Raekwon - Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... Pt II

[Mcthuggin99]

10/10

there isnt a track i dont like on it

my faves: HOFD, Black Mozart, Gihad, Ason Jones, 10 Bricks, Catalina

[Jin10304]

Broken Safety has another kung fu intro plus an outro

Have Mercy has another kung fu intro

We Will Rob You has a kung fu & Slick Rick intro ala Childrens Story

[Sultan Stringer]

[TRONIX]

I can honestly say that this is a weak album overall

There are only around 4 tracks that are good

House of Flying Dagger is easily the illest track on the album and 10 Bricks is ill even though its a re-used beat

The Dre tracks are terrible and Rae choose a weak Alchemist beat

The features are alright but nothing special and got to say Masta Killa spat the sickest verses and Ghost done his thing on a few tracks

After all the hype it really was not worth it. The beats lack creativity in that they are mostly too simple and dont have that Wu sound.

Even on the past few Ghost albums he at least had many dope beats so I think it all boils down to Rae having a really weak ear for beats

I think I will listen to the Memory Man mixtape for then this album

I would give this album a 6/10

"The beats lack creativity in that they are mostly too simple and dont have that Wu sound."

Bullshit, how you say Godfather, Flyin Daggers & We Will Rob U arent Wu?

wow your the only person i've read who didnt like this album. are you sure you ok? i'll get back to you once i actually hear the album and tell you how fuckin stupid you are

[TRONIX]

Some of you hardcore Wu stans will find it hard to say something bad about the album because you was dickriding Rae for so long wishing it to be something it aint

[Ghost In The 'Lac]

^stfu hater before your posts get deleted. im doubting youve even heard the album.

weak beats?

fuck outt here, EVERYONE was basically sceptical before tonight, now EVERYONE has bascially been amazed at what theyve heard

not just here, all over the internet places ive seen since it leaked

[Jin10304]

Aint no dickriding here, the album does have its faults with some reused beats, plus Im not the biggest fan of the Dr. Dre beats. Sounds like everything hes produced for the past few years and About Me sounds like a Big Bang throwaway

[shogun85]

Cuban Revolution came way harder than Cuban Linx II. I rather bump that Memory Man shit.

[djskillz]

All I have to say is wow. This album really made my day. I couldn't have asked for anything better. 9/10. I honestly have no complaints for this album.

[Literate Type Asshole]

really really great. very surprised at just how great. i could have done without the dre beats, but they arent bad by any means (id just have preferred a j dilla or rza or havoc type of sound). and really this album is great enough that you can easily accept the little bad parts because they get lost in a great whole, like the weaker tracks/cappa verses/skits on supreme clientele. or spot rusherz. like if you fall in love with someone, it probably isn't going to bother you all that much if they have a chipped tooth.

it doesnt just rehash cuban linx either, it has a much more explicit all-up-in-your-face 00s feel to it. if cuban linx was directed more like casino, cuban linx 2 is more like heat (and yeah i know heat was released the same year as the original cuban linx....man im tired)

oh, and i dont think it could be argued that in 2009 rae isnt several times the MC he was on the original cuban linx. the main argument you could make against the original cuban linx was that it wasnt really good because of rae, but because of the production and guests. not the case with cl2, quite the opposite

it's not saying a whole lot, but easily the best wu-related album since heavy mental that isn't a ghostface album. sorry i doubted you rae

definitely copping this on vinyl

[MaskedAvenger]

This album is killer, how anybody can hate on this and claim to be a Wu fan is beyond me.

[Jin10304]

Correct me if Im wrong but is that also Suga Bang Bang on Mean Streets singing the chorus?

[SHEEPISH LORD OF CHAOS]

one of the best lp's to drop in the 2009 so far
