OB4CL 2 Success Brings Raekwon To Tearz
Friday, September 18 2009 6:14 PM EST | Posted by: B.Dot | Posted in: Blog, Newsstand StanYou couldn’t see it coming down his eyes, but Rae says the success of Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II‘s made him cry.
“I was shocked,” says Raekwon, who released the project on his Ice H20 label through EMI. “My fans really stuck up for me in a way they never have before. It was one of those joyful, teary moments.”
Keeping up the momentum, his single “Catalina” is also getting serviced on your FM dial. *Throws up W*

Disrespectful views at Tha Kang, T.I.? Nah, Ms. Banks you're out of line. Yeah Harris' Aussie ain't that dope but neither are you. I just saw you at Coachella and I wasn't impressed. You got the look, the swag, the tough talk but where are the tunes? "212" is alright but that's where it stops. According to Jay-Z's old board rules: You have no right to diss Tip. Look in the mirror and ask yourself: How many classic albums have you created? Are you on anyone's top 10 MCs list? Do you have any hardware on your walls, ma? Cliff is right. Keep him out of the girlfight. You're heavy in these tweets, but I hope you're finding time to create music that backs up your buzz. Or you'll soon be begone like Kreayshawn. You young ladies today bore me. *Turns up Mia X CD* No Limit forever!
The best things in life are free, but hopping on Hov's press conference stage uninvited is gon cost cha. Whatcha did was wrong! ⎯B.Dot
he done really good
word!
Good for Rae…Clap for HIM!…Dope album! Although its longer (# of songs speaking), in my humble opinion its better than BP3..and I like BP3! OB4CL2 is a rare gem in “TODAY’S” hip-hop climate.
I am a Rae fan, but success. I saw the billboard numbers, he did 65,000 his first week. That is not a success. That is horrible, even during these times. Jay-z sold 8 times more than him, come on people.

Lol. u got a point, but i think Rae’s accepted that Jay-Z is a bigger artists than he his. So for him to sell 65K independently, is a great accomplishment. The album’s good as well.

Your an idiot. Maino did 18,000 of major label push, Fab did 90+ off major label push, Hov is in a league off his own, so that’s no comparison. For 65K independent, that’s a good look (just ask Slaughterhouse, they did fucking 18,000 also).
Ok, independently 65,000 is a good number, but its still not a number to have a party for. I wish he would’ve put it out on a major and maybe he could’ve got better sales. I guess he is happy with it finally being released, so the soundscan doesn’t matter to him. Oh well. Its a good album!!!!
