Literally played it for months straight when it dropped.
Salute god! This is a great review that really captures the essence of what it was all about.

I saw Raekwon and Ghostface in Riverside, California during their 20th anniversary tour! It was one of the best experiences of my life!

Yeah bro...No question. For me it's my favorite album period I think.
This could be the best wu solo album, to me it’s between this and liquid swords honourable mention to tical

It's crazy to think both Liquid Swords and Cuban Linx were done in the same year. Liked Tical ALOT but I don't revisit is as often as I do the GZA and Purple Tape.

Third best wu solo album I would go with Ghostface Supreme Clientele. Ironman is not too far behind imo.
100% agree ob4cl IS the shit… only for street cats tho. Made my first pair of marble cake blue n cream clarks yesterday long live the legends

Mannn…that’s dope you made the Marble cake Joints. 💯 🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤
Hands down my favorite album of all time, Rza’s cinematic production with all the Kung-fu movie skits and amazingly crafted soundscapes added with the chemistry between Rae and Ghost kicking crime science raps mixed with five percent nation ideologies and that stand out verse from Nas introducing his new Nas Escobar persona made this perfect in my opinion.

Well stated bro. As much as I love the following Wu projects: Liquid Swords, Ironman and Supreme Clientele, it was Only Built 4 Cuban Linx that resonated with me the most.

Classic iconic album💯💯 After this album dropped you had other artist coming out with Hustle/mafioso raps and coming up with other monikers and mafiso alias from AZ "Doe or Die,Jay-Z "Reasonable Doubt", even Nas "It was Written" to name a few but this album solidified mafioso rap although Kool G Rap birthed it.

Yes, that is very true. It did rebirth that lane for the mid 90s but G rap is the original architect.
I prefer ghosface supreme clientele for the best wu album… but man this is dope and easily be number as well

Love that one as well but there’s nothing quite like the sound of mid 90s Rza production in my opinion.
