RAEKWON: The Making of “Only Built For Cuban Linx 2″

Wu-Tang is for the children. And Raekwon is for the people. He made this album for you. It may have been a long time coming, but all good Chefs know that you can’t rush a gourmet meal. It takes time, planning, and careful preparation. And of course, sometimes you have to put out a few fires…

The Chef lets you in on the trials and tribulations surrounding the long awaited, often delayed new album, Only Built For Cuban Linx PT. 2. Rae also admits he made this album for the people, because that’s what they asked for. In fact, he goes on to say that artists need to be more cognizant of what the fans want. He says, even though it’s not in his blood, he might even do an auto-tune record if it became highly requested. I’m going to get my Andy Dufresne on, and write a letter a day, everyday, asking the Chef to cook up an auto-tuned track. Just because.

We salute you, Rae. The new album is fire. Thank you.
