    You welcome. Stumbled on it by an accident. Was a good find though.

    This is worth watching because there's a lot of history.

    I was reminded that Steve Riffkin of Loud Records was a guy bringing a big record label and distribution to artists like Wu-Tang and Big Pun which was cool. Rae mentions that he was given $500,000 for OB4CL and they were laughing how Steve took a bunch of heat from other people at the record label, chairs getting thrown, but Steve Riff always stuck up for the artists.

    Then Rza gets on and talks how they made Incarcerated Scarfaces in like 15 minutes and he talked about how Raekwon had one of the better work ethics among all the artists and he said that Raekwon is one of the fastest writers and can write a verse from scratch really fast and then flow it.

    Rza said that Rae and him met in the 3rd grade and Raekwon was an only child but Rza had lots of brothers and sisters and family. Rza saluted with gin and tonic and Rae was on the John Walker (ouch) and I could tell Rae was feelin it, lookin like he sweatin.

    Rae gave Rza props again for even coming up with the idea of starting a rap crew. Rza somehow was able to remember when he thought of the idea and even remembered what sandwich he was eating - pastrami and cheese. Rza mentions how the labels were coming for Rae and how Gza had gotten a quarter mil but Steve Riff really wanted to sign Rae but Def Jam was interested too. But Def Jam got Meth and Steve pushed for Loud to get Rae and offered lot more than other labels.

    Rza talks how Rae was from Stapleton and Ghost was from Park Hill and how those neighborhoods were different.

    Rae talks about what "Only Built For Cuban Linx" actually means 1:13

    Ghost gets on Rae calls him an incredible mind, they talk about their chemistry. They went to Barbados, got kicked out then went to Miami to the Pelican hotel and wrote the album.

    Ghost says he was 25 in his prime during OB4CL so that makes him 50 now

    Later Meth and his son Raekwon get on. Meth named his own son after Rae. Meth shows off a large jar of marijuana. They talk about how they met in the 5th grade and how Rae introduced Meth to rappers in the staircase and that Rae is the reason Meth began writing raps to begin with.

    There were other people I would skip. The Jim Jones and Fat Joe portions were meh, not worth watching. The Loud Records director of a bunch of Rae's video came on later and talked about how they filmed videos for some of the songs on the album.
