Did Dr. Dre mismanage Rakim?

[FlimFlam]

best case scenario what would the outcome have been? an album that came and went with marginal play?

and that wasnt even possible as dre doesn't release anything without a grand slam of hype around it...

this venture went how one should have expected it to... at least in retrospect

Shoulda let quik put em out .: Dre was p*ssy footing around ..

Just like with truth

 

[Da King]

Still hurts

when daz nem was dissin eazy in the infamous argument on the air, kurupt let it be known from the beginnin of the interview, and eazy talkin to him like they been potnas, kurupt didnt want no problems



eazy made daz look stupid he shut his potna in crime up kurupt, and the convo between doc n e had em like


all of their roots actually begin with eazy, in a low key way because e gave dre the lane to produce that what he was hired for, had they never fell out snoop and the rest of em would have been on ruthless

never heard this one before

Rakim talks about in his book.

He was given an advance, moved his kids across the states for school - and still ended in no completed album.

Or is there a Rakim/Dre album in the vault? Anyone know?

There's stuff out there but it won't be getting leaked or anything any time soon.

A few of the beats on GRODT were originally Rakim's.

Probably the closest thing(song) we got from that situation in that era..

Supposedly some songs on The Seventh Seal were intended for his Aftermath album but were either remixed or re-recorded with new beats, I'm not sure on which.
