Raekwon - Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II

Which is why Rae is front and center in pretty much every Wu album.

i thought ugod had some falling out with rza...ah the rap world drama's.

in any case, calling an official wu mc 'weak' is pretty funny if you ask me.

he's not even close to being elite on the mic, but he's not a chump either.

is cappadonna on this?

unfortunately. ten bricks comes to mind.

this album is really really good, a lot better than I expected it to be. heard it 3-4 times and it honestly gets better with every listen. album of the year, may be a bit premature but I'm saying it lololol

Apart from a couple verses on the Ironman album, Cappadonna is straight up wack...

The 10 bricks is awesome. I'm all about that sinister plucked string sample loop. Cadence samples coming in and out in the middle of the verses. First Rae first is tight. Chorus is hood. Capadonna verse reminds me of something U-god would spit on one of his better days in both tone and and flow. Ghostface seals the deal. I hear all these songs as beat+verse marriages.

Dope track no doubt.

absolutely, straight fire. But any other wu member could have brought a better verse than that... hes not even a wu member, juts an honorary side kick. The beat is crazy to, have yet to hear it on a dope ass, bass crankin system though, feel like that would give those screeching guitars some grounding.

I've always loved that Dilla beat, and it sounds soo much better here than the Jaylib remix they first used it for.

hasn't cappadonna basically been a member for some time now. i ended that question with a period cause it's rhetorical. (yes.)

dr. dre produced songs plus "Surgical Gloves" should've been cut out of the album, imo. still a solid album and raekwon's best since the first cuban linx. my favorite hip-hop release this year thus far

EVERYTIME i see this goddam title i hallucinate out of the corner of my eye 'Only Built 4 Cubase'

definitely Rap Album of the Year.

I don't think they fit or belong. They belong on a mixtape, not this album.*

*imho

Ok, I could agree with the Dre Tracks, but Rae on an Alchemist Beat. Fire!
