^^^^^^^HOOS otm

It's just, of all songs don't touch that one. If they were rapping about aliens of a sudden this album would be called Raekwon, Ghost and the Kingdomof the Crystal Skull.

thankig u am0n

built only 4 cuban democracy

I think I'm the only dude on ilm who liked immobilarity

let's pour some out on the curb for the american cream team

I move like arthur ashe against god
4 racquets 8 balls and no practice

what does that shit even mean?

shut your block down, get out, criminal route
gangsta shit, can't talk now, gun in yr mouth

this always got stuck in my head

what does that shit even mean?

I'm thinkin he has four "rackets" selling "eight-balls"?

I always thought it meant 4 guys rapping (4 rackets) and they got 8 balls between 'em but there are 4 guys in the american cream team and then I start thinking about arthur ashe crossed with shiva the destroyer playing tennis against god and I'm like wau

er 5 guys in the american cream team

I think I'm the only dude on ilm who liked immobilarity

nah i like most of it

Bo jacksons gray and black , ready to throw my hands flashin
Ewings, barkleys , lex use an entertainer , forget air cross trainer

Someone should start a thread of when bad production happens to great rappers.

new single i guess?

Yeah...they've had video shoots in New Jersey and New York, I think. This album better be good.

ah, dude

hoping the majority of the album is soul sample based

In case anyone missed this...

http://smokingsection.uproxx.com/TSS/2009/07/raekwon-feat-inspectah-deck-ghostface-killah-method-man-house-of-flying-daggers

that is surprisingly good. this album might be good after all.

yeah the two songs I've heard so far were actually pretty great. was not expecting that honestly

also, dilla finally gets to work with some decent mcs.

(in death)

(not that i didnt like frank n dank or phat kat, i did, but not for a whole album thanks)

I haven't been following the leaks but I am majorly excited for this.

me too

if this album was produced solely by dilla in rugged mode, doom, and maybe madlib (also in more rugged mode), and some of rzas disciples, this could be awesome.

not that excited that Dr Dre has production on this, but other than that it looks pretty cool

lol -- kinda excited abt this for some reason

they probably arent even aware themselves that they probably make better rap beats than dance music

oh shit THAT justice...i just figured it was some NY producer dude with a random name

im just assuming .. it could be, i assume "BT" is a NY producer dude not
