I just saw Raekwon (The Chef) live on Saturday. It was quite the experience. The man grimaced at me. And that's great.

Rae's Only Built 4 Cuban Linx 2 has been out for a minute now. It's excellent. It's really that oldschool Wu Tang cold ass shit you want to hear. As Sasha Frere-Jones said about the album, it feels like it came out in '98. It's sort of anachronistic in a good way.

That picture is misleading (or perhaps just dated) since the album is out now. It's no longer "Coming Soon". But, look at it.

What a crazy photo.

I love that picture. I wish they had made it the album cover. That picture really is worth 1,000 words. Probably 1,000+ words. Raekwon & some dude (probably Ghostface) lying on the floor, covered in cocaine, pointing guns at each other. Oh yes.

The album cover Rae (well, the record company really) did settle on is great, too. It's kind of campy and bad. But, it's fun since it's Rae and Ghostface being badass and goofy (and, this album cover really does add to the anachronism of Cuban Linx 2:


I feel like the Ronblog is "guest starring" Nick Vogt as...um..."Nick Vogt". Ron and I should take a picture like the cover of Cuban Linx 2 for the blog. Then we'd to be awesome.

I don't wanna spoil too much here, but the Ronblog may be getting another guest star...So, we'd have another dude in the photo, too.

All I have to say is: Senior Partners.
