“New Wu” by Raekwon ft. Method Man & Ghostface Killah
Just when I thought rap was completely taken over by Kanye and his poppy copycats, the Army of the Wu comes through and shows how it’s really done. With Only Built 4 Cuban Linx Pt. 2, Raekwon pulls off another top-to-bottom classic. Joined by every living member of the original Wu (except U-God whose character was killed off on the first Only Built…), Rae makes me feel like it’s the mid-90s all over again when NYC rap was at its peak and there were still new sounds coming out of the rap world.
Is this a sign of things to come or just a last gasp until rap’s eventual death? I certainly hope the former. I also certainly hope that you will be dancing along as you listen to “New Wu” by Raekwon.
Just what the block missing
The two-seater wit the top missing
And two divas wit they tops missing
Now that’s living to me
I’m what these kids is killing to be
But I don’t want my children to be
