Raekwon dissects his new mixtape, Cocainism Vol. 2 with MTV. Read up below. Not to be outdone, HHC also discussed the trend of sequel albums with Rae.

“Alphabet Soup.” “I got this joint called ‘Alphabet Soup,’ ” Rae said. “I was inspired by making this record by checking out my man Papoose. I think this is probably something he did way back when his career started. To me, that made me like him a lot more. He was challenging different things. I wanted to do something from A to Z so we called it ‘Alphabet Soup’ because every letter, we came with words pertaining to that letter. If I said ‘A,’ I would say, ‘Attacking a–holes/ Assassinate ’em with mad holes …’ Everything was pertaining to that letter. I felt that concept was something good to bug out on the mixtape.”

“City of God.” “It’s me back in my ‘Champion’ era,” The Chef explained. “It’s me rhyming a lot of strong lyrical content. When you think of a New York MC such as myself, you know what we talking about. So, yeah, I’m feeling that rhyme. That beat is underground. It’s nothing you gonna say is a commercial record. It’s me getting busy on the mic. I got inspired by the movie [‘City of God’]. Seeing the young n—as in certain situations where they growing up poor. It reminds me of my era — we ain’t get on, we was finding out a way where we could get on. Where we could make something happen.”

“Ms. Sincere.” “We’re talking about a broad,” the Staten Island vet said. “The beat behind us is going, ‘Wuu-wuuuu.’ I don’t know, I been hearing a lot of slow sh– with the ‘Wu’ sound in the background. I’m like, ‘It must be meant to be.’ It’s a slow record; it’s kinda of, like, in a story mode. I’m talking crazy, the beat is crazy; I’m just having fun.”
