Rakim Possible move to G-Unit

[Shawn Nutt]

Lloyd Banks feat. Rakim - You Know The Deal (off of Rotten Apple)

so youre sure its not going to happen...?

This doesn't make sense. If he couldn't work with Dre, how is he going to work with 50?

exactly why Ra won't sign with gunit

-T

But Rakim won't be working under Dre for the most part if he signs to G-Unit - it'll probably with the likes of Sha Money XL and Storch so he'll have more "artistic freedom".

If Ra makes some dope music under G-Unit, then I ain't complaining as long as he doesn't say "G-G-G-G-G-Unit!!"

Now that I've come to think of it... Didn't Rakim leave Aftermath because it was distributed through Interscope, and Jimmy Iovine was forcing him to put out pop joints?

...G-Unit is also part of Interscope...

Shit yeah, that's a good point. Maybe because he was under Aftermath alone, Iovine had more say over the output.

Iovine might not give so much of a fuck about the G-Unit sub-label; after all if he did, that shitty Mobb Deep album would never have come out.

^^ Mobb Deep have had some great commercial success with 50's Outta Control remix, remember that.

I know, great track that was. Best track on Blood Money too, which says it all; a remix of a 50 track shits on the rest of your album?

exactly, Ra did NOT leave because of Dre. Dre and him worked together just fine (you heard 'after you die' fuckin fire),Iovine even liked the album, he just wanted dre to get his r and b chicks, 50, and Nate dogg and cats like that to do hooks for the record.
 but yeah it was iovine, not dre that drove ra away. And that's why it'd be pointless for him to go to G unit

this is going to be fun to watch.  you know if the shit doesnt work out the way 50 wants it to, somebody about to get dissed.

Great news. Can't wait Rakim rapping about bitches shaking their asses in the club.

[T-Dogg]

Yeah great I'm dying to hear Rakim rap 3 verses while 50 sings a hook about being ready to pop off in the club cuz his heart turned cold 

Haha, nice one. +1

Don't see this happening though. Rakim on G-Unit would be totally FUBAR.

[XaNdEr]

Remember when Kokane was supposedly signing to G-Unit?  Remember when Daz said he and Kurupt were signing to G-Unit?  Remember when it was rumored Guerilla Black was signing?

There have been constant rumors going back and forth about who's signing and who ain't.  I highly doubt this is true.

you forgot ras kass, lol.

lots of rappers supposedly signing with g-unit, but i hope its true though, at least 50 got the money and the power to enable rakim to reach a massive amount of people plus i doubt he will really put his own twist on the albu, i think they will just let rakim do his thing with some dope producers....

can be really dope.
