Cuban Linx II

[mickill]

Looks like GZA's going to be riding shotgun on this one and Ghost is only going to be featured on one or two tracks. 25 tracks are done and RZA's supposed to be selecting the best 13. RZA did most of the beats and Dre did two. Dilla did one and Scram Jones did one. Oh, and GZA's son did one. It's also executive produced by Busta Rhymes.

There's also an article in The Fader (http://thefader.com/blog/articles/2005/12/20/in-the-kitchen).

The songs he did with Busta and Pete Rock on his Vatican mixtape have been ridiculous, so I hope he keeps it up with the tracks on the album. Personally, I think it's going to be as good--if not better than Fishscale. That's my word, son.

[The Notorious LOL]

I liked Baggage Handlers.

[mickill]

Yeah, that's pretty much the sickest song Rae's had since like 1995. I'm hoping it's on the album. And that it's the worst song on the album.

[The Notorious LOL]

yeah right, I bet he'll put out another stinker.

[mickill]

I'll bet you that you're wrong. Matter fact, I'll put a mill on it.

[Tzar]

i'll buy it (!)

[mickill]

Thank you for having some sense and good taste, Tzar. When this classic drops, you and I can just sit back and tell these onionheads how dumb they were for not respecting this "all new saga".

According to the Chef himself:

"We could never reinvent the same potion, but my whole thing is the storyline, the characters that play inside this film. I call it a film because I'm used to writing portraits. I'm not just a dude that writes a bunch of rhymes that have no demeanor to them."

Damn. Listen to this man's vocabulary.

[yeahwho]

mickill's all like, "Stick your arms out and make all kinds of weird racket because this plane isn't coming down until these snakes get tired of flying it" and I'm all like "OK, maybe, but it could all of a sudden get too cold to fly for reptiles" .....so we'll see.

[g-mile7]

Ghost>Raekwon


thats how I feel


but I wouldn't doubt it bout OB4CL2 being a good album I mean he put so much work into this LP as you can see

http://72.10.38.72/intelligence/images/raekwon.jpg

[mickill]

Ghost>Raekwon

Well, yeah. Naturally Ghost is the better rapper. But Rae's album will be better than Fishscale. Mark my words. I'll put another mill on it.

Yes, I agree.

[roosta]

why is busta rhymes involved with this?

Yes, I agree.


we will see...in the end it's all going be opinion anyway...but you can't trully have a sequel to OB4CL without Tony Starks

is that a compas in the bottom right hand corner, or some foundation?

[mickill]

why is busta rhymes involved with this?
They connected on some old fly shit, apparently.

Actually, they were hanging out in Rae's hotel room, if I'm not mistaken. Busta talked to Rae about doing a real sequel to Cuban Linx, and started telling him what kind of beats it should have etc. Rae asked him if he wanted to executive produce it for whatever reason, and just like that, one thing lead to another, yadda yadda yadda, boom, they put their heads together and they're making an album that's going to be better than Fishscale.

According to Bussa bus (http://www.allhiphop.com/hiphopnews/?ID=4201) last year.

State Of Grace remix (http://www.spinemagazine.com/music/january/raekwon/stateofgrace_rmx.mp3)

[The Notorious LOL]

haha yeah because going off of Busta Rhymes track record, this album will have 4 good beats and the rest will be bullshit.

[Kid Presentable]

I don't expect much from this, but I'll pretend I knew it would be dope all along if need be.

[The Notorious LOL]

yeah I'll do the same thing. Six months from now I'll be all "I knew that shit was gonna be ill!"

[mickill]

Nah man. You're not respecting my gate, yo. You're not prescribing on these darts I'm throwing at ya'll niggas. I'm sayin, son. Busta came in like you can't have none of these soft joints like some of these happy go lucky niggas out here that's tryin to build off of these sandcastles niggas put up in ya'lls backyards and shit, son.

[Kid Presentable]

Yeah but if Busta had more predicates for niggas and less oxymorons, fam would spasticate over his shit.

[mickill]

Don't make me smack fire out ya ass.

[Kid Presentable]

The best niggas go through this, son.

[mickill]

Ok, you can shut up now.

[Kid Presentable]

So you're looking forward to it then?

