Rakim - "Oh My God"

[Jome]

yea, I agree with Inc.
December seems suitable for a big album release like this will be.

Fuck having the album under the X-Mas-three though, if it drops 23rd, then there will be a very noisy X-mas for me

LoL, yeah.  Just look at the album targeted for November release last year:  Warren G, Nate Dogg & Mack 10.  All got pushed to December for the X-Mas buzz.

I think the single should drop sometime in November.

LoL @ Incognito editing my post, instead of quoting it.

With the recording of Rakim’s Oh My God LP wrapped, after completing work on 50 Cent’s Shady Records debut, Dr. Dre and Mel-Man will be going on hiatus for a few months to work on material for Dre’s hip-hopera Detox.

Aftermath's Kirdis Tucker said to definitely look for the album in 2003.  Looks like our hopes for this to drop this year are gone.

Am i the only one thats heard cold feeling? It was produced by ayatolla and it was definatly recorded since he's been signed to aftermath cos he quotes it a few times, but i doubt it will make the album cos it was on some mix tape a long time ago, and not good enuff to be classic

yea, almost everybody on here heard it.
It was dope, but not classic.
I hope it doesn't make the CD in it's current form.

The lyrics on Cold Feeling were dope as hell, but the beat was weak - just like the majority of Ayatollah's beats.

Another long day has winded down in the studio.  DJ Premier shuffles his way thru Dr.Dre's studio in a very swift manner.  The man looks beat, the expression on his face seem to point to lack of sleep and rest. Premier brings a handful of DATs and zip drives to Mel-Man and Dr.Dre. "Damn you some picky Cali niggas arent ya?" exclaims Premier, as he hands over his precious demos.  Mel-Man and Dre's eye's gleem with delight, as they put the DATs in the machine and start to examine the latest Work of Mart.  For about 30 seconds Dre's head is in constant movement,jerking up and down in unison with the beat.Dre and Mel-Man look at each other, and give an almost silent agreement.  Mel-Man tells Primo "Yo we dig the Funkadelic chop you did,but we gonna get Scott and em to redo the bassline.  Is that cool ma'man?".  Primo replies "No question, I trust you and Dre. Ya'll my niggas.",as he dips into another bag he brought over.  Dre takes a closer look and to his suprise, Primo dishes out about 10 old rare grooves and latin jazz records.  

As Premier and Dre go over the old collection, they talk and laugh as if they were old friends who have never left each other's side. Dre states "Me and Primo have an odd history together. My nigga DOC used to stay up near Austin, at about that time Primo started sending out demos from his old dormroom in Texas. Me,Cube and Yella travelled down to Texas to see DOC, but instead we ran into Primo slanging mixtapes at Texas A&M."  Primo chimes in "Man that was garbage back then.I was just strugging to pay for some books and having something so a nigga could eat.  Dre was cool and shit,we exchanged numbers gave daps and went on our own ways.  I didnt run into Dre until him and Snoop were in New York around 92-93.  He came by the D&D Studios and at that time me and Eddie Sancho were helping DJ Evil Dee engineer a couple tracks for the upcoming Black Moon album.  Dre played us The Chronic and it was a reality check for me.  I trashed alot of the beats I was doing at the time,which would have been for me and Guru's album Daily Operation." As Dre takes a sip of some coffee, Primo adds "Me and Dre, we opposites but we bring each other up, he inspired me to pick up the bass guitar and some live drum basics while hes starting to fuck with the the SP."

The SP1200, an ancient relic of hip hop production, a tool which has been championed by Buckwild, Pete Rock, Large Professor and Evil Dee, is now being put to use by Dre."  Cats forget I used to do the grimey, James Brown sampled shit." Dre exclaims, he goes on and says "The two joints imma lace Rakim with and the one im trying do with ma' man Primo, is just a reminder of how I started soundwise in the game."  Dre then suprises me with an impromptu playing of "Cruel World", a straight from the gutter, no frills approach on the fate of mankind guest starring Ras Kass and Xzibit.  Dre time stretches a sped up,nearly unrecognizable Donald Byrd sample. Im treated to three vibrant layers of various drums that have been EQ'ed, filtered and tweaked out, Primo comes to my side and whispers in a chuckling voice,"I loaned Dre a Roy Ayers live bootleg record I copped in Germany. He owes me for them drums kid."  Other producers in line for "Oh My God" are.  Kayne West, Alchemist, Fred Wreck and Ayatollah.  "Oh My God" is slated for a late November release date on Aftermath Records.

The album will still drop in 2003.  But this is from some magazine.

[.: God Is One :.]

Its always been november!!! someone wrote that he met Thruth Hurts on the streets and she said it was a 2003 release, that bull!!! Str8 up! Why shouldnt he drop it this year!!? The hype isnt going to be good in 2003 cuz people will get tired of waiting ya know!?

But this shit about only 3 songs from Dre!!? Thats bull 2!!!
He said it himself that he will be producing the majority of the album!!?
Nah! 3 songs are bull!!! At least 6-7 cuts from the good doctor is what im expecting.

November is when the shit goes down and the face-change of hiphop again thanx 2 Dr.Dre!

Peace
