward to it,i dont want Ra doin a 50cent impersonation

KVB:
Well it depends on the promotion, but anything less than platinum will be a huge suprise. All real hip-hop heads should buy this album, and with a catchy single (i.e. 50 Cent's "In Da Club") the teenyboppers will eventually catch on and push it to multi-platinum status. Rakim is not as marketable and charismatic an artist as 50, though, so we'll see.

js83:
no more then 1 mill...unless one of his singles gonna feature, dre, em, or 50...
