Then Ghost and Rae gave them an out the blue shout out of Wu-Tang forever..... then them boys dissappeared.

Last I heard, I don't remember which, one of them was on the west coast messing around with Ice T and financing porn. but that was yeeeaarrs ago, so

I think it was Smoothe that was making moves with Ice T. I saw a vid on YouTube with him and Ice a few years back doing a live show.

Spot Rusherz is a fantastic song. KIM is not. Have they even performed that KIM shyt live?

OK. I'm done. I love Cuban Linx but even I can admit that Spot Rusherz was filler. Even Rza admits this:



14. “Spot Rusherz”


RZA: “Spot Rusherz” was another example of that zone. I wasn’t really feeling the beat. I was done with Rae’s album. Another time I was making beats for GZA. Rae and me got a similarity. We workaholics, we dedicated to the cause. It’s one of those things where he came in and aired it out. And to me, it saved the beat. I still don’t like that beat. I still wanted to get it off the album. The two gun shots at the end: Just in case you got bored, I was bringing you right back.



LMAO @ the line "Just in case you got bored"



But I'll let you tell it.

it's a dope ass album, and a personal classic

it represents the bad boy sound 100%... beats and features were off the chain

I read somewhere back when this album came out that dr dre saw lil cease somewhere and told him how much he loved the album, and cease was mind blown lol

it's a hell of an album. It's also more of a feel good album.

It's another one of those albums that sounds dated today because it perfectly epitomizes a certain sound of the time.

It got shytted on cause of that cover though.

But as soon as you hear that basic staticky dusty lo-fi piano loop and drum pattern after the intro, you know its gone be some serious shyt.

It's hard as hell not to smile and nod your head when "work It out" is on, right

I'm well aware of RZA's disdain for Spot Rusherz and I could care less. Havoc almost deleted Shook Ones Pt 2. It occasionally happens with great artists - they think something they make is trash, when in fact it's dope. And as RZA said, Rae saved that track. Beat was dope but not stand-out incredible. Rae came with a ton of personality and delivered some of his best storytelling rhymes on Cuban Linx on that song. In essence, saved the track.

Spot Rusherz is still a better and more memorable track than KIM

Besides, isn't there a video/article somewhere that reveals Rae wasn't feeling "Ice Cream?" but put it on the album anyway because it was the closest thing to a single for the girls. Yet that gets a big crowd reaction. Funny thing is I agree with dude. One of my least favorite songs on the entire album.

 

[Mr. Negative]

but that's my point: Sound Bwoy Buriell is fukking brilliant and a rap anthem. "Stand Strong" is also fantastic.

But lettuce be reality - can you say the entire album is brilliant? There are other strong cuts I didn't mention but there's also stuff like Timz N Hood Chek, Wrektime and KIM that are meh. They fit with the album but not exactly memorable. Besides, the album didn't really have any "vulnerable" moments where the emcee stops being hard and just says some real ass personal shyt. You need that kinda shyt (and do it exceptionally well) to creep past the 4 mic mark.

entire album is brilliant.

PNC is about as vunerable as you was gonna get

I've seen this album in a posters avi

Hands down one of the biggest slept on albums of the 90's...More then likely because their 2nd album was weak so when their 3rd album dropped it got overlooked. This album should have been their 2nd and they coulda had a shelf life that lasted just a lil longer
