Only Built 4 Cuban Linx

The Wu Tang Clan was unbeatable in 95'. And this mafia epic has gone down as one of the most beloved rap albums of them all. After the satisfactory Tical and the spotty Return to the 36, it seemed that while they would be good, Wu solos would wind up merely small appetizer of good hip hop rather then the main course. RZA's ambition had only begun though and on the next two (within one year, not even including ODB's debut!) he would play director to cinematic masterpieces of rap. The first is this, a gangster flick starring Raekwon and Ghostface Killah. The bullets fly, the champagne flows, and the mafioso sub-genre reaches it's highest height. This is absolutely amazing stuff. The beats are among the finest ever made ("Ice Cream" ranking up there with Brand Nubian's "Slow Down" as one of the catchiest loops in rap). Others bang with the hardest hardcore (Criminology, Ice Water), others whine with mafia woe (Rainy Dayz, Heaven and Hell) and and even with the extra length it never stops hitting you with pulse-pounding crime epics. To the moment the bullet hits you between the eyes.
