Raekwon - Only Built 4 Cuban Linx Pt. II

Before this album dropped, I was all ready to start talking about how Rae could never put out an album anywhere close to Only Built 4 Cuban Linx, and the title was just a ploy to hype up the album after the lackluster material he's put out since then. I still don't know how to properly praise how good this album is.