[Monsieur Decuts]

wake up in the morning with a little bit a money, bitches subject to go crazy.

i personally don't think busta's done anything good since the scenario...hopefully that changes

[mickill]

I don't even like Busta. In fact, there've been points where I pretty much hated Busta. But so far, he's proven to be a real asset to this project. I can't even front.

this all comes down to the fact that you love OB4CL 1 and are hoping its as good as that. Also the fact that you'd die defending OB4CL being better then Supreme Clintele...thats what this is all about'


just won't give Ghost the edge huh?Tony Starks is Ironman you can't fight him cuz he keeps coming bum heart and all

[mickill]

No, I think Supreme Clientele is a little better than Cuban Linx. I've said that many times now.

[g-mile7]

No, I think Supreme Clientele is a little better than Cuban Linx. I've said that many times now.


haha :) I was just playin man'

I wasn't. I'll kill you and your whole crew, mike.

looks like a compass with a piece of that bomb he got taken off streethop.com


Yeah you read it right Part 2 of the cinematic, theaterical, criminology Only Built 4 Cuban Linx 2 will have Maximillion aka. GZA and Rollie Fingers aka Inspecta Deck replacing Tony Starks. As was reported from the New Scratch Magazine. But dont be throwin hissy fits, This all falls on Tony Starks. After Ghostface's "Bulletproof Wallets" album Rae&Ghost were supposed to work on OB4CL-2, RZA gave them a lot of beats, but everybody had deadlines to meet with their own label and it wasn't unified as irt supposed to be so it was scratched.

The the beats RZA gave to Rae for OB4CL-2, Rae was planning on usin them for The RAGU album (Rae and Ghost United) but that album was too put on the shelves. So last Summer RZA called the Whole Wu-Tang to his new home he brought out in Southern California to work on a New Wu-Tang album everybody showed but Tony Starks, Cappadonna, U-God and Method Man. So GZA and Rae was in a zone and knocked out a few songs, GZA told RZA that he will do a Cuban Linx album with Rae and GZA told Rae too and he was down. RZA and Rae recorded 25 songs for OB4CL-2, with tracks from Dr. Dre, J-Dilla and Scram Jones that they are whittling down, and a Press Time there is no TONY STARKS APPERANCE ON THE ALBUM, he's working on his New Album "FISHSCALE" and promised an 11th hour contribution, he gave his word 2 RAE.

So on the OB4CL2 there will be a plot point that will be explain on the album how Rollie Fingers and Maximillion replaced tha brutish Tony Starks. GZA said he aint tryin to replace Iron Man. And Rae said this album is going to CRUSH THE FIRST ONE. RZA played some traccs off of OB4CL2 and said that he never play his music early, so you know im on a mission.

[roosta]

as good as this may be, naming it "cuban linx 2" has already damned it to failure. making sequels to classic albums never works.

[mickill]

The Carter II was just as good as the first.

[g-mile7]

The Carter II was just as good as the first.


I disagree. But thats mainly due to a "sale-out" factor (lyrically on point topics though meh beats: just like JEzzy a Southern rapper over New York beats) I still stand by "Reciept" being a damn good song though

[mickill]

Update:

Raekwon’s management has told Wu-Tang Corp that the highly anticipated "Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II" is almost finished, if not already finished. According to Raekwon’s management the production credits are shared 50/50 between Dr. Dre and RZA but the final tracklisting has yet to prove if it will be the end result.

The whole Wu-Tang Clan will appear on the album, with more guests still to be announced.


Roof Top (http://www.sendspace.com/file/3rop71)

[mickill]

I obviously pulled the trigger a little early with this thread, but I think it's happening now.

And THIS (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jP1PliAiuc&eurl=http%3A%2F%2F2dopeboyz.okayplayer.com%2F&feature=player_embedded) is some vintage Wu. It easily could have come out during their heyday. It's like a lost track or something. YES, I am talking it up like that. They even went back and got Daniel Hastings (who did the art direction for 36 Chambers and Cuban Linx) to direct the video. My only comment is that Meth played the biggest part. He seriously kills it.

[checkyourprez]

3 years later. haha.


yea though, its a good track. i still dont think its coming out august 11th. hope the whole album has a similar sound to wu ooo, id be happy. better than most other shit coming out these days.

[The Notorious LOL]

if the whole album is similar to this, its a win.

[RobMoney$]

Don't blame yourself for this thing being pushed back soo many times no one can keep it straight, Mike.

