[gronetlv7]

@KryptonDaVillain STFU you lame ass nigga.....Only Built 4 Cuban Linx is a top 5 hip hop album of all time and it shits on all your favorite rappers albums.

[DiaTribeRap]

@BIGpacL lyrics to deep 4 young bucks 2 understand #Shaolin

[cubanlinx95]

"The first branch the third leaf, I politic, show love crush those that dare creep" Cappadonna belongs in the ranks of the Clan no doubt.

[theknkjohnathans]

Cappadonnas verse is my favorite verse in rap...period

[Johnny8109]

To sya that Ghosts falcon bracelet is fucking nuts would be an understatement

[Johnny8109]

Hypnotic track

[HalSamuel]

This wasn't one of the tracks that jumped out at me when I first got the album. I couldn't get over Knowledge God and Glaciers of Ice.. but I now appreciate this for the Wu-classic that it is.

[PowARABSWAG]

Rae, Ghost, and even Cappa would beat BIG anyday, BIG was so overrated, as was PAC.

[THUUNG]

@PowARABSWAG nah man pac & big earned their spot. its because of the westcoast/eastcoast war that they are overrated.. pac were more like an poet while BIG had better rhyme. but umm ye i agree with you raekwon n ghostface killah shud be on the same spot as big & pac

[rubsak476]

wats this album called again? sorry im stoned :)

[mattwu911]

@rubsak476 Only Built for Cuban Links.

[solcapo]

Im going to be as honest as i can be, this right here might be the greatest hip hop song ever created. not just my opinion, but when u listen to the lyrics and the instrumental, it really speaks for itself. Rza is one of the greatest producers of all time, not just hip hop, music period. But as good as he is, He will never create something as magical as this Album. This Is a TIMELESS CLASSIC HIPHOP ALBUM! this album shouldve sold 50 million records by now.......smh

[redfirebluecipher]

Cold dope ass army of black brothas! 2011 and beyond, WU-TANG 4EVER!

[creamofcrop55]

2:40 GOD DAMN!!!!!

[CustomMagnumFilms]

what the hell is up with cappadonna? on some songs, like this, winter warz, and 9 milli bros, he's sick as hell, but at other times he literally sounds retarded.

[ZanzibarJose]

@CustomMagnumFilms well if he has a ghost writer that would explain it.

[DoubleFeo]

[NittyNilt]

Alot of people dont know this but they are talking about BIGGIE & PUFF in the beginning ( Tommy Hilfiger rockin niggas) hes talking about PUFF in the early 90's he were alot of Tommy Hill

[NittyNilt]

Alot of people dont know this but they were talking about BIGGIE & PUFF in the beginning of the song ( Tommy Hilfiger rocking niggas) hes talking about PUFF in the 90's he were madd Tommy Hilfiger

[MrRandolph17213]

@NittyNilt

I doubt that

Rae, Ghost & Cappa always was wearing Hilfiger, look at their album covers.

[NittyNilt]

@MrRandolph17213 I know i hear you ...... im just saying .... thats what they said in an interview in the early 90's

[704Hustle]

@MrRandolph17213

exactly..they were first to come out with the hilfiger gear..this album gave birth the look and style of the late 90's from 96-99..the cuban links with the platinum piece,the term "ice",the mafia nicknames and image,hilfiger gear..puffy just took it and brought it to the mainstream

[mrmostarr]

@MrRandolph17213 i don't know about the tommy hill shit but they are dissing biggy a bit! biggy in kick in the door disses rea a bit when he says "this goes out to those who choose to use disrespectful views of the king of NY fuck that why try through bleach in your eye" and rea answers at the end of this song saying "That's life, to top it all off, beef for white pullin bleach out tryin to throw it in my eyesight Yo what the fuck was on yo mind? "

bleach is the key :p

[mrmostarr]

@MrRandolph17213 dunno bout that tommy shit, but they are dissing big! in "kick in the door" big says "this goes out to those who choose to use disrespectful views for the king of NY, fuck that why try throw bleach in yo eye" in this song rea answers this "That's life, to top it all off, beef for white pullin bleach out tryin to throw it in my eyesight Yo what the fuck was on yo mind?"

bleach is the key!!!

kick in the door was a diss to a lot of people and rea was among them

[RelaxednCaIm]

@mrmostarr

this song came first.

[mrmostarr]

@RelaxednCaIm never mind the chronology those lines were destined from one to the other. you can read it on wikipedias page for life after death:

The line "Fuck that, why try, throw bleach in your eye" is a reference to Raekwon's jab on the track "Ice Water" from Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... where Raekwon raps

That's life, to top it all off, beef for white

pullin bleach out tryin to throw it in my eyesight

[crispykid88]

Who them heavy head niggas hating jakes?!

[grimoneus]

@omd0: I must respectfully disagree and give it to GZA,with Inspectah Deck coming a close second. Ghostface's delivery was good but not quite as stellar as these two wordsmiths.

[raekwonyaeyo]

@Luda86cris

its derby, i was right, i just checked the lyrics.

[Bizdet]

@raekwonyaeyo like pimping a hat with a little flair like mobsters do it sets your derby hat apart from regular people who wear em and the mobsters who wear em

[ssyphilis]

ppl just dislikin this track cuz they dissd the shit outta biggie

[onarix]

this song is cold as ice water.

Wu

[mowmow445]

This song really does redefine hiphop and i would also add it permanently legitimizes it as a form of music. Ghost brings you in and applies the setting, Raek has a trance in his verses, and Cappadonna fucking nails it with his flow, all on top of one of the greatest producers of all time, The RZA, scratching.shit to hell.

