Yay! Raekwon and his brother DomPerrion sent over an exclusive look at the cover of the album I’ve been anticipating for a very long time….
Only Built for Cuban Linx Part II. And in a hat tip to all the Purple-tape-Purists out there, Rae enlisted Ghostface and the original OB4CL cover photographer Danny Hastings to recreate the classic for the new sequel. Nice!
(the original OB4CL)
The album is now dropping on Sept 8th, 2009 (all good, what’s a few more months to wait?), and Daniel Hasting-directed the video for one of my favorite tracks, “New Wu.” (Dom says they’re editing the next video “Walk With Me” now)

Dope picture
BUT
push backs on THIS project are a little scary to me….

VERY NICE!
I second that SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!
I’m begging you Rae: please make sure at least half the tracks on this album can compare to the original Cuban Linx. PLEASE. Don’t even think about radio or so-called “club beats.” Just make good, honest, dope music that will hopefully be timeless.
I want joints exactly like that “Blue Eagles/Flawless Crowns” and “Kids That Rich”. Those types of beats, that type of flow and slang throw. I haven’t bought a new hip hop album in many years and I will HAPPILY part ways with my cash to get a good album. Hip hop needs this!

I like the original New Wu video better than this one. Sorry, no Ghost, no video.

it wont have the same imapact, ni@@as buyin are soft nowadays, real marsh mellowy
July 1st, 2009 at 9:23 pm
No hate, but I don’t really wanna hear this album. It almost certainly won’t live up to the hype and will ruin yet another legacy. How do I know this? Cuz pretty much all sequels turn out the same way. We should all learn to leave well enough alone and keep moving forward instead of looking back.

that other picture is cool …but thats somethin you use for the inside of the cd…………this is a proper album cover
