Dre's motivation for firing Rakim.... ?
Storm:
They pound out new material every day, but most of it is shit. Rakim is a vet who has proven to be one of the greats. If Dre can't see how much more talent Rakim has then those dudes then Dre is crazy. Rakim cares about perfecting his songs and probably doesnt want to rush making them all the time like 50 or Banks.
Peace.

Storm, you've got it EXACGTLY right man, props. Who wants to hear all those garbage mixtapes anyway, or freestyles over the "hottest beats"......that shit does nothing for me, i'd rather them really take some time making some quality music, but i guess thats too much to ask nowadays

Young Griff:
You got to keep your name out there or people will forget about you. People talk about respect and that artists who have earned success and legendary status shouldn't have to prove themselves. Any artist of any stature should have to prove themselves time after time, constantly. When Michael Jordan came back this last time (even though he was past his prime) he had to put in his work to get back into the game. He hustled to get back into playing shape, He couldn't leave the game for a few years, not stay on his toes and expect to comeback and rule the game. Rakim is a legend and like Chris, Jome and others said, Rakim has respect from old school heads but all these new listeners don't know what he is about. He has to be reintroduced to the game, get his name out again, put in his work, get his hustle on again. Even some of the wackest artists out put in hard work.
We don't know what really went down between the Dre and Ra so it's hard to put all the pieces together but if two people don't mesh they aren't going to get much done.