[Mikuruification]

@mowmow445

Damn nigga 

[AngeloCapelletti]

great tribute to La Cosa Nostra! "Sippin on the Moet, laid up, Rae-Gambino

Mastermind the plan, Tony Starks, Cappachino"

some of the hardest verses ever

some of the hardest ad libs even!

this song is just so haard!

[cfalc521]

This whole album is dope, arguably my favorite. This song, bananas, can't decide what I like best. Ghost's verse, Cappa' or Rae's, or RZA's crazy sampling. Damn, I wish hip hop was still this hard.

[blackmafia931]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaa,,,,wu shit bitch

"MOVE LIKE A BUNCH OF MEXICANS WITH BANDANAS!"

"THE FIRST BRANCH, THE THIRD LEAF. WHOEVER WANT IT, GOT BEEF!"

" BACK IN THE DAYS, BAGGING CRACK, SCRAPING PLATES, FLIPPIN CAKES. WHO THEM HEAVY HEAD NIGGAS HATIN JAKES!..." every line from this shit was lyrical murder. this kept the summer of 1995 banging!! this shit kept the summer of 2010 banging too! this shit gonna stay banging in the whip until i die!!

AHHHHHAHHHHAHAHHAHAHHAHA

[tufucofo]

i always lol @ "tommy hill rockin ice niggas.....tommy hill ice rockin niggas"

[jafrocubic]

This album has had so much amazing shit written about it. How could I possibly disagree?! It's special - one of the greatest. It leaves a lot of difficult questions, though. If I were asked what the best song was from OBFCL, I would not be able to answer. Now.... if a gun were shoved in my mouth, cocked, and then I was asked the same question.... I would undoubtedly shit my pants and then gun mumble "Ighhh 'Ater".

[bambooblunts]

Only RZA could make an ill beat with AHHs

[mowmow445]

raes intro is so fuckin dope...favorite hip hop album

WU TANG FOREVER 

[bigalbs1]

I honestly dont think BIG could fuck with rae n ghost legendary duo and cappadonna did his thang on this track much respect, but I dont really understand his beggining verse "the first brance the third leaf"

[arshilego]

@bigalbs1 its "the first branch the third leaf", still doesnt make too much sense on a literal level in terms of its context, but it sure as hell sounds good!

[mrdk216]

@bigalbs1 me neither ..been bugging me too anyone know waht that line "the first banch the third leaf" means

[NizzleHudsizzle]

@bigalbs1

"First branch, the third leaf"

It's only speculation, but I think he's making a reference trio that he was pretty much a part of -- him, Rae and Ghost. It' kinda obvious since he wasn't even an official member of the Wu back then that he had to take the backseat in that trio as the third member.

[NizzleHudsizzle]

@bigalbs1

And I agree with that comment about BIG, but mostly because of how horrible Bad Boy was as a team back then, and is now, thanks to Diddy

[bigalbs1]

@1DerekRubin1 cuban linx & Ironman IMO

[rodservinall]

One of the greatest hip hop albums of alltime!

[scruffyrunkin]

Yo, the first branch, the third leaf, whoever want it got beef

I politic, show love, crush those who dare creep

Into my realm of sunshine I praise divine

Fine line between dawn of dumb, deaf and blind

He ain't mine, he shook like the faggots on daytime

Crossed over grain while we was bubblin moonshine

Sippin on the Moet, laid up, Rae-Gambino

Mastermind the plan, Tony Starks, Cappachino

[tp0817]

Your pics were real on point during this video.

[jaysteinhauer]

shit was and still is on fire i love dis album

[poet051882]

Still knocking this shit 15 years later and it's as good as it did the first time I heard it. Peace to the GODS.

[BCTELEVISION1]

& If someone reason for whatever reason you still may disagree Listen to Ghost Debut album[IRON MAIDEN}..the track:FISH where Rae once again proves how far ahead he was at his height.....he was another planet very close to that of then a NAS & AZ etc...Rae was among them back then when those guys where super lyrical....listen to his verse on J"OHN BLAZE" too The Fat Joe Track.....

[BCTELEVISION1]

now i would never could i never separate them Rae &Ghost..but on this particular Masterpiece..Rae not only outshines his rhyme partner but flow,breathe control,verbalised punch line & a focused ness found from the Mic Gods:Rakim,Kool G Rapp Kane blessed aYoung Sha La Rae "95"..as he introduced us to the new Era..listen to 'INCARSARATED SCARFACES" pure perfection!!

[bigalbs1]

@BCTELEVISION1 ya right

[rodservinall]

Hardcore shit ,for real. Biggie is no match, or should I say WAS no match for Rae. Ghost and Raekwon are a great force together. All the little soujer boyz take note...

[91themi]

cappa murdered this. his best guest spot with winter warz

[thatunit995]

2:45 wooow

[pierzy11]

Don't sleep on the subtle B.I.G. diss at the end of Rae's verse (that B.I.G. of course responded to on "Kick In The Door"

[huntingseasonson]

"Peace to half moon caesars, and all the bitches in the bleachers, hot weather sex on the beachers"

What you fools know about dem half moon caesars?

[huntingseasonson]

Capadona was ill on this and IronMan, but when The Pillage came out, it was wack. The problem, Ghost and Rae didn't write his lyrics.

[albert1350]

@huntingseasonson for real lol
