WHAT RAKIM’S AFTERMATH ALBUM PRODUCED BY DR. DRE COULDA SOUNDED LIKE

[Rakim Allah]

real talk.

Some things are better on paper than in real life... like that "masters of hip-hop" collab album that never happened between Rakim, Nas, Kool G Rap, and some other rappers back in the 2000s that was supposed to be produced by DJ Premier.

People on SOHH were like "why would these great rappers get together to make an album just to flop miserably?"

Don’t forget the Big Daddy Kane and Alchemist album we never got.

I DISAGREE

FROM WHAT WE HEARD, RAKIM SOUNDED GREAT OVER DRE BEATS

A matter of taste...I don't feel Dre was a good match for Ra's style,i could name about 5-10 producers that would have given him more heat,Dre has the name but I am not a fan of his production after the Chronic 2001,too generic.

HE HAS CLASSIX GALORE POST 2001 BRODIE

WE NEVER REALLY GOT A FINAL MIXDOWN ON A RAKIM+DRE ALBUM

I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT IF WE DID IT WOULD BE GROUNDBREAKING

Dre had a pocket and tempo as far his producing goes during that time period.Ra has a tempo he's comfortable on but imo those weren't a good match. Ra needs a backdrop that has syncopated beats, a sample to match his cadence's and a change up. Dre is a great sound guy but his beats during that era were lazy, stagnant and too heavy on simple 2-4 tone melodies,add Rakim's monotone voice and it's a recipe for a snoozefest. Imagine what a Hi Tek,Nottz,Focus or someone like Salaam Remi could have came up with,I think much more adventurous and sonically pleasing music.

wasnt dre also working guys like busta rhymes, xzibit and eminem at the time? i wouldnt consider them the most gangster rappers either. maybe dre just wasnt crazy about the music. also...



> ra's version.

Majority of those links are not real songs. Just random Rakim lyrics over whoever beats There are really only 2 Dre produced Rakim joints out there. After You Die and Addictive remix.

Dre just overthinks too much....

I'm sure he done got drunk and produced masterpieces and then sobered up and started questioning shyt
