I love rap duets like this, where mans exchange bars back and forth. Raekwon and Ghost, of course, effortlessly sign off an amazing closing down to Only Built 4 Cuban Linx…

In grade 12 I wrote an essay on the “Can it be All so Simple (remix)” track for my English class. Fortunately the teacher (Mr. Liconti!) didn’t have his head up his ass and actually listened to the album after I wrote it. Simply put, the storytelling in this progressive hip-hop album is, even almost 20 years(?!) past release, unparalleled. I can’t speak high enough of this album.
