Im thinkin this is in the wrong forum but its bout aftermath so fuck it how many songs did he while he woz on the math i got the following
Truth Hurts Feat Rakim- Addictive
Truth Hurts Feat Rakim- Addictive Remix (Dre Track)
Jay Z Feat Dr. Dre, Rakim And Truth Hurts- The Watcher 2
Rakim- R.A.K.I.M
Woz there any more like mixtape shit
-
yeah there was a track called "cold feeling" produced by ayatollah
-
Aside from the ones already mentioned, I can't really think of any more. Though I did read this article once where Mike Elizondo was interviewed, and he revealed that the "Family Affair" instrumental that Dre gave to Mary J. Blige, was originally recorded in late 2000-early 2001 for Rakim to use.
** And the beat for 50 Cent's "Heat" was originally for Rakim as well.
-
damn I love Heat.. thats my favourite beat from GRODT... and family affair is dope too..
What was Rakim smoking?
-
i can't really picture rakim over family affair tho... and heat.. like rakim said the problem was dre wanted him to do some gangsta shit and rakim didn't want that.. creative differences.. wasn' that what made them split? or did i get somethin wrong
-
I dunno how true that is.. Rakim has spat gangsta stuff too.. I also heard Rakim wasn't very committed...
-
well Rakim got all of the tracks he recorded while he was on the Math and he needs to put that shit out even tho it may not be his best material coz we´ve been waiting for another album from the god mc for a long fuckin time and he needs to listen to his fans coz mofos really been fiending for some Ra shit for too long.

Word.
Rakim has kicked gangsta shit before, on "Know the Ledge" which came out back in '91. That was best he ever did IMO.
-
I always thought that Rakim would rhyme very nicely on that slower tempo shit that Dre's occasionally put out in recent years...the beat "In Da Hood" that was given to 50, would've been perfect for Ra. "G'd Up" comes to mind too, that slow grimy material would've suited Rakim nicely.
-
^^^ Yup Straight Up Up! The Instrumentals Dre Gave Eminem For "Encore" Could HAve Been Perfect For Ra Too, It Was Dissapointing To Hear Those Beats Get Farted and Burped On, That "Big Weenie" Shyt Was Wacik AS FUCK, But The Beat Is Bangin! Same With "Rain Man", "MOsh" Rakim Over Them Beats Would AHve Been Nice! Shyt Even Eminem, actually Rhyming Would Have Been Nice!
-
word i always pictured the g'd up beat as something dre did for rakim....even if he didnt, it just always came to mind when it was runnin, dres dark beats are sick, but he only uses them mostly on east coast niggaz apart from the one start from scratch beat, all his dark shit goes to 50,g unit n probably busta, if u remember back on genesis(holla).........yo some of y'all need to check that joint again by the way, i always was diggin that joint but i was checkin it again the other week and it sounded even better today....pretty much all of the shit dre did on the wash ost sounded crazy the other week for some reason.....
i wonder what happened to rakim, i was gona post somethng about it in the outbounds since he said he started his own label n shit.....but nuttins happened........and does he have the tracks he recorded at aftermath or does aftermath own the shit 2?
-
Rakim did that song with Alicia Keys and Nas too. Streets of NY, or NY State of Mind, whatever the hell it is.
-
^^thats joints off the hook
-
i remember dre saying he was going to hook up rakim with 2 tracks in thaformula interview they did with him and premo. and hopefully the album will leak like king t album did after some time.
-
if u want something even more trippy, well mike elizondo said that In Da Club was intended for another Aftermath artist months before they recorded it with 50, but that artist "passed up on it." thats probably rakim because i dont really know any other aftermath artist around that time that dre would be working so closely with.
edit: found it
"“[Dre & I] actually wrote the track six months before, but the artist we were working on at the time passed on it,” recalled Elizondo. “But we felt strongly about the track, so we stashed it away until we played it for 50 (Cent). He loved it, and he fiercely started writing the lyrics. About an hour later, 50 had written the entire lyric. He came back in the room and started singing (the now famous intro) ‘Go Shorty, it’s your birthday, we’re gonna party like, it’s your birthday’.” Notably, “In Da Club” also turned out to be the first cut which Elizondo received a production credit with Dr. Dre. He is now credited as producer (with Dr. Dre) on all of their cuts together."

check my edit

I recall reading somewhere else that in da club was originally intended for Ra
-
damn I love Heat.. thats my favourite beat from GRODT..
WORD! Man I loved that beat..Rakim on the beat, shiat..he could've killed that..even if he wasn't talkina bout gangsta stuff...
-
not really on point, but imagine if rakim actually dropped on aftermath, and then game never got the chance to come out.
-
He recorded like 20 Songs on the math ..
-
In His Interview With The Source About The Album, They Also Mentioned He Recorded A Bonus Track of Some Sorts For Truth Horts Album Called "It Aint Cool" Produced by Hi-Tek...Guess They Scrapped it?
-
In that same article I read about the Family Affair beat, Mike Elizondo talked about how "In Da Club" was indeed intended for another project, believe it or not, he said they were considering it for D12. But it was passed up, then they started polishing it up as a potential Detox track, along with "If I Can't". Then when 50 Cent came on board, Dre gave 50 what he gave him. You could kinda tell that "In Da Club" could've been for Rakim at one point, I always make comparisons to that beat and "The Watcher II", because of that James Bond-like guitar play mixed in.
-
damn i never thought my topic wud end up wit so much info! hopefully Ra will do wat king Tee did and release those cuts in a few years.
So In Da Club, Heat and Family Affair were originally for Rakim Shit! they r crazy beats!
Lol a D12 In Da Club imagine Bizarre on that track

Following the tremendous success of The Eminem Show album (which he co-wrote four songs, including the hit “Business”), Elizondo & Dr. Dre focused on writing with 50 Cent, who had signed a co-venture deal with Eminem’s Shady Records and Dr. Dre’s Aftermath Records. The duo co-wrote four songs for his Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ album, including the breakthrough hit, “In Da Club.”
“[Dre & I] actually wrote the track six months before, but the artist we were working on at the time passed on it,” recalled Elizondo. “But we felt strongly about the track, so we stashed it away until we played it for 50 (Cent). He loved it, and he fiercely started writing the lyrics. About an hour later, 50 had written the entire lyric.
