Title: Rakim to sign with Dreamworks???
Post by: Hittman2001 on September 04, 2003, 12:53:14 PM
Now that he's wrapped up The Ownerz, DJ Premier has finally started working on his solo debut and word is he will collaborate with 50 Cent on a track for it.  Also, Primo is prepping a Poet (of Screwball) single for his Year Round imprint; the A-side is "Poet Is Coming" and the B-side is "Message from Poet" Lastly, word is Rakim will sign a new deal with Dreamworks and the key is that Premier and Large Professor will be handling the majority of the production---still no word on whether any of the Dr. Dreproduced material will be cleared for inclusion? (C'mon Dre!!)

from our very reliable www.hiphopsite.com
lol

why you laughing? i'd rather hear Premo production. I'm not surprised, he was going to sign to Dreamworks before he signed with Dre

Yup Rakim over Premo and Extra P sounds very good to me indeed. No need to clear any of the Dre tracks.

Hmmm.. I can't help but be curious about how Ra would have sounded over Dre's beats. But you're right - if it was a choice of either/or, it'd be Primo and P for me.

This is so stupid.  There is no way Rakim has a complete album collecting dust over at Interscope and will never see the light of day.

i was laughing at the fact hiphopsite reported this (and i apologize for laughing if it offended you). Yes Rakim sounds good over Premo beats.  but i would like to hear what he sounds like over more Dre beats since we have only heard him over one beat, well two if you count the addictive remix.  i'm sure if the Aftermath version of the album is "leaked"  with all the tracks he did with Dre...that version will most definetly sound better.

Agree.

Hiphopsite and their "word is" seems less reliable by the minute.
Some of their "news" seems straight up made up, but at least they make up for it by correcting it the next week..

I didn't realise Rakim was that happy at Dreamworks before, but they've let him release the album he wants to before.

I think Primo's better than Dre when it comes to Rakim.
*bumps When I Be On The Mic*
His East Coast flavour  just fits better..

Hiphopsite.com also reported a release date for the album from a "very reliable source", so we know how reliable they are with this Rakim situation.


I would rather heard the Dr. Dre/Rakim album then what they are going to come up with with DJ Premier, Large Professor and others.

they also reported about rakim splittin when everyone said the albums jus about done and they also told us all about a title in works for a ftermath album called "nigga with attitude2 like months befo anyone else heard so i trust them........i mean they aint always fully correct or on point and like most sites, make mistakes but they still come on point alot and have also been close to the actual thing alot of times to, so u know, everyone dawg mite have their own feelins about hiphopsite, but i dig the site no doubt.......i wouldnt be checkin it if i didnt
