Raekwon Reveal He Absolutely Hated 'Ice Cream' Track

[KingsOfKings]

“I hated ‘Ice Cream’. That’s crazy, right? It’s funny ‘cause, I loved the beat. The only thing I didn’t like about the record, I felt like it was too soft for Cuban Linx. When I tell you everybody fought with me, even Ghost was like, ‘Nah G, this is it.’ And I was like, ‘Nah, it’s too soft. We need everything hard! Gutter!’

”It wasn’t like I wasn’t on my chick thing, I wasn’t just focusing on that at the moment. I just wanted a hard album. A solid album. I loved the record. I was never mad at it being on Cuban Linx. It was just when it came down to doing videos, really ampin’ it up, I was like, ‘Nah, I ain’t really feelin’ it.’ And then you know, the shyt just end up poppin’ off on the radio and they was playing it.“ — Raekwon, Complex Magazine 2012.

“Watch these rap nikkas get all up in yo guts”

Method Man hated it too. He never liked being a sex symbol

Good thing he listened.

 

[BrothaZay]

This is why actual producers are needed. Not just niccas who make beats

Eh.. I know he saying it, But I call CAP for shock value. Lol First of all..it was a SINGLE. He went the fuhk in on it! So did the others.

Nobody can't hear that beat and think this not gonna be the one with the caliber of nyggas on it. Lol

 

[Metal Face]

You need songs for women but just keep to your style

Rae historically doesn't like anything. He calls a bunch of ish wack, even if he's on it or it takes off

This is basically like Biggie when it came to actually having singles for Ready to Die

This is why MVPs don't necessarily become great coaches/GMs

IIRC he wasn't even that big on being a solo artist and prefered the group dynamic.

Cappadonna High Key sucked on that shyt.

Could've left him off and had Method Man do a verse instead of just the hook
