Do you remember the episode of Fresh Prince of Bel-Air with this dialogue:
Will: Do you always listen to everything your father says?
Carlton: Yes, don't you?
Will: .......Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeell NO.

not only respect but u cant expect to be

when u aint drop a lp in adecade. let alone the last one wasnt viewed nicely by most.. i mean if he was rippin songs for the last year or 2 non stop then he'd probably do 250k maybegold just maybeeee. but even OG heads might not know its even droppin

 

[sneaktrix]

Must cop, Rakim is reason I am a hip-hop head, or was when it was alive. I'm sure he will deliver and Ra and Premo are always

 

[ptrakarn23]

awaiting this drop, 18th letter + master

 

[maxb7ty]

Yo it leaked this week so I figured I'd bump this. I'm three tracks in but it's hella late right now. I'll just say that I'm AMPED tolisten to the rest of this tomorrow.

 

[carlos tevez]

I'm giving it a spin right now.

All I can is wow...VERY different side of Rakim. Sounds much more contemporary/mainstream than we usually get from Rakim.

I'll reserve judgment until I listen to the album twice over.

 

[illmatic34]

Anyone listen to this?

 

[eastcoastpapi]

[chris steez]

nothing but respect for rakim...but ehh never mind +%%!@% are sensitive here

 

[Master Zik]

I dunno I got play this a few more times. Version I got has tracks with some low %!% volume. How To Emcee didn't even sound like Ra to me.

Some nice joints in the middle of this album.

@ that Dedicated sample. Didn't see it coming but it came out sounding good.

 

[lbruce89]

the album started to pick up once it got to holy are you

from there, i like everything i heard

that was my first time hearing the song

@ him talking about drugs and that extra street crap though

how to emcee is trash

i'll give the album a few more listens

 

[onetwothreewick]

better release is out now

 

[dgk3188]

album out today! just picked it up and going to give it a spin

 

[nocomment6]

heard it wasnt that good.

 

[fl0eticnostalgia]

i'm kind of afraid to give this a listen.

 

[dipsetgeneral]

The official CD dropped today?!

 

[sloane kettering]

hes gonna be at the best buy on Fordham tonite for those in the BX interested....i may swing by...may not...depends on how i feel after class

 

[that guy]

I dunno why but I'm liking Dedicated a lot.
