    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>I guess Rakim may prove that after the aftermath, there is still something after that. Ever since the rapper left the Aftermath label in the summer of 2003, he seems to have struggled to find a home. After hearing about numerous offers from a number of recording labels, nothing was ever confirmed, but it seems as if 50's G-Unit may seal the deal with his one time idol as his artist. This may not be a surprise as 50 Cent has already acquired established artists on his roster such as Mobb Deep, MOP, and was trying to acquire Mase before things with P Diddy went sour. In addition, it was rumored last year that the G-Unit general even tried to add the late Tupac Shakur's catalog onto his roster, promising to boost sales and bring better light to late rapper's posthumous remains. If true, 50 Cent may be closer to sealing the deal than we think as the God MC performed for the G-Unit line on BET's Rip The Runway show. If anything is ever confirmed, it will be interesting to see the reaction of Rakim followers as many established artists that have joined G-Unit Records such as Mobb Deep have been chastised and abandoned by some of their loyal fanbase for making the move.</div>http://www.streethop.com/forum/article173609.htmlI sincerely hope this is bullsh**. :thumbdn1:

    Noooooo!AZ and Rakim don't know what they're doing to their fans... I guess as long as they are still awesome I don't care that much.

    I actually got the news and link from Lakesground...so don't hate. It was there when I was scoping for Laker news. I really do hope this is bullsh** though, but I guess if it weren't we would know.

    if this happens G-unit will become more popular and rakim would sell more, both sides would probably get stronger because then rakim would get the benefit of workin with dr dre and eminem more. he'd sell like crazy.

This isn't gonna happen, just some fake rumor.
