		<description><![CDATA[You know...? I have hearing a lot of account from various people around, that Dre` is bi-sexual!!! And that Tupac was going to tell it all about being a faggot!!! Now... Let me give you little history about me. I use to be in a Hip Hop band in Los Angeles, CA. The name of this group was called, Rip Goverment (we were all into ISLAM). All of us where from various parts of the northern, north-east, or east coast area of the country. &quot;I, myself, originally from Alton and Chicago, il.&quot; And started my rappin&#039; in L.A. since 1985. And use rap with a lot brothas around. I even use to rap with Snoopy too (Snoop Dogg &amp; D.P.G.). My group have this war with N.W.A. &quot;We didn&#039;t like the gangsta way they rhyme.&quot; Because it promoted too much hate and voilence; etc.. And we didn&#039;t care too much for Easy E. &amp; Dre`, mostly. We all use to preform at the same clubs around L.A. And my group were working on tapes in the recording studios, in Hollywood. Trying our best into putting an dope album together. Well anyway.... I kept on hearing rumors about Dre` being gay then.... But all i thought that it just somebody he may pissed off for something. But i kept on hearing this particular rumor about him...... But nowadays, people are really sayin&#039; its really true about Dre`! I&#039;m like WOW! Dre`z a FAGGOT!!! Now! That&#039;s a Low Down Dirty Shame!!! We don&#039;t no FAGGOTS in Hip Hop!!! POINT BLANK!!! And Rakim may have founded about him. And that&#039;s may be the reason for Rakim desolving the connection with him. &quot;It&#039;s like dealing with the DAM DEVIL!!!&quot; &quot;You dig what i&#039;m sayin&#039;, my brotha? SALAAM]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Rakim,

I will say this.  Rakim is true to his heart.  He is following his heart and his own path.  This may or may not lead him to another hit record.  At the end of the day I trust  that brother will sleep well because he is living in integrity and speaking his own truth.  Like Ra said, &quot;thats good enough for me.&quot;  

The rest is up to you, and Rakim will say - Peace]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[RAKIM is the GOD EMCEE, who introduced every style, method of writing, diction, concepts, etc. to lyricism. Shit, even Jay-Z (the most consistent emcee ever) said, &quot;GOD EMCEE/ ME, JAY-HOVA!&quot; on &quot;TAKEOVER&quot;. This is because, although everyone knew that S-DOT was rich before rap, JIGGAMAN wanted that status of immortality!

Some of the posts about his relevancy are valid; however, music should always be created because you still have the creative &#039;juices&#039;, so to speak. As The 18th Letter said, &quot;WITH THE MIND/ THAT IS ONE OF ALLAAH&#039;S BEST DESIGNS/ AND MINE&#039;S IS GONNA STAND THE TEST OF TIME/ WHEN I RHYME!&quot; Hence, his train of thought never dates, because he is on a different, more abstract level in regards to his writing process.

WHO CARES??? Probably New York, over 30s, and anyone into real art! People in London, UK care.....I guess that if Juelz put him in a video, then Dip Set, N.Y.s most flamboyant clique  (even that swagger comes from the &quot;PAID IN FULL&quot; album cover) care, that he&#039; returning like JESUS!!!

Good for RAKIM, KRS-ONE, and KOOL G. RAP, hittin&#039; people with new albums again.

BLESS, from &#039;THE RONALDINHO OF BEATS!!!&#039;.
