Cuban Linx is my favorite east coast hip hop album of all time. It’s just perfect in every way. Production, lyrics, storytelling, guests. I know most people will say Illmatic is the greatest east coast album ever, and while the album is worthy of such praise, I personally prefer Cuban Linx cause it’s just as perfect yet almost twice as long. The production is what really pushed it over the top for me. Sonically it’s the best Wu Tang related album ever and maybe even hip hop album ever period.
Respect Rae for keeping it 💯 because he had the weakest verse of the three and the 15 minute effort might explain it. NAS verse was one of all-time greatest verses in rap history. But, Ghostface verse, was equally impressive and showed the separation between him and Rae.
