bigted Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 "Word is Talib Kweli ended his relationship with Geffen Records. During a recent episode of "Rap City," the BK emcee revealed that he had inked a label deal for his Blacksmith Records. He added that he intended to sign underground standouts MF Doom and Jean Grae and that he hoped to sign Rakim to his roster. A source at Warner Music Group confirmed to SOHH.com that Kweli had a deal with the company. However, the source said the labels' artists had yet to be confirmed."

JumpinJack AJ Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 That's dope. It's great seeing artists like that coming 2gether. Rakim would do so much better on that label than he would ever do on Aftermath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigted Posted August 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 Well since all the wack rappers are getting together, it's about time that some talented ones join forces, I wouldn't mind hearing a few Talib/Rakim collabs. :interesting: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-o-e Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 Dope. But yet again I wouldn't mind hearing Rakim on another Dre beat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfuqua23 Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 Actually, I read that even if Rakim were to sign to some other label, he'd still want Dre to produce a beat or two for him. Maybe that's thought changed, but who knows. This is some great news. Hopefully, it goes into full effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
