OB4CL2 Tracklist + Production Credits + 1st Review

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009

So yesterday a tracklist for Only Built 4 Cuban Linx 2 surfaced, but I didn’t want to touch it until there was some confirmation that it was legit. I figured hey, we’ve waited this long, what’s the rush? Well, that confirmation has come, and it includes production credits. The catch is, that while this listing is genuine, it will not be the final tracklisting, as some tracks will be cut from the project before it hits retail.

But wait it gets deeper. The Hip-Hop Chronicle UK has actually heard the album and has posted the very first review of the project as it exists now. Here, they describe “House of the Flying Daggers”, which is the first single and is scheduled to drop next week.

Starts off with the classic Shaolin fighting sounds. I think to myself, this is a RZA beat. As the upbeat track is in full flow, I’m still thinking this is a RZA beat. I’m completely wrong, its actually a J-Dilla beat.

Already bopping my head, Rae fires some dope rhymes and some swagger “I’ve always been an ill dude”. Ghostface then rolls through and adds some style. Method Man is also featured on this joint. This is the album version, but the single version which will drop next week will have GZA on the hook. Its called “Flying Daggers”

Read their full review right here, and hit the jump for the tracklist.

Congrats man. Unfortunately, I too can relate to that situation where a relationship disintegrates during a pregnancy. Yeah, it sucks, but it’s usually for the best.
