i think thats the reason they waiting, waiting for a shitty month of music
-
i highyl doubt's ra album drops in nov...i could bet my life on it.... all the other albums got track titles that leaked out and advertisement from mtv, but not rakim. and even if, you know aftermath, i doubt it will drop this year, if yes, i say around xmas
-
Ra will never drop. Peace.
-
ra's first single would probably be "Oh my god" feat. Eminem. Yes, I do think he would get crushed.... ::)
-
Ra will never drop. Peace.
be sure to wait in line for it when it does and you get blown away
-
I know it wouldn't sell well no matter when it came out.
-
I predict a Ra will drop a bomb ass lp in November
2003...I can honestly say it dosn't look to good for it this year.
Rakim will always go gold....and this effort is going platinum no more or less. this will not be a "truth hurt's" disaster...cause Ra has history.
But Yeah 2002 does not sound likely.
It'll prob drop the same day as "Crooked I" and "Van Gogh"...lol

Disaster? Hmm. For a debut artist who isn't yet established her album was in no means a disaster, a disaster would be an album drop from Em or Dre and push nothing atall. Truth is doing well for herself, especially overseas.

What I ment was.....Dre could have focused his energies on his own solo or Ra's joint instead of donating so much time on that project.
Is it worth coppin' homie for a so-so R&B fan to copp?
I'm interested but kinda like...... :P
Is the "Addictive (remix)" included?

I don't think OMG will still drop this year but if so I don't think he'd really get crushed cause Ja Rule and Rakim fans often ain't the same persons anyways

I know what you mean now you've explained yourself ;D Your not a big RnB fan so you would rather of not seen that released and just have Dre stick to strictly hip-hop projects like his and Ra's which is fair enough, but for RnB/soul/hip-hop fans like myself I can appreciate her release more than just your average hip-hop fan. I'm glad Dre has ventured into RnB/Soul too because it means he's giving me all different types of material now, but if your not an RnB/soul fan then you can't really appreciate that, so I think he was aiming releases like this at fans like me. But if you actually listen to her album you will see that it has a strong hip-hop influence and it really is a dope album, really well put together.
Oh, and the remix isn't included on the album, but it's included on the single version of "Addictive" (on both vinyl and CD).

i think this is gonna be one of those albums that really nobody i gonna hear about it when it first drops but when people start copping it then word of mouth is gonna come and then the radio play and so forth and bam its gonna blow up but i dont think this album will not sell i think that its gonna be the bomb and that its gonna sell tons and is gonna be a great album
-
Yo, I know that when this Ra album drops it will mos def. be tight as fuck.....sales-wise it all depends on tha promotion, and tha first single....if it is not promoted or tha single flops then................but if Dre puts out good promotion and tha single is a banger then it will push heavy units!! I just cant wait to hear Rakim over Dre beats!!!:o This for me is a must have in my collection!!!

How can Rakim get crushed by any rapper in the game? How many times does it have to be said: Sales don't determine the albums greatness. How can this album not be better than the rest? Rakim hasn't gone multi since Paid in Full. But that album is not the only reason why he's great. Stop tripping off sales and comparing his release to others, thats a game Rakim can't win nor tries to. He just wants to give you his version of HipHop, if you want his version then sobeit if not then stick with wants POPular.

Trust me, Dre will promote this album to the max, he said he wanted it to be the best album ever so...
And they been in the studio for 2 years now so im guaranteed that its a fukkin album full of hitsingles.
Dre got respect 4 Rakim so he´s trying to make the beats as perfect as possible + Primo is doing the other half of the album so i think dre wants to outshine him and vice verca so it will be full of tight fukkin beats, guarateed!!!
Peace

..Yea i don't think Ja Rule fans a Rakim fans...lol Ja fans run form 12-13 yr old boys-girls...Ra fans tend to have age and more of a hip hop fan base...I think this will do well because all the heads i know are anticipaing this album...and so on..I think it will be by word of mouth that this album sells alot
