With the recent success of Only Built 4 Cuban Linx 2, the Internet has been buzzing about another little rumored project featuring Shaolin Swordsmen Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, and Method Man. Each emcee has briefly mentioned the possibility of the album - but only now, has it been confirmed. While on the red carpet for VH1's HipHop Honors, Method Man confirmed with MTV's Shaheem Reid that the trio is indeed planning for the LP. No details or a possible release date were mentioned in the interview.
As a long time fan (Stan) of the Clan, I couldn't be happier about this news. Especially with Cuban Linx 2 turning out to be such a success. Ghost and Rae always have that top tier chemistry - Method Man has been steadily killing anything he's gotten on for the last two years. This can really turn out to be something special for the newly formed mini-Wu. And its such a unique project, seeing as how this a brand new concept coming from that camp. There was a long rumored project between Rza, Gza, and ODB called In Together Now that never materialized for obvious reasons - so I hope this album doesn't turn into another myth. Furthermore, I hope they stay in this Cuban Linx 2 zone and bang out a real street album for the fans. I know Method Man and Ghostface in particular like to flirt with the idea of big club/lady records. I think their days of selling records because of women are long over. Anyways, I don't want to bury the project before it comes out. I'm just so excited about its potential, that I want it to live up to any and every expectation.
