Title: When Rakim's album drops...
Post by: _That_Cracka_J on June 25, 2003, 12:52:07 PM
Will he make the cover of The Source?  50 Cent SHOULD HAVE when he blew up.....Do you think they won't put him on there because he's Aftermath?

I don't think even the Source would be that stupid. They must realise that such a move would just be alienating half of their readership, and that having Rakim on the cover would actually get them a little respect back.

When "Oh my God" drop's I have no dought in my mind that he will grace every single publication there is connected to this game including the Source. The Source would have to be commiting suicide by not allowing the master a slot even after the affiliation, Ra is bigger than the beef or Aftermath/Shady ImO.

Rakim is Hip-hop

Well they are going to have to draw a cartoon of Rakim like they did with DMX or use an old pic cause they are not getting a photo shoot or an interview with him.  

Well that's if what Dr. Dre said is true when he said that no one on his label would deal with The Source again.

who cares if he's on source!

he'll be on/in plenty of magazines the day it drops and the day after so no it's no big deal IMO if the source has him in there

The source will be out of business by then, It's scheduled for release in 2012

MESSAGE ON AFTERMATHMUSIC.COM

What's up everybody,

Bill Blass is a friend of mines and he Manages RA's career.The word is that Interscope wants Ra to do a Gangsta type album which caused a very important meeting the other day. The album is going to come out this summer, its just a matter as to when because the summer will be soon over. Do not be surprise if it is out the first of August and expect some bars that you have never heard before in your life. I have some of the shit here in front of me right now. All i can say is expect some Follow the Leader, No compotition and juice type shit.

With 50 doing his thing Interscope wants Ra shit to pick up where 50 left off. They are money hungry and want to stay on top at all time. Rated R be ready dog this stuff is ready for your ears. The only way this album does not come out is because they want him doing more grimmy tracks for the album. The buzz is so big and all of us have a lot to do with the chats that go on the internet. Bill told me to tell you cats to keep those chats going on. I have Bill hooking up something where we are going to have Ra Chat with you Rated R and you to Vernon. The other cats i cant remember there names that we had been chating with.

That cat who claimed to be Ra is an imposter. He sounds damn good ,but its not him. There is some political stuff i can't get into but in do time i will. Rated R and vernon make sure both of you get back at me because i'll have the first single before it gets to even the DJ's.

Peace, Dk

After all the buzz is over and the album finally drops, GO OUT AND COP IT. I dont think Rakim has ever went platinum even though he is a lyrical God. Dont just download the album, go out and support the artist. Dont call him the god in one breath and steal the album in another. Cop dat shit!

^^ Nope, look at all the other dope albums that people just download.  We've had what, a dozen westcoast cats not sell crap because nobody supported them, the same thing could happen to Ra.
