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*

Who are you and what have you done with Guru? Seriously, we go from the emotional rollercoaster ride of thinkin' we're gonna lose one of the game's greatest MCs to some sick pathetic soap opera involving a man of no blood or kin relation denying family members the right to see their loved one. Now yes Keith Elam may not wanna reconcile with folks he hasn't been on good terms with for the past seven years but that's his decision not yours. From the outside lookin' in, you seem really shady. And if Guru's nephew claim is true that you signed documents as Keith Elam's brother and your wife as his sister than that's just plain alarming. An abuse of power. Releasing statements to websites and official Twitter accounts in Guru's name when he doesn't appear to be able to speak on his own behalf is also misleading and completely wrong. Be clear: At this point the only thing relevant and important is the status of Guru's health. Nobody gives a fuck about you or 7 Grand. Guru's legacy is Gang Starr. DJ Premier and Guru made classics. You and Guru make crap. And you should get slapped for meddling in family business.
I'm not dissin' but you shoulda stayed missing. Everybody in the club get tipsy. Nobody in the club remember your name. Damn shame.
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!!!!
