why do people want a Dre + Rakim CD anyway?
« on: July 16, 2003, 06:09:16 PM »
i never understood why anyone would ever want these 2 do lots of songs together to begin with. there styles are completly different, styles have to be similar with beats/rhymes so their is chemistry. why would you want a Dre-produced album and not a Premier, Pete Rock, or (if there is a god) another Eric B album?

and don't respond with "Dre is the best producer and Rakim is the best rapper"

Why not? Ra's a versatile MC and Dre's a versatile producer...

I agree. I wasn't anticipating Rakim's new album on Aftermath anyway, partly because I had a feeling that it wasn't gonna be released. Why anticipate something that probably won't be released? I was anticipating King T & Hittman's album on Aftermath & look what happened. :-\

Also IMO, I don't think that Dre's production would of fit Rakim. :-\

well, I guess you expected Dre to lace Ra with some 2001-like beats... maybe Dre flipped his style ?

(wait for Detox... hehe)

I'm not saying that they wouldn't of sounded tight together. Like you said, Dre might of changed his production style for Rakim's album but with the current style of Dre's beats I don't think that they would fit Rakim.

i'm happy that it happened. he'll sound much better over eastcoast production. half of these cats wouldn't even know who he was if it wasn't for dre signing him so i don't know why they're bitching..

yeah that guy doesnt belong on dre beats. in my opinion. a lot of the eastcoast producers sound much better over ra's flow . i think theyre more successful at creating a hip hop sound, than dr dre is. not Rap sound, but a hip hop sound.

Dre wasn't gonna produce the whole thing... and Dre's sound isnt exactly pure west coast these days

I want it because Rakim is the best MC ever and Dr. Dre is the best PRODUCER ever, not just beatmaker like most "producers".

Dr. Dre won't just sell him a beat and that's it, he does what he wants with it, he'll do what a producer is supposed to do, be like a director in a movie.  

What happened last time Dre took a while for an album and people doubted him?.........................................................he released 2001.