That song was the truth tho.

[adam_f]

It's nice just seeing Rae, Ghost and RZA in a video together after the whole 8 Diagrams debacle throwing the W up. It feels like 95 again and Goddamn Meth kills it. Even if the album doesn't live up to expectations, this song far exceeded any I had before this song.

[roosta]

That song is great..

It's like the took a timemachine back to 96 and made a video.

[Kid Presentable]

I've listened to New Wu 2700 times.

[adam_f]

Between Blackout 2 and Cuban Linx II, I'm not quite sure if my iPod can handle any more excitement.

[checkyourprez]

dont forget about ugods dopium my dude.

U-GOD FEAT GHOSTFACE KILLAH & SCOTTY WOTTY - TRAIN TUSSLE


is some fucking heat right there. personally i am looking forward to dopium and cl2 just the same. i honestly think cl2 is going to be dissapointing. (i hope i am really really wrong on this) but i just think the expectations and what cl1 means, and to try and do a continuation in 2009 just is a lot of pressure to really live up to.

ugod is one of my favorite in the clan and i dont think he gets the proper respect he deserves. hes never been commercially viable so i dont think he has anything to gain in that regard by trying to go that rout in 2009 and just is trying to put out fire to put out fire. if train tussle is any indication of that whole album i will be a very happy man.

hes responsible for the picture of ghost and rae. but not the actual artwork and everything.

and that looks like a decent tracklist, but im not sure how much i believe it to be the real deal.

[mickill]

Well, if it's real, I'm just glad that New Wu, Surgical Gloves (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdniFrNqCww) and G-Hide (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxFCM7tPXHY&feature=related) are on it. I'd be kinda surprised if they actually used Criminology '09 though, since that sounded like some strictly for mixtapes shit.

[The Notorious LOL]

At least Necro is giving out beats to someone worth a shit.

[mickill]

I dont see G-Hide on there, unless that was a working title.

[mickill]

G-Hide seems to fit the whole Cuban Linx sound more than Surgical Gloves would. And Nas should have been on this. Guess those Dre tracks never made the cut either.

[checkyourprez]

looking forward to this ...

10. Broken Safety (feat. Jadakiss and Styles P)

Nice.

At first it wasn't sounding like it was going too good. But I think there were definitely a few heaters in there, and no blatantly bad songs (I'll admit, the Elton John sample on Kiss The Ring induced a mild pause moment, but it should be alright). Apart from whatever already leaked (all bangers), Canal Street, Catalina and 10 Bricks all sound official. The one Dre beat sounds like something he forgot to give Jay for Kingdom Come. Unless Catalina is another Dre joint. If it is, then nice one, Dre.

[mickill]

And it's nice to see that G-Hide/Gihad is on it, and that Criminology 2 isn't.

Yeah, Just listened to Catalina again. Definitely Dre.

[checkyourprez]

i knew that we will rob you joint wouldnt dissapoint, that sounds like fiiiire.

im still debating if im going to buy this or not. under normal circumstances i would, but the amount of delays and other bullshit that went on with this makes me question if i would raekwon to have any of my money.

jesus this is probably one of the best Dilla beats Ive ever heard.

[g-mile7]

seems like the Dilla tracks will end up being the hardest....more in line with the 1st Cuban Links than alot of the tracks on this LP. Good to hear new Rae FINALLY.

[roosta]

"House of Flying Daggers" is amazing

[The Notorious LOL]

it leaked. I will give a review later.

[mickill]

Here's mine:

1. Return of the North Star 5/10

4. Pyrex Vision 7/10
5. Cold Outside 7.5/10
6. Black Mozart 8/10
7. Gihad 9/10
8. New Wu 10/10
9. Penitentiary 7.5/10
10. Baggin Crack 7.5/10
11. Surgical Gloves 9/10
12. Broken Safety 9/10
13. Canal Street 9.5/10

19. We Will Rob You 7/10
20. About Me 7/10
21. Mean Streets 9/10
22. Kiss the Ring 7/10

The Dre seems a little out of place, but other than that, this is a seriously consistent album. No filler/garbage at all. Rap album of the year hands down.

[g-mile7]

agreed...really well constructed album. Kills BP3...and to think he has enough quality for a Volume III is crazy if true.

[mickill]

BP who?

[checkyourprez]

just saw it. bouts to digest what hopefully is some mouth watering shit.

