"This album is amazing! I'm a 80's baby so this is a treat for me b/c this type of cd was extict in this new day and age untill it dropped. It is a breath of fresh air and truley takes it back to the roots of rap music before it was commercialized. GREAT timeless album must buy!"

Album of the Decade son

"Like everyone else, I'm tired of recycled cardboard rap giving a hip hop a bad name. Thank God for this album. All I can say is that Rae is a master, and if you are a fan of real hip hop this album is for you. If you are new to the game and you like this, check out the original. I guess the recession is good for something, because great artist like Raekwon and Sade are dropping jewels."

Almost perfect sequel

"If history has taught us anything, it's that sequels have fallen short. However, the long-awaited sequel to Cuban Linx delievers with a BANG! I can't lie and say its surpasses the first Cuban Linx, however it does come extremely close. I have to admit at first, I was not as drawn to the album as I thought I would be. Although, after having a second ot third listen, I have been hooked. It took some time for the album to grow on me. At first the production kind of put me off. Even though the music was nicely done, the only downside to it was I have heard them before, i.e. Pyrex Vision uses the same sample as O.C.'s Jewels, Canal Street has been used countless times, i.e. Fat Joe's Fight Club and AZ's Vendetta. After overlooking to these minor details, I still feel its a great album. The best in 2009, in my opinion. Highlights for me were, House of Flying Daggers, Cold Outside, Black Mozart, New Wu, Surgical Gloves, Ason Jones and Three Bricks. I have to admit, I wasn't soo impressed with Catalina and About Me, both produced by Dr. Dre and Mark Batson. But eventually they grew on me.



Overall, the best album of 2009. I'm glad the East Coast is back doing what they do best. This album has helped bring alot of attention back to New York."
