you guys may not believe the info in this message. i actually hope you don't cause it will help me out.but i have been fortunate enough to hear some of dre and rakims new songs and they are nothing short of incredible.. i thought dre and snoop were untouchable as a duo but i think dre and rakim are even better. and there are no time constraints like dre and snoop had on doggystyle. on doggystyle, from the intro to whats my name dre and snoop had been able to take their time and put their best foot forward. however the remainder of the album, except for doggy dogg world had to be rushed to beat the deadline. with a 4 day spree of teamwork between dre,snoop, daz and warren g they finished up the album so it could be released in november of 93. Oh My God has no set deadline, cause it is not as hyped as doggystyle was. therefore, dre and rakim have really been taking their time and trying to top every track with a better one. some of the songs that go unused could fillout an entire album and be great.but dre and rakim aren't working to be great.they want terms like classic and legendary to be applied. as for rakim it is business and personal.he is pissed that he rarely gets mentioned as a top mc of all time these days. when hes rappin the mike smokes and when he's done the mike is charred. the words "atomic bomb" could be applied to some of the songs that have been recorded. summer is the goal for release but that may be a little unrealistic . dre is a perfectionist and will take whatever time is needed. premo should be in to put in work in the next couple of weeks and MEl-man has been working with ra when dres doin other stuff. dre wants this to be his best album ever and to date they are on track. dre splits time with this and his other projects.this helps because dre can sit back and evaluate what going on. this allows him to rethink,tinker and change some things. even though i have hyped this up i urge you to keep your expectations reasonable and even better, low.if you expect too much no artist or musician can live up to those expectations.and be patient. the wait WILL be worth it. peace and funky'all, all y'all.

dayumn, sounds dope
Im really lookin forward to this album
But I think u cant compare this album to DOggystyle, and say its better.
the style was way too different to compare it.
but it should be dope
-
Where did you here these songs Mellowman?
-
O yeah and the name Rakim rings a bell but who is again?
-
just a few quick comments in regards to the replies in this message. first of all i never compared oh my god to doggystyle. i talked about the rakim and dre duo maybe being better than the dre-snoop duo. doggystyle was 8 years ago and oh my god is now.the production and delivery are way different. doggystyle was a classic but it was not even close to what it could have been. they had to produce half the album in a few days. dre never got the chance to take his time and finish it the way he wanted. if doggystyle wasn't rushed by the record companies to get out then dre and snoop would have been able to make it even better. but the released product stands on its own and is definetly a hiphop classic. plus you must withhold all judgements until oh my god is released. i won't ever compare doggystyle to oh my god cause they are from different times and the albums are much different. but based on what ive heard oh my god is going to be amazing and the dre and rakim duo may rank as one of the dopest duos ever heard together on an lp.
to the dude who has never heard of rakim...no disrespect but if you don't know who rakim is i feel sorry for you.but go to a cd place online or a recordstore and order/buy Rakim's 18th letter/book of life double cd and eric b and rakims paid in full albums. you will hear in my opinion the greatest mc ever in terms of vocals,delivery, intelligence and rhyming skills. rakim didn't touch people like tupac but his skills overall are arguably better.
and as far as where i heard the dre/rakim songs. the answer is that i heard them in the only place they can be heard and you can't find it anywhere online. you'll hear them soon enough. peace.
-
yeah he is one of the best lyrisist to pick up a mic
+ Dre, proabably the best rap producer ever
= a hip hop classic
i cant wait for this to drop
-
yo mel! can you please tell dre to release hittman?!!?! im really wanting his shit, and this rakim album will be his best..period.
peace
-

i'm gonna cop that shit the day it comes out, for sure. but i'd do the same for the Hittman album, the shit on 2001 was classic.
-
yeah hittman bettter drop . but lately it sounds like dre's been sleepin' on hittman
-
Hittman is coming.
-
nice.. u got any idea when? i've been waitin a long time for this...
-
By Summertime.... if something concrete doesn't happen in the next 4 months start worrying badly.
I was told hitts been in the studio recently, and that Dre had set a deadline.
Plus rumours of a video being done for a track of his (i reckon this is The Watcher (remix) with Rakim, and Hittman on the hook).
http://hittman.igangsta.com/
the dopest hittman page on the 'net ;)
-
Go to Hittman's DJ' site, Ben Baller, there's a link @ igangsta.com for it under the Hittman section.
-
btw... i'm working on some dope dope shit for the hittman page :)
-
IF HE WAS mel man, he woodnt chose a name so similar to his AKA, ya know... but ya never know
but yea it has to be sumone close to dre, or maybe even dre himself
But n e wayz good job wid this shiet
-
Rapquake...He's doing that to give us hints...look how he spells Mel Man (MEl Man)..He capitalizes the ME part...
Ayo, Mel Man, do you know who else is going to be producing on this album? Or is Dre and you the only one's?
-
Man, Now_I_Know, shut the fuck up, he ain't gonna tell you shit, CAUSE THAT MUTHERFUCKER AIN'T MEL-MAN. Drop it, jeez.
-
See how I get disrespected for no reason...85 people said he was Mel Man and yet I was the only one disresepected...
-
"Ayo, Mel Man, do you know who else is going to be producing on this album? Or is Dre and you the only one's?" -Now_I_Know
----------------------------------------------------
People have their own opinions of certain things, but doesn't that look str8 dumb how your ass just popped out wit that question?
-
Well Trauma just sent me a message saying that was dumb of you to dis me for that cuz I said the right thing, because he and most of the people on this board agree that it's Mel Man...How else would he be able to get a hold of these tracks he was talkin about, and is it a coincidence that everytime he spells Mel Man he highlights me...I gues not so there for he is Mel Man, and what you said was wrong...I mean take a look at yaself, son already 10 people said they have no doubt in thei mind that it's Mel Man...
I gues that's 10 on 1...awww, to bad, , so whuchu gonna say now. Ya diss me ya diss tha board muthafucka....
-
aight calm down doggg. yea hes mel man, but u aint gotta argue over it...and everytime he posts dont jus say "OOO HES MEL MAN!", everyone says that ish all the time
-
Well Bitch, don't act like Trauma is your boy now, cause he just told me you'z tha bitch. I'm not gonna talk about this anymore, so you won't wanna bother with another post directed towards me.
-
I never said Traumas my homie...Shit Trauma's been talkin shit bout me for 2 months now, but I just added that Trauma and most of the board agree with me and not you...And dont call me a bitch because you wanna fit in, cuz I know that's just what you're doing...
-
And if trauma wants to talk shit about me, he can say it to my face...
-
Man look whatchall fuckers gone and did!!! LOL now that you straight said it he ain't postin shit no more!! I mean it's supposed to be one of those facts that everyone knows but just shouldn't be said straight up. If he wanted it mentioned like straight-up he woul have said it straight up. I mean i think a reason he doesn't wanna say it straigt up, because he knows us real fans will already know and he doesn't wanna say it straight up for some teeny bopper new fan who would say "hey you were on the dre album!!! oh my god!!" I remember it was either me and crem or me and Mouse who first figured out tha he was mel, but either way just shut the hell up about it. Now i wasn't dissing nobody because i got love for everyone here i'm just saying we should stop so we don't scare 'em off. we had this discussion at the dre forum already. the posts may still be there. Either way look, OVERSEER,please delete all the replies under this topic that speak of him being mel. includin this one i guess. PLEASE EVERYONE!! peace-Tanjint
-
I think this is tight. I don't know who mellowman is and if he is mel man or not but it's tight how he brings the news. Keep it up.
-
