Rakim - Welcome 2 The Hood (Prod. by Dr. Dre) (previously unreleased)

released on the J-Love compilation mixtape as is many of the other unreleased songs of his, this is apparently produced by dr. dre for Rakim's Oh My God album. Aftermath wanted Rakim to make more gun talk songs for his Oh My God album, which is why Rakim is swearing on this track something he usually doesn't do. Perhaps one of the creative differences Rakim had with Dr. Dre

DR dre Usaully uses piano chords as the main melody AND also his beats have a heavy bass line this one dosent sound like his gangsta beats

[siwooot]

@SolotanProduction those are the only kind of beats dre's been doing in recent years so now everyone thinks thats the only kind of beats dre makes, but when he uses a sample instead of a keyboard player it doesn't sound like the typical beats with the piano etc, listen to Time, After You Die, Sosa vs State, Firm Fiasco, these don't sound like typical dre beats either, but theres more to dre beats then what you get in those fruity loops packs

@menace10100 Why does he have to switch it up?? He's Rakim!! He invented the word "flow" for christ sakes.

I'm glad Rakim came to his senses and left Dre. This shit was corny. Don't even sound like him. Rakim is great on his on.
