    1. haha YES, The Chef about to cook another album. The title is deeper than you clowns fail to realise. He is emphasizing how influential FILA (which was the staple of clothing attire in the hood in the 90s) was to hood success. How that psyche as influenced the world with hip hop, hence the word International.

      1. Yup, I agree entirely, lets see if this holds up but I can already see it, I remember that too, good eye

      2. ok and that shit was in the 90′ this is 2013 ..rae can stick to his roots without naming a clothing company that flopped miserably.. he needs a harder originaly title for a raekwon album..its not complicated enough

      1. I know it’s fake but this actually sounds dope…

        As Justin Bieber gets older he will gradually enroach more into hip-hop, and that’s not a bad thing in any sense.

    3. Long time Wu fan..and I have to say that title is terrible..Come on Chef.You could have cooked up something better than that.Fila hasn’t even been a relevant sneaker in decades.Showing your age there Rae.Move with the times.

    4. Raeknow and Wu-Tang are a flop in 2013…
      deze niggaz aint no Weezy or Drizzy.
      YMCMB da new Wu Tang. dey stip harder den da Chef and ODB. swag

    5. This title is the kind of shit that makes us black people seem dumb

      what a fucken stupid wack ass corny title from an old man like Rae, worse he’s from the legendary Wu Clan

      Dump title

    6. Mainstream Hip Hop is Dead

      Mainstream Hip Hop be str8 jacking these dayz

      wack artist be jacking album titles from dope lyricist

      1st Ross jacked album title, ‘God Forgives, but i don’t’ from Cory Gunz

      and now Raekwon be jacking an album title ‘F.I.L.A’ (Fuck It, Lose It All) from Ras Kass, to this wack ass corny title (Fly International Luxurious Art)

    7. Think Rae is broke, and going for bling bling hip hop to pay the bills – go to school, get a diploma and get a job to pay your bills but just don’t fuck up the hip hop art with this bling bling not think shit

      1. What the hell are you talking about? Rae’s been talking about having the flyest gear and luxury items for most of his career. You’re acting like he just started doing it.

    8. and it’s going to be W.A.C.K……..Rae, just give it up already man..or Have GFK executive produce your albums seriously.

      1. Why? His last two albums were really good. Cuban Linx 2 is already considered a classic by some.

        All his features in the past 3 years have been excellent.

        What is your evidence that it will be wack exactly?

    9. Been telling niggaz, Rae been wack – he’s the weakest link in the Clan. Allhiphop once did an interview with RZA where he said, for years he did not understand what Rae was saying in his rhymes. Thats a fact, Rae has been saying the same thing in his tracks for decades

      rewind and replay

      all Rae talks about in his tracks is being international, whether Columbia, Italy, Brazil but all these countries associated with either wealth or mafia boss. He would always talk about drugs, hanging out with the mafia at some country stacking loot blah blah blah blah – tHEN YOU THOUGHT GAME WAS bad with all the name calling – this nigga be name dropping countries

      RAE AINT NO MC – HE SPITS WITH THE SAME FLOW OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN!!!!!

      1. How in the hell can someone so wack have two certified classics and get an album of the year as stated by TIME magazine. FOH! FUCC BOI

    10. cant wait for this shit..

      @ observer- ur jsut crazy for that comment..his flow yes it is the same alot n i can kinda see what u mean w the lyrics but raekwon spits shit u got to think about and u need to rewind bec a dumb mf might not understand it right away

    11. but i think he should change the title.. raekown always comes up w smooth, original album titles and u get thats a rae album…his album sounds like it would be a gucci or 2chainz album title..

      1. The title is played out Rass Kas already came with that,..N.I.K.E. AND F.I.L.A.,..
        A.D.I.D.A.S….
        Reakwon still nice tho!!..

    12. “all Rae talks about in his tracks is being international, whether Columbia, Italy, Brazil but all these countries associated with either wealth or mafia boss”

      What do you want him to talk about, shopping st Costco, and how hard it is to find alligator shoes in his size at the mall?

    13. Wow, so many dumbass comments on here it’s almost sickening. Anyway, I’m always looking forward to new material from Rae. Always cooking up some 5-star quality music.

      1. The title is played out Rass Kas already came with that,..N.I.K.E. AND F.I.L.A.,.. A.D.I.D.A.S…. Reakwon still nice tho!!..

    14. lol The original comments on this were from 2 years ago. He got pushed back for 2 years and still no one is checking for him. The album with sell less than 3000 copies.

      1. Why the fuck are you looking forward to an Alchemist beat? It’s he same shit he’s been making for a long time, weak drums and shitty loops.

    15. The 2nd cover art is fucking wack the first one okay has the chef ever tried to loose weight every time I see him he’s just got slowly fatter over the years…..anyway. Album should be a banger raek got a great ear for beats only built part 2 was a classic and shaolin vs wu-tang had so many bangers on there.

      Im looking forward to this apart from the 2 chainz, French Montana verses should of got styles p and jadakiss instead these new niggas just aint built for the job

    16. There’s a banger on here called ALL ABOUT YOU featuring Estelle, it might be the best babe orientated track from the Wu after Method Mans You’re All I Need… real talk
