No, you're dreaming again, I said 99 was the year when hiphop made a slight comeback, try paying attention instead of getting EVERYTHING twisted!
Early 90's I started, when you was 5-7 years old, nuff said.
And you was the guy boasting about seeing Scott Storch on MTV "all the time".

Hes got artists like 50, Lloyd Banks, Game ect that are working there asses off, making tracks every day, showing up on radio, magazines, tv ect...Creating a buzz for themselves.
And then hes got Rakim, who is a legend in his own right, but Rakim is just sitting around back in New York prolly expecting Dre to just toss him an album full of beats and then hes out.
Now Dre is thinking why am I gonna give dude a) an album full of beats for nothing when dudes b) c) and d) are putting in mad work for my label and not only creating there own buzz, they are creating a buzz for myself aswell.
People (for the most part) who post on this board are knowledged hiphop heads who know about Rakim. But the majority of people buying albums today (ages say 12-20) dont know shit about Rakim, arent feeling him anymore, or think "wasnt he that guy way back then"...
Now this is no disrespect to Rakim in anyway, but I can understand why his album on Aftermath didnt drop.

Early 90's my fucking dick...Don't make me bring up threads now, because I don't feel like searching...And I never said I see Scott Storch on MTV all the time, I just simply said that he's on MTV all the time...PeACe
