Dre's motivation for firing Rakim.... ?
LyRiCaL_G:
i think the simple reason why the album didnt come together was they didnt make something dre and jimmy was looking for.........c'mon man, everyone knows that work ethicc stuff dre talkin about is bullshit when it comes to rakim.......
i guarentee if ra's album was nearly ready or comin out real sick, you would see some short parts of certain tracks or left over tracks being sent to mixtapes....
but mixtapes is fo new artists, not legends like rakim........for me, the album wasnt comin out like they wanted it to, so they decided to split..........
i could go on about this subject forever......but to compare, game, banks n co to ra is unfair........to both sets.
i think they jus fucked up on ra's album, with what they wanted it to be.......his a legend for what he does...dres a legend for what he does..........fuck it.......i'll check ra's album wherever it drops
peace

Key word, Hip-Hop Heads...Jome obviously doesn't fit in that category...He was anticipating the new Lloyd Banks album.

Keyword is "Hiphop heads".
TRL-teenagers like yourself probably know by now, Interscope isn't happy with selling records exclusively to hiphop-fans, they want MTV-heads like yourself to buy the album as well.
Take a google-search for Interscope or Aftermath, and you'll find out all about it.. ;)

LMAO @ people thinking that hella people know who rakim is. Reality check: He hasn't dropped an album in years, ain't hardly anyone who buys rap music these days knows who he is. Just cuz he dropped dope albums in the past doesn't mean shit. Look at DJ Quik, and just about every other veteran on the westcoast. we got a bunch of lil groupie bitchez buyin rap these days. they want that gay shit that snoop and 50 cent doez.
