 | | Only Built 4 Cuban Linx is perhaps the most influential of all Wu-Tang solo projects, thanks to Raekwon's cinematic imagination and his creation of a narrative album format revolving around cocaine trafficking, criminal activity, and a rise through the ranks of the illegal industry. |
 | | Albums to follow this thematic pattern, and to rely on Cuban LINX' format for song construction, include Jay-Z's Reasonable Doubt, 50 Cent's Get Rich Or Die Trying, and even Raekwon's subsequent The Lex Diamond Story, which is organized around Mafia-based narrative progression, and first-person reporting on the drug trade. |
 | | He plans to release the long-delayed sequel to his debut, Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II, in 2007 under Aftermath; it will be executive produced by Busta Rhymes (informally) and the RZA, with RZA handling most of the production--including the first single--as well as tracks from Dr. Dre, among others. |
