Em got smoked by MGK last year IMO

 

[5 Grand]

If Rakim dropped an album nxt month would it move the needle?

If he had the right producers and features.

1. A track with Erykah Badu
2. A track with Mary J Blige
3. Two or Three tracks produced by Dr Dre
4. Two or three tracks produced by DJ Premiere
5. A Track with Nas and/or Jay Z
6. Also features with the newer generation like J Cole, Drake & Kendrick.

If he had a smoking hot first single I think people would be interested.

Before either of those 2 dropped an album Rakim was already considered The Goat

Well hes had 10yrs off to write a modern day classic.

Those dre tracks wouldn't see the light of day. Rakim a yr older than Jay how wide is the gap between the 2

He hasn't put out shit, so Ima say he has.


Either way, nobody who's been in the game for 35 years is gonna dominate the charts. He'd most likely get some type of critical acclaim, but that's it.

 

[Duwop]

Rakim should drop a dope 16 on a hot rnb chick song.....

That would get him more bump than a solo track in 2019

 

[5 Grand]

Well Michael Jackson and Prince were still doing things when they died. Granted they hadn't had a hit in 20 years, but they were still around.


I think Rakim could make a hit song under the right circumstances.

 

[Goldie]

[Chi-Town B]

MJ had a couple hits in the early 2000's
