On August 1, 1995 Raekwon released his classic debut, Only Built 4 Cuban Linx… Co-hosted by Ghostface Killah, the RZA-produced album for Loud/RCA featured various members of the Wu-Tang Clan, as well as Nas.
Speaking to HipHopDX last week, Raekwon revealed that next month he’ll be releasing a “Deluxe Gold Edition” of that album’s 2009 sequel, Only Built 4 Cuban Linx…Pt. II with new bonus materials. “I’m really excited about that,” said Chef. “There’s gonna be some new material and stuff that y’all never heard before. I’m just tryin’ to just secure my fan-base. I’m lettin’ ’em know that Rae is here. I’m not tryin’ to do no five-year hiatus no more. I’m tryin’ to be as relevant as I can right now.”
Having regained critical acclaim last year (including HipHopDX’s Album of 2009) by way of his fourth album, Only Built 4 Cuban Linx…Pt. II as well as guest-work, Raekwon stressed that longevity is his key goal. “I’m workin’ hard and I’m losin’ a lot of rest to stand the test of time, and let everybody know that I’m still here.”
There is no word when in August the Deluxe Gold Edition will come, but Rae clarified to DX this evening that it will include new remixes and unheard material.
HipHopDX will keep you updated about the release date for Only Built 4 Cuban Linx…Pt. II: Deluxe Gold Edition. (July 17)
UPDATE: This evening, it’s been revealed that Only Built 4 Cuban Linx…Pt. II: Deluxe Gold Edition will feature two new songs, and five new remixes.
The new songs include “Rock Stars” with Wu-Tang Clan affiliates Inspectah Deck and GZA, as well as “Never Matter To You,” which features fellow ’90s Rap peer Bun B. Additional remixes include “New Wu,” “Broken Safety” and a Travis Barker remix to “Penitentiary.” The Game also jumps on an “About Me” remix.
Videos are also included to the project, such as “Catalina,” “Surgical Gloves,” “Canal Street,” “New Wu,” “House of Flying Daggers” and “Have Mercy.”
Raekwon is gearing up for an international tour with Wu-Tang Clan.
That’s cool. Rae’s definitely been putting in a lot of hard work since CL2 last year. Don’t stop Rae, keep doing your thing.
Don’t stop working OB4CL2 and Wu-Massacre either bro. Your 200,000 will hold you down. More will come.
he’s already released those, dumbass

hope he puts it on on vinyl like that ob4cl2, maybe a 3 or 4 disc LP
Shit, like anyone gives a fuck about ol’ RaeGay.

People care more about a legend like Rae than your bitch us. Keep enjoying Soulja Bitch’s penis.

RAE REALLY CEMENTED HIS STATUS WITH CUBAN LINX PART 2. HE SHOWED NIGGAS THAT HES HERE TO STAY AND THAT NIGGAS BEST NOT FUCK WITH HIM. ANY BITCH MADE FAGGOT HATIN ON RAE OR THE WU SHOULD GET CLAPPED THE FUCK UP ASAP
Rae has never been close to my favorite Wu member, but his status in the game is certainly secure.

Ok listen up here’s whats up Macon and surrounding counties, Yall about 2 get that I.D.P.’s thats (Indictment Papers), that was the F.B.I. and the charges pending against yall, Tax Evasion (That comes from them fake insurance and tags, the tags pay county taxes, Racketeering( that comes from Making $ off an illegal company or thiefs; stealing shoes from ur company, stealing clothes from your clothes from your company, giving things at a cheaper price than advertised,Bribery( Getting those Ga Department of Labor Checks and u are employed; Thats stealing Stimulus Money) and Last but least Conspiracy Charge(Thats doing hand signals,passing notes,meeting, and congregating when a criminal matter is involved; the charge that u r going 2 get is called a Contining a Criminal Enterprise and it comes with a mandatory 25 to Life sentence ( Webster Dictionary states that Mandatory means: Required,at least ,nothing least: there is no plea in a Contining a Criminal Enterprise charge, the plea is 25 to life, and jury trial u looking charges that give u time in the 100’s as far years, have u ever wondered, how a muthafucka will get 40 yrs for 1 charge, 50 yrs for the another, and 70 years for another, well this how it happens, and the legal prosecuting age is 10 years of age to adult, but dont be worried there is 1 man that can save u his name is Michael Jamaal Ballard, he’s 5’8, 140lbs,he’s got on brown dickies, and a white wife beater, u see the Federal Bureau of Investigation will always get reports on me, they have a specific department, the same that reported Albert Einstein, and from what I saw in there eyes this was there last day following me, 5 years of just following me around and never seeing and drugs, and ya u dont have 2 have drugs involved 2 be Kingpen or Queenpen, just being a part of a criminal enterprise automatically gets u a charge, because every real nigga,trap nigga,or nigga ever had any encounters with the F.B.I, Know that they could give a fuck about the drugs and weapons they find, they are always looking for the phone, and the text messages and phone calls alone can be evidence 2 convict u,
Because i would never testify on a nigga, always 4 my niggaz
and oh yeah if u on the network that they set up u will mandatory get an Indictment paper or a subpeona, now who’s laughing at who.
what the fuck are you smoking

thanks Rae for continuing to shower us with ur lyrical brilliance!
looking forward to Rock Stars, i’ve been trying to get that song coz it was originally on the tracklisting for OB4CL2 but was cut from the album
cool
Dope but wish it was a physical album. I dont buy shit from itunes
Wu since day one. Fucking great to see Chef doing good. His rhymes are visuals.
Hope to see another wu album with the sound he catched on OB4QL 2. Something like the RZA back on his darkside
