like u guys im hella anticipating this album, it has the words CLASSIC written all over it BUT like someone mentioned before i hope that rakim doesnt come out with a 50 cent like gangsta album cause that aint rakim

his single should obviously be a radio friendly song, preferably produced by Dre ;D and featuring Em,50 or Dre

However the rest of his album should be some hip hop shit, none of that pop shit >:(

I say he will go platinum no doubt beyond that i dont know

and yes the teeny boppers will be all over this album since they all on Em's and 50's nuts but word will get out that this is a HIP HOP album and the hype will kinda die for them
BUT US REAL FANS KNOW WHATS UP ;D

Platinum is an under-estimation in my opinion. 18th Letter went platinum, and it had a smaller anticipation level than this album does, and it didn't have the backing of Dr. Dre.
This album is going at least 3x platinum, my estimate would be about 4-5 like someone else above said.

you people should quit over-hyping this, talkin that it'll be a classic & all. I hope it sucks just so i can laugh at all of you.

BTW i doubt it will suck & Ra is one of my faves, just pointing out you shouldn't over-hype

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.

I'll call it here:

I think it will sell about as well as Paid Tha Coast 2B Tha Boss.... I'm sure most westcoast heads will feel it because the Dre sound and/or affiliation, but sales wise I believe it will take a handfull of months to touch Plat... But it will put Rakim back in the game and should lead to bigger things... Guest spots, movies, and more music... For those who say that it will do the big 4 or 5 Plat????  I'd be happy for Ra, but to that these days you have to have major radio play and I don't see it...

ME? i don't badmouth everything to do with Dre.... i'ma fan, i just think he's overrated and speak the truth about his biting. i rarely bash eminem, and don't bash 50 anymore since the hype kinda died down. i don't think i've ever mentioned anyone else from aftermath/shady except the Game & Proof, and i am a fan of both
