	Compare Prices and Read Reviews on The Lex Diamond Story [Edited] - Raekwon at Epinions.com
		Raekwon is back in full-form here with his typical street poetry dealing with dealing drugs, becoming a street kingpin, and turning to violence when there is no way out.
		Raekwon's style is interesting because he adapts a third-person point of view to most of his raps, not really putting "himself" into the song all the time, but rather describing his surroundings, sort of like Nas would do.
		Raekwon's verse is a tad bit better than the other two emcees, which probably comes from experience, but is not only too short, but lacking that edgy focus that makes Rae so great.

		Raekwon ranks among the Wu Tang Clan's premier lyricists, but he'll probably never top his 1995 solo debut, Only Built 4 Cuban Linx.
		Turns out Raekwon is a method man: He delves into his Lex Diamond character, a fictional gangster embroiled in battles with crooked police, rival gangs, the government, his grandmother, you name it.
		Sure, this genre played itself out years ago, but it's refreshing to hear good, old-fashioned storytelling in an era when rappers are all too quick to hop on the dashboard confessional.

	SECTION 3 - raekwon "immobilarity"
		Raekwon releases his second solo album, and with it a whole new dictionary of street vocabulary.
		There are similar sounds and styles to RaekwonÕs first solo album, Only Built For Cuban Links, but overall thereÕs a Nas vibe to the beats and sounds.
		Maybe it has something to do with the fact that main Wu writer/producer, the RZA is nowhere to be found on this album; not even producing one track.

		Also notable was Raekwon's crackling chemistry with heavily featured collaborator Ghostface Killah, who enjoyed something of a coming-out party with all the exposure (he hadn't been nearly as much of a presence on Enter the Wu-Tang).
		That LP was followed by a second round of solo albums, and Raekwon's Immobilarity was released in late 1999, this time on Epic.
		Raekwon recorded with the Wu on their subsequent albums The W (2000) and Iron Flag (2001), and announced plans to reteam with Ghostface Killah for a sequel to Cuban Linx.

	raekwon Mp3 Albums Review
		Raekwon has street credibilities, his lyrics are sharp like a razor blade, he is a good member and a coach, just like other rappers some are mostly phony that's why Raekwon talks about the life he has while he was growing up in the projects,his struggle throughtout the Universe of Allah.
		While Raekwon's original slanguage creations are still amusing, it's hard not to think that he, like most members of the Wu, have overstayed their welcome.
		Raekwon spits fire on all these beats, and it keeps the same vibes throughout the whole album.

		While Raekwon didn't rip this LP quite as nicely as he did Cuban Linx, he still deserves to be looked upon as one of the best MCs in the game.

	Raekwon Rebuilding 'Cuban Linx' With Wu Mates
		The project is "all-new saga," according to Raekwon, and is currently going under the title "Cuban Linx Part II." It will be preceded by two singles: one solo track and one featuring an unannounced guest lineup from the Clan.
		Since the original "Cuban Linx," Raekwon has remained a steady presence on the scene via such albums as 1999's "Immobilarity" and 2003's "The Lex Diamond Story." But "Cuban Linx," he said, is a re-investigation of his acclaimed, image-heavy rhyme roots.
		Raekwon concedes that the pressure is on this time out, as he and Ghostface's last records, "Lex Diamond" and "The Pretty Toney Album," respectively, were critical successes.

	JR.com: Raekwon - Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... [PA] in Music: East Coast Rap:
		Raekwon "The Chef" is already an irreplacable part of rap music's largest breed, the Wu-Tang Clan, but his debut proves him also capable of standing on his own two feet.
		Raekwon defines the politics of the rap game on "Incarcerated Scarfaces," and invites any non-believers to test his skills.
		Raekwon's chamber briefly escapes the Clan's musical borders on "Verbal Intercourse," and though the track evokes other Wu-Tang material, Nas' lyrical presence adds a different dimension to the album's haunting reality.

		Born Corey Woods and also nicknamed the Chef (because he's "cookin' up some marvelous sht to get your mouth watering"), Raekwon* joined the Staten Island, NY-based Wu-Tang collective in the early '90s and played an important role on their groundbreaking late-1993 debut album, Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers).
		Although the group's contract allowed its individual members to sign with whatever label they chose, Raekwon stayed with Loud when the first round of Wu-related solo projects began to appear.

		Raekwon should be forgiven for his Immobilarity meltdown.
		And certainly, the rhyme chemistry between Raekwon and Wu buddy Ghostface works as well as it always has on "Missing Watch." Sadly, the same can't be said for the bushels of guest rhyme spitters.
		And why Raekwon would employ the same dated Mafioso motifs he popularized nearly a decade ago is anyone's guess.

		Corey 'Raekwon' Woods is one of the most enigmatic figures in the Wu-Tang Clan.
		Like E-40 out in Vallejo, Raekwon invented his own slang as he went along, and left the rest of the rap nation playing catch-up or copycatting his style.
		It's another of Raekwon's unique traits - the ability to connect one to one to his audience via his words and flow and make each word seem personal to the listener.
