Lettuce appreciate this album
I'm not gonna even front...when I first heard the album in full, I was disappointed. I really was expecting the same sound and dynamic of the first. But after a few more listens I fell in love with the album. @ISO...I agree, its nowhere near the level of the first but it's a great album. There's even some tracks on there that would fit comfortably on the original like 10 Bricks. That track is unadulterated fire. RZA even said he wished he produced that track. Then you have standouts like Have Mercy (that Beans verse
), Gihad (Ghost story
), Broken Safety, Cold Outside, Ason Jones, New Wu, Pyrex Vision, Penitentiary (underrated as fvck Ghost and Rae storytelling track), House of Flying Daggers (
)...some really dope ass sh!t.Album would have been better if Rae would have included the skits RZA intended to originally have on it and if he left off a few tracks that really weren't up to par quality wise like Canal Street and the Dre tracks (not a big fan).
Ghost and Rae has been saying that they're working on Cuban Linx 3. I'm hoping it drops and I'm hoping Ghost takes more of the lead in regards to the sound and direction of the album. If so, it could be better than Cuban 2.
if he would have cut like 4 joints and added "walk wit me" then i would label it a classic....10 Bricks is still 
tho...4/5....a certified banga it is....the best album of 2009 it was !

Rae still had it
And still do
And still do
still bump it all the time, it restored some feeling
The original is Hip Hop music at it's finest imo. I never heard an album before it, or after it, better.
Only two better to me.

Only two better to me.
love OB4CL, but I think I might like "Ironman" better than it at this point. I LOVE ironman. every song on there.
Ironman a classic...but OBFCL was special. Stayed in my tape deck for years.
