Yup, right now they're just benefiting off the rumours..

If it really was true, you would think that Dre, Rakim or a more official source would speak on it, a press conference or something.

a press conference? there not going to war they're dropping an artist from label it happens all the time to rappers

Most hip-hop is now keyboard driven, because the majority of hip-hop workstations have loops and patches that enable somebody with marginal skills to put tracks together,...

Unfortunately, most hip-hop artists gravitated towards the path of least resistance by relying on these pre-set patches. As a result, electric guitar and real musicians became devalued, and a lot of hip-hop now sounds the same.

Yeah, but not making money on a Rakim-album all produced by Dre & Primo-tracks is impossible.
Furthermore, Dre, Rakim, Aftermath, Eminem and more have hyped this SO MUCH, that just dropping him without a word seems VeRy unlikely....!

sorry .. its NOT bullshit!

Zack told me yesterday:
At this point there's no new development. Rakim is talkin' to someone seriousily to get a new deal. If it's once finalized and done we'll bring you more information. So stay tuned.


The Rakim site and an interview is comin' soon! So keep supportin' the mic god. ;)
