Raekwon Updates On “Only Built 4 Cuban Linx III,” Promises Kanye West Collaboration

    On this year’s Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang, Raekwon suggested that he would release the third installment of Only Built 4 Cuban Linx, but that there were no immediate plans set in stone.

    Speaking with Wall Street Journal, the Wu-Tang Clan member explained that he’s still mulling over recording the album, and that it all depends on timing. “The fans are really calling for this album, so we still deciding,” he said. “Everything’s gonna happen when it’s time. Right now I’m just trying to continue to move forward in a great way. The next project that I drop out as an album will be powerful.”

    While fans might have to wait for the third release in the series, the Chef promises that a collaboration with Kanye West surface in the near future. “You’re gonna see something soon with me and that guy. That guy’s on fire right now and he respects real hip-hop, he respects me,” said Rae. “And he’s like, ‘Yo Chef, I wanna be down and I’m like, you down, you down, [laughs] so let’s just make it happen!’”

    1. I could care less about a Kanye feature, rae needs to smack the sense back into Rza and get him back on that 36 chambers shit..

    2. Kanye’s a good rapper but he has no place on a mafioso type Cuban Linx album. No rapper does besides Wu, Nas, AZ, and Kool G Rap who have done the theme before. Kanye doesn’t fit but I’m sure he could give Rae some cold, old minimalist beats. That’s the only collab I want to see.

    3. I just got a $829.99 iPad2 for only $103.37 and my mom got a $1499.99 HDTV for only $251.92, they are both coming with USPS tomorrow. I would be an idiot to ever pay full retail prices at places like Walmart or Bestbuy. I sold a 37″ HDTV to my boss for $600 that I only paid $78.24 for. I use ( Bidsget ) . ( com )

    4. may be classic but “hw many rappers u no equate 2 dey name & fame,make a classic,& hit instant replay”-King Richard

    5. Only Built for Cuban Linx – 1 of the all time classic’s in Hip Hop/Rap history!

      Only Built for Cuban Linx II – Good album but not a classic

      Only Built for Cuban Linx III – God Knows

      1. OB4CL II: Was a classic compared to everythig else since 2003. But yeah, the first one was phenomenal, but that was in a completly different era

    6. I like that Rae aint gna be rushed into nothin, he jus gna let it flow and wait for the right energy. Obfcl 3 gna complete the trilogy on some Godfather type shit

      1. What u talkin bout, yeezy makes real music. He would go nicely with Rae, and hopefully he gets dr. dre & RZA to do track also #EPIC

    7. Rae uses the title as a marketing thing. Come on Only built 4…. part 3. This is bullshit.

      It wil never sound that good as the first one. Second was dope but Rae aint that good anymore. Wu vs shaolin was weak.

    8. FUCK YALL HATERS, THAT RUNAWAY LOVE RMX AND GORGEOUS TRACKS WERE FIRE, DO YALL GET PAID FOR THIS?……………..HATIN!

    9. please Rae, BE CAREFUL!!!

      * how about making it Immobilarity II OR Lex Diamonds Story II???

      * of all the sequals OB4CL2 is the CLOSEST to being as powerful as the 1st (Illmatic/Stillmatic, Chronic/Chronic 2001, Blueprint 1/2/3, War Report 1/2, etc)

      * do Immobilarity 2 like this=
      Producers: RZA, Pete Rock, Erick Sermon, Kanye, Neptunes, Swizz Beatz, Dr. Dre, Lex Lugar, Justice League, Alchemist, Ice H2O, DJ Toomp, Boi-1da, Havoc, & DJ Khalil

      Features: Wu, Pusha T, Nas, Black Thought, Lil Wayne, Chris Brown..

      THAT WAY, as you attempt to reach this younger crowd, you do NOT destroy the OB4CL legacy!!!!

      …the saga continues
