yep shouldn't underestimate the god, you cant forgot that he jump started the hiphop/r&b collabos with Jody Whatley, the god can flow over any type of production. Pharrell could make hard beats for him like Cot Damn..don't sleep

Ra would've went in on that beat.

Ra needs to get up with the cat that laces Joey Badass, Chuck Strangers. Nice vintage east coast vibe.

I agree with that. But the good kidd song Pharell did with Kendrick show's you how versatile he is. I'm quite sure, he would make the perfect beats to fit Ra's tone and demeanor.

Yes, this a million times.

I dread this Pharell/Rakim combo....Rakim's the God MC, but I don't want him to be in the same boat as Nas and have to rap over some suspicous beats that don't fit him....

Pharrell grew up listening to Rakim and is a huge fan. I'm sure this move Is a good one, dude is a fantastic MC.

This sounds like an unlikely combo but Pharell can bring it when he wants to. Hope he gives Rakim some bangers for the God to spit to.

nikka please,....

Seventh seal only had one bad hook and one poor maino feature as its only detractor.
That was a great album!

one bad hook? the whole album had bad hooks

there was what, 3 decent beats? :ufdup:

Ra never embarrases himself performance wise, but that was shyt music. i defended The Master and still dig it, but i cant defend him not dropping for 10 years then coming back with that trash

Pharrell is one of my fav producers but I don't know if this going to work. I like Pharrell's production more with R&B/Rock artists more than with rappers esp EMCEEs.

the only thing i could get from that colab is Rakim is tryin to get some Egyption type production and neptunes can provide that kind of sound.
