Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... Pt. II

Postby DrRapid » Sep 15th, '09, 20:39

I really enjoy listening to this album now. It's great to know that Raekwon is able to still release such a good album after 14 years since the classic "Linx" album was released. This second part is fresh! From the first song until the last it feels like a great album and I think this would deserve an award for Best Rap Album. But, it isn't all about the awards or the sales after all. I'm just glad to know that such a good album has come out of Hip Hop. My favorite tracks are: "House Of The Flying Daggers", "Black Mozart", "10 Bricks", "About Me" and "Kiss The Ring".

I'd quite like to know what people think of this album, share their positive and negative views on it. Hopefully there will be members who'll have heard this.

It's definitly a good album, however, I feel like it didn't live up to it's hype. It could have been better IMO.

I do think it lived up to it's hype, I was actually expecting something a bit more disappointing. It's definitely hard to make it any better than the first OB4CL. What didn't live up to it's hype was The Blueprint 3 for sure.

Blueprint 3 was definitely a disapointment.

^I'm not saying that the whole album is trash, all I'm saying is that the package is lacking.

I never expected BP3 to be good (most sequels aren't that hot), so I wasn't disappointed. :y:

"House Of Flying Daggers" is amazing! I love it the way Inspectah Deck opens the song. I also love "Black Mozart", "10 Bricks", "Ason Jones", "Kiss The Ring" and "About Me". It's just a great album which deserves more attention. It was 4th in the Billboard. That's good although I wish he could of made it 2nd. :sweating: Ah well, it's not all about the sales.
