How well will Rakim sell?
« on: June 26, 2003, 10:54:18 PM »
Really, how well do you think this will do?  I don't think it will do as good as everybody thinks....I'm not taking away anything from the album, cause I'm sure it'll be tight, but I'll bet a lotta people don't even know who Rakim is!  Believe it or not, there's a lotta people that don't know Jay Z's/Beyonce's "Me & my girlfriend" is a remake!!!

Well it depends on the promotion, but anything less than platinum will be a huge suprise. All real hip-hop heads should buy this album, and with a catchy single (i.e. 50 Cent's "In Da Club") the teenyboppers will eventually catch on and push it to multi-platinum status. Rakim is not as marketable and charismatic an artist as 50, though, so we'll see.

18th Letter went platinum. With Dre backing this album up and the amount of hype surrounding it I am sure Ra will have another platinum plaque on his hands.

True, true... but like you said all i think he needs is a catchy single like In Da Club.. and it could push the album to platinium status.

Anyone who is a fan of hiphop should cop this album. Anyone who claims to be a fan and doesnt should be ashamed..  8)

I reckon it will go double platinum in maybe 2-3 months.
