Only Built for Cuban Linx II Apreciation Thread.

[Lord Mecca]

Stillmatic is a certified 5/5 album OB4CL2 is not. OB4CL2 is 4/5 album

I'm gonna be honest and as a certified Nas stan I should be embarrassed to say it but Stillmatic wasn't classic breh... and I agree nor was OB4CLII... but Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II might be better. We gonna have to agree to disagree

the Necro beat was fire

On the low I'm a Necro production stan. I have so much Necro music and Necro production you think there's something wrong with me... that being said I was disappointed with Gihad Necro has a lot of heat... the beat suited the album but fukk man... Necro coulda laced him

ILL BILL gave Rae an old Necro instrumental cd and Rae picked his fav beat off it and necro said he could use it for free.

back from like 06 to 2010 or so Bill was working with Raekwon a lot. I mean Bill was working with a lot of big names too but had Rae on several projects











i'm sure the homie and coli legend @mobbinfms knows of these joints

Ob4ql2 is a great sequel album... Def underrated

Yeah I've heard most of these. I wonder how many crazy beats were on that CD Bill gave Rae?
Imagine an EP of Rae over Necro beats from the 90s

 

[Ziggiy]

Crazy as this sounds, i heard that exact Nas verse on the Rich & Black beat a year prior to it came out on youtube, I'm pretty sure it's still on youtube but i can't remember the title.

Makes me wonder if it was originally a Nas song that he passed on to Raekwon.

Or maybe i was high as fukk & this didn't actually happen

It's confirmed that it was an old Nas song that he gave to Rae

Dilla

Idk if rza did any mixing ala supreme clientele but the dilla tracks were always included in the origibal version.


Album needed a few things reworked but i consider my ultimate cuban linx 2 mix to be the albun since all the songs came out for it anyway.

Pyrex vision
10 bricks
New wu
House of flying daggers
Walk with me
Ason jones
Rockstars and smoking barrells
Cold outside
Broken safety
Have mercy
Fat lady sings
Kiss the ring

How is it not classic

Rae should just release Cuban Linx projects from now on. It's about the only thing he's good at.

Calling em Cuban Linx won't automatically make them good

 

[ShaDynasty]

Very dope album but not touching the original. Its too long and the Dr. Dre beats were unnecessary. They cut some bangers off the album as well, I have a custom version at 17 tracks that flows perfectly. Theres so much heat there like Broken Safety, 10 Bricks, Gihad etc but the actual LP plays like a mixtape because Rae didn't bother to cut off the fat.

I hope when they make the third edition Rae goes for a more Wu based sound and keeps the length down.

 

[Funcrusher]

The one album I want most, and that could in theory happen and be dope, would be a Cuban Linx III produced by Roc Marci and his team, Alchemist, and Q-Tip for the drums. Let RZA oversee it but not produce. Rae in 2019 is by far the best member in the Wu, actually seemed to have gotten better with time (that song with Smif n Wessun recently, my god he's floating over that beat).

Rae doing his Cuban Linx thing on that type of production, would be a classic. One can dream tho.
