I think the people running that site are from L.A. so it would be 8:45am July 1st there right now.

Me too, but hopefully he doesn't give up any info about the album like producers, guests, or anything besides and release date.  Hopefully he keeps to the idea of not saying shit about the album to suprise people when it comes out.

These fools are the laziest mu'fuckas I've ever seen...what ever happened to Part II of the HITTMAN interview??  And it took them 8 months to finish the D.O.C. interview after they said it would be up in like a week or two...

Yeah, you got a point there. But then again they're the ones that have the huge splash screen that says "Return of the Mic God - Rakim interview July 1st."

A BIG let down considering that they didn't talk about the new album or any Aftermath shit or any current shit what so ever. It's all about the past. Don't get me wrong - it's VERY interesting to read - how he started out, battled MC's - that type o' shit. Like I said, very interesting to read, but no new info on the new album what so ever. Most likely they're savin' it for next week. Part 2 comes out on the 8th.

This is pretty much what I expected from the interview.  They start off talking about his influences and how he came up into the rap game then talked about his first album and so on, in order.  They stopped in 1990 so I assume part 2 will discuss the break-up, the comeback then his joining of Aftermath and so on.

I think you will be disapointed if you are expecting him to ask questions like "why is Dre neglecting the westcoast?" or "what do you think of 50 Cent?".  I doubt he'll even give any info about the album like producers and guests.  Hopefully a release date.  :D

Well peeps gotta be dumb if they expecting that... (Maybe in the DubCNN interview  ;)). I just wanna get some juicy tidbits about the new album.
