Only Built 4 Cuban Linx Vol.1 [PA] - Raekwon

...himself and goes in as only he can with some raw flows which have him going in well as he rhymes through a few tales that you tend to associate with the Mafioso scene as he brings in lots of drug references and the hustles that he’s on to get up in the world. **Five Stars** 4. “Criminology” This was one of the single from the album and one that seems to stand out as a result as you see that it features some empowering beats that pull out even more ...
...the dense flows tha are only slightly lightened when you hear the brief hook breaking up his raw, raging run through the track like no others possibly could. **Five Stars** 6. “Rainy Dayz” Sampling Michael Jackson’s version of “Ain’t Not Sunshine”, this lengthy one features Blue Raspberry singing on the chorus to the track to give it a soulful feel to it and from this you find that it rolls out with a fly riff that really defines the Mafioso eras ...

...'Guillotine'. The complex imagery and well-written lyrics sets Only Built 4 Cuban Linx above other solo Wu-Tang albums. Go and buy this album if you fancy a whirlwind tour of Wu-Tang's New York, and one of rap's most complete LPs. 18 tracks for a fiver, go cop this now! ...

...dropped (on “Verbal Intercourse”). The only track which isn’t dope on this album is a one minute skit with Raekwon talking about biters other than that this whole album is absolutely classic from the intro to the outro. The best solo Wu-Tang album there is and which for me is superior to their collective albums as well! ...

The first solo effort from the Chef is arguably the greatest of the Wu solo album's, a true classic hip-hop album without fault. Never do you get the urge to fast forward, due to Raekwon's razor-sharp lyrics, coupled with thought-provoking verses from Ghostface Killah and excellent production from the RZA. Contained within are classic tracks such as 'Ice-Cream', 'Heaven & Hell' and 'Glaciers of Ice'. Faultless LP summing up true hardcore east-coast ...

it would be difficult to class this as a solo effort for the simple fact that there are few tracks with just raekwon seeing though ghostface killah co-stars in the album and other core members of wu-tang also feature heavily. However this is still a classic, raekwon delivers his style perfectly over the wonderfully produced tracks by the RZA. Any fan of the wu-tang clan should buy this album no doubt, each track is sublime with the beats, melody ...
