Fuck that garbage off and u have a concise and very well constructed album of classic tracks.
Disc two is excellent too, but for me it's more like everything that was left after putting together disc one. Which is not to say it's of a lesser quality. Just not an especially coherent whole. Kinda like the Wu-Tang White Album.
Funnily enough, after recently going through all the classic Wu albums (and the shit ones too, actually), for the first thyme in many years, I can say that I think Cuban Linx is the standalone greatest hip hop album of all thyme. So Rae has got that one at least, imo.
