Review title: A hip-hop masterpiece and a landmark (for better or worse)
Product review: Any way you cut it, Raekwon's 1st joint is a classic hip-hop album. It plays almost like a movie, with tight, no-frills production, and slammin' turns by Ghostface Killah, and of course, the Chef's classic lyrics. The LP clearly delves into fantasies about drug deals with Italians and Colombians, as well as assassination plots, but never crosses the line into outright stupidity.Unfortunately, imitation ain't the best form of flattery. In the year it was released, EVERYBODY was trying to "shark-bite" the "Cuban Linx" motif, and the LP spawned tons of imitators, to the point that De La Soul blasted them in their own classic, "Stakes is High" (the track "Itsowezee"). Raekwon may have unfortunately opened a Pandora's box that never closed. He could be deemed the "Godfather of Bling-Bling."Nothing beats the original. Check this LP out.