[The Notorious LOL]

10 bricks is so nice with a lot of bass. This album is fucking great.

20. About Me 8/10
21. Mean Streets 7.5/10
22. Kiss the Ring 9.5/10

8.3 overall. very good IMO. not really a weak track in the bunch. all pretty good, with some bangers in there for sure.

however it lacked the banger after banger after banger ect. that CL1 brought.

obviously it was going to be impossible to live up to the first one. but it was defiantly a valiant effort. i love that theres no skits really, no club shit. just good hip hop.

some have been saying best wu album since Supreme Clientele, i wouldnt disagree with that.

[mickill]

I have to say, I'm a little uncomfortable with this version of New Wu, but only because my ears really got used to the original SOOOOs with the "weee" at the end. But other than that, the whole thing is next to perfect.

Not only do I agree that this is the best Wu album since Supreme Clientele, but I think it has some of the best Ghostface moments since that album. He kind of steals the show every time he pops up, even on the little skits and when he's just talking shit.

[Tzar]

^ cheers for the pm, mate.
i'm upto 'we will rob you' on the mp3 player - will listen to the rest tonight on the plane.

really enjoying it. the dre beat does indeed stand out like dog's balls. it isn't shit though. (y)

[Planetary]

just finished house of flying daggers.

all good so far

edit: just foudn out house of flying daggers was a J. dilla beat. sick.

[Kid Presentable]

Deck is incredible on this. His flow never really has switched up, but he's always linked great bars together. Even Masta Killa, while a little underwhelming, does his thing. Moreso than a Masta Killa appearance in 95 would have.

I like the Dre tracks much more than I should.

[roosta]

This is a seriously good album...stand outs..."Flying Daggers" "Gihad" "New Wu" "10 Bricks" "We Will Rob You" "Kiss THe Ring"

I love the Elton sample...

[mickill]

I still think Meth's verse on New Wu is kind of hard to top. But Deck does his thing too.

This is the first rap album since Hell Hath No Fury where I've been able to just listen to it from front to back without skipping anything. Minus the intro. That Papa Wu shit should have been cut down to like 30 seconds or something. But everything else is marvelous.

"Yeah yeah, I got you, huh, you want some of these donuts?"

[roosta]

The biggest mis-step on the album is the hook on "Catalina", really detracts from an otherwise great song.

[mickill]

That ain't cologne, it's the smell of this money...

I agree it's a low point, but my neck still seems to respond to that song every time it hears it.

[The Notorious LOL]

yeah my chief complaint has been minor bits and pieces here and there. No solid songs I dislike.

I've also noticed that when I heard it, I liked it....but I didnt have the instant OMG ITS SO GOOD response I did with like...Fishscale. I think thats a positive thing though, because Fishscale lost replay about 2 weeks after it dropped. Most of my favorite albums of all time got a favorable response from me initially but took a good 2-4 weeks for me to really absorb how much I really liked it.

I've listed to it front to back 5 times since it came out, and I have really enjoyed it. The songs are perfect length, the albums production is consistent...there are no fillers, and every member of the Clan sounds as strong on this as they did in 1995.

Good looking out. It's not great, but 75% better than the duds on Blueprint 3.

Im gonna go ahead and submit this to the "best albums of the decade" after careful consideration. Granted, its a late contender but it has staying power.

Also bought BP3. Mainly because I'm a completist, but also because I'm hoping it'll grow on me.

[Deep_Sea_Rain]

Picked CLII up this morning...I didn't listen to many leaks...I wanted a virgin listening experience.

Very, very good shit...it definitely doesn't disappoint up against it's predecessor. Very little RZA, no U-God, and no track with Nas disappoint...but those are minor complaints. My favorite tracks were...

House Of Flying Daggers

I was kinda surprised that U-God wasn't on there considering every other member of the Clan is, and that Rae actually appeared on Dopium so it wouldn't have been a stretch to assume U-God would be on CLII. Struck me as odd.

Also bought BP3. Mainly because I'm a completist, but also because I'm hoping it'll grow on me.

are there bonus tracks?

[mickill]

Yeah....no.

[Mr Films]

Yeah....no.

yeah, picked it up today and saw.

I've also been slowly getting into CLII. At first I thought it wasn't my cup of tea, but I'm kinda coming around one song at a time.
