Another has been rumored to be signing with G-Ushit...

50, in his effore to sign all the old timers, is now set to get Rakim on board. I guess he's working his way to signing Sugar Hill Gang. Article:

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.

Later, QD.

Rakim will never sign with G Unit. Rakim will never release another album again. Possibly the laziest man on the planet. Greatest Rapper Of All Time? I dont think so. Yes, he probably has two of the best hip hop albums EVER, but he aint done shit in 10 years, hows he going to be the greatest of all time? Basically, I'm callin Rakim overrated, and he needs to get back with Eric B and make some good music again. The whole Aftermath/Rakim was a sham, and was never going to happen. The whole Aftermath/ Rawkwon Cuban Linx 2 is a sham as well, so don't hold your breath waiting for that one to happen.

I hope he doesn't get with G-Unit. I don't consider him one of the G.O.A.T.s, but, as you said, he is a great one. With Eric B, he was the shit back then. I'd love to see them team up. Later, QD.

I hope Rakim doesn't sign with G-Unit. He'd be an instant sell out, and his music will suffer for it. Why did Rakim and Eric B split up anyway? Those two need to get back together and start making some music.
