Title: Rakim-"oh my god" ....this summer
Post by: Don Jacob on March 04, 2002, 01:29:02 PM
i just got an e-mail from "all hip hop" and it had this to say...



Hip-hop icon Rakim is finishing up recording his first LP on Dr. Dre's
Aftermath imprint, titled "Oh My God." The LP features production from Dr.
Dre, Hi-Tek & DJ Premier among others. Rakim, who recites his rhymes on an
upcoming Def Poetry Jam, is also featured on new R&B singer Truth Hurt's
first single & video, "Addictive." "Oh My God" is scheduled for a summer
2002 release.




...as snoop would say, "oh bwoi"

well i guess
addictive was on the radio

its kinda strange though that the first single is not by dre
but any thing from quik is hot

i guess this also means we will have to what longer for rakim over a dre beat

Bismillah!!!!!! All praises due to the Lord and Creator Allah for awakening the honorable Dr. Dre from his cold slumber....And once again bestowing upon us a sign...of life and death... in the physical world, All praises to Allah, who hath given you life, and who will take it away, and again give you life.  Allah is the seer, the knower, of all things hidden.  There are signs, for those who take heed, for those who have eyes.  And turn to your Lord in Repentence, for it is he who is the master of the day of Judgment.

I hope Ra drops Acid knowledge on this and just blows away everybody.  I hope he just takes a huge dump on the rap world as a whole, and shows everybody from Jay Z to ludicris why they suck and he rocks.

WORD.  Great post homie.  I really feel the Islam influence listening to Ra's music.  It's ill how he flips it like that.  That's one thing Muslim rappers have been able to do like no other religion.  To rep their religion and still blow up, and have people from all backgrounds feel them.  
And on the real.  The relationship between Muslims and Jews is unique.  The Qu'ran spends alot of time speaking about Jews.  There is alot of history in our dealings with eachother.  And it's ironic that their are crucial similarities between the two.  We both agree that Jesus was not a God.  And correct me if I'm wrong about Judaism but ya'll also belief like we do, One God, and that no man can be God?....But that Jesus, Abraham, Moses, etc. were devinely spirited?  That's real ill that you've studied Islam, I am gaining knowledge on other religions....Holla back homie... One.

everythin is basically right actually, howeva we dont believe jesus was a prophet or anythin divine about him where muslim believe he was on a prophetic divinity......we just believe he was a regular man in the torah, and it barely talks bout him much......but i still respect anybody gettin anythin positive out of it.......cant wait for ra, i hope he collabed wit like nas.....holla back....oh yeah we be raisin the minds up in here(lol)
