Title: Rakim Has Left Aftermath
Post by: BIG.DADDY on July 16, 2003, 09:13:20 AM: Sorry guys, but it is offical - The Mic God Rakim has left the Aftermath Camp. There were differences between Interscope/Aftermath and Rakim. All I can say is there were differences between both sides. Rakim's album is comin' out this year, but NOT on Interscope / Aftermath. More information in the middle of the next week @ Aftermathmusic.com or DJVlad.com

Title: Re:Rakim Has Left Aftermath
Post by: Jim Jones on July 16, 2003, 02:22:09 PM: who gives a fuck if he got banned. hes a dumbass & he wasnt funny.
Title: Re:Rakim Has Left Aftermath
Post by: Don Breezio on July 16, 2003, 02:27:46 PM: thats not even that good of an alias...if he really wanted to be funny he shoulda done his name as something like Tai Mi Shu or something...had a picture of mike myers dressed like a chinese man or something...lol
Title: Re:Rakim Has Left Aftermath
Post by: Jim Jones on July 16, 2003, 02:31:46 PM: yeah that would have been funny but really, this guy "hater player or NIK" whatever u wanna call him as no life what so ever. He's online 24/7. I bet he hasn't seen the sunlight in over 5 days since he dont leave his house. Its that sad.

Title: Re:Rakim Has Left Aftermath
Post by: Don Breezio on July 16, 2003, 02:54:10 PM: hopefully there will be some sort of press-release from rakim saying why this has happened and when we can expect a release date for his next album...
Title: Re:Rakim Has Left Aftermath
Post by: Jim Jones on July 16, 2003, 02:56:38 PM: Dre looses my respect even more when shit like this happens.
Title: Re:Rakim Has Left Aftermath
Post by: T-Dogg on July 16, 2003, 03:07:36 PM: I ain't feeling good about this either, it's like there's a void in me right now - all this expectation and finally hearing info about it being released from the man himself - and then BAM! Forget it. Sorry we got your hopes up. But anyhow, I won't get mad at anybody, at least not yet, until I've heard some more about this shit from more sources, preferrably Ra & Dre.

Hey XXL, Rime, all them other magz - There's a scoop here, all you gotta do is set up an interview or two and print it...
Title: Re:Rakim Has Left Aftermath
Post by: Don Breezio on July 16, 2003, 03:11:57 PM: yea but you know half those magazines dont tell the whole truth...i doubt we'll ever know what actually happened...there will be so many stories about it.

And I think this is the whole gameplan.. they're playing us for fools..

IMAGINE all the buzz they are gonna get out of this..

RAKIM IN TALKS WITH DAME DASH
Rakim seen @ Death Row offices!!
Daz & Rakim seen hand in hand - Exclusive
Eminem to release diss-track to Rakim

I think this is a GIGANTIC well planned PR-stunt.. and when we expect it the least.. they're dropping the album.
I expect further rumours to get spread.. and I guess that Rakim or Dre will say nada to the press.. it all seem too fishy..

Title: Re:Rakim Has Left Aftermath
Post by: Trauma-san on July 17, 2003, 07:59:54 AM: I'm right, again. His album ain't dropping this year, when has an artist EVER left a label and their album still drops that year? Never.

Jome knows whats up...lol...i think it is a publicity stunt...no doubt but who knows....its not like they havent mislead us before on this album
Title: Re:Rakim Has Left Aftermath
Post by: Twentytwofifty on July 17, 2003, 12:12:06 PM: I'll wait for a reliable source to say what's up because all the "news" regarding this album has been bullshit. I don't beleive shit about this album unless it comes from Dr. Dre or Rakim's mouth.

Rakim was obviously in contact with thaformula.com within the two weeks or so, so why the hell would he give them that information about the album when he was planning on leaving the label? I'm sure he wouldn't just decide to leave over night.
Title: Re:Rakim Has Left Aftermath
Post by: CharlieBrown on July 17, 2003, 12:52:44 PM: I'm starting to think (hope) more and more that this is a way of getting publicity and stopping pre-release bootlegging, so hopefully that means they're sending the album to be pressed and it will be released soon.
Title: Re:Rakim Has Left Aftermath
Post by: willie_d on July 17, 2003, 02:21:25 PM: I think most of you are optimistic about the outcome for Rakim.
I cannot imagine this being a publicity stunt. It's on Aftermath Music online!
I think Ra had enough of it. Face it, one of the best lyricists and one of the best beat makers in hip-hop working together. Their egos got stuck, can't you see?
I think Rakim is better off now. I thought the Dre-sound wasn't suitable for Rakim's delivery. I hope he finds a new label, maybe Koch? I don't hate on Dre. He just a perfectionist and I honestly think he didn't see it work out between him and Ra.
But it's a dissappointment, no doubt :(
Title: Re:Rakim Has Left Aftermath
Post by: infinite59 on July 17, 2003, 02:46:57 PM: I said all along that a Rakim on Aftermath album would never happen.
