Raekwon - Only Built For Cuban Linx Part 2 The sequel to "Only Built 4 Cuban Linx" this album has been in production for like 5 years and has been through many producers hands. The album follows a similar crime laced cinematic approach as the original. In keeping with the structure of and concept of OB4CL the loose storyline of a mafioso crime boss is told mainly from the 3rd person. It is combined with carefully placed skits weaved into the beginnings and ends of songs. In contrast to the first album/story where the main character is attempting to leave behind a criminal life, here he has seemingly embraced the life. The narrative has these older characters taking a look back at their pitfalls and spoils as they have finally risen to the top. "While many of their '90s peers recycle toothless tautologies about bringing New York back or vainly wrestle with advanced age by collaborating with flavor-of-the-minute flotsam and jetsam, Raekwon and Ghostface Killah refuse to stay forever young. Proudly profane, the two come off as salty mafia dons with long memories, too old to change their ways but with the narrative skill and eye for detail of master storytellers in their prime."[24] The album's final track, "Kiss The Ring" has Masta Killa's narration summarizing the loose concept of the story and closing the album in film-like fashion.
