    Don't fuck with Raekwon. The man isn't strapped for cash. He isn't some bum MC who relies on on ads to get money. In fact I bet this is just advertising for his new album, Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II. Raekwon is a legendary MC. He is the Wu-Tang's master storyteller. He is definitely a real motherfucking G from a bygone era of hip-hop. Wu-Tang Clan Ain't Nothing to Fuck Wit.

    Damn, this is what I get for dipping out of work, on time. I missed the single most relevant post in all of Jalopdom.


    Speaking of OB4CL2, it feels as if I've been waiting 15 years to hear it...oh yeah, because it HAS been 15 damn years. I tried to like Immobilarity and Lex Diamonds, and kudos to Raek for even attempting those albums, but damn, you can't top the original Only Built 4 Cuban Linx. That album STAYS in heavy rotation.

    Check out my nephew

    He jumped up in the window just to see you

    Look what he drew

    A car, house, always wants to be with you

    He's just as Jolly, He always begging me to let him see you

    I'm like "probably if you clean up, and read a little"

    You make people eyes glow

    You got the weather channel bugging and you stubborn when it snow

    You my mentor, Mothers name their Kids after you

    New slang, nothing personal, we knowin what you been through

    (Sun) You roll like, one in a million yo

    (Sun Sun) You always find like, one in a building yo

    We those babies from day one

    All I had was you on my birthday baby- think you owe me one

    The way the world look when you around

    Prisoners get out, look up, run at you and then kiss the ground

    You my favourite, I wish we had three more of you

    I adore you, plus I even go to the store for you

    A rental car is a rental car, no matter the price.


    Think about how many hookers and blow you could have bought. And hell, you probably would have had enough money left over for a taxi, bus pass or to buy a bike.

    Maybe he did a favor for a friend? And at least it's not like a bit for selling Ford's and Chevy's.

    There's no way any member of the Wu Tang clan should be strapped for cash (okay, maybe U-God), but sadly I bet dude needs the money. A friend from college, in his many adventures, was the tour manager for Wu-Tang during a comeback type tour back in 2003 or so. He claimed he tried to be sensible and get everything done and official on spreadsheets or whatever, but when it came down to it, the only way he could get them paid without enormous arguments was to open the dressing room door, put the bag of money in, and get the hell out. Not exactly a guaranteed method of ensuring everyone gets their cut.


    I was going to quote Rae here, but I got Clipse on the brain:

    "IT'S THE reincarnation of Raekwon in an apron

    Lou Vuitton printed and coke scented

    Windin' through the flow cause it's so vintage

    Nothin' like these timid gimmick, prepaid rappers with no minutes

    The real niggas live it, they mimic

    They H-O-V lane it and don't get it.


    Sure, they talk about diamonds and stuff that's easy to dismiss, but they also talk about cars alot, so you have to like them. For example, "tell me, how could you go against the Lord's will? Count my blessings everytime the Yokohamas squeal"


    Yokohama reference FTW.

    @eggwich del fiero: Raekwon kicks ass, Clipse kick ass, so automatically your comment kicks ass.

    And U-God is probably still in the slums of Shaolin.

    That is incredible. I'm going to have to tell my girlfriend (who is obsessed with the musical arts) about this. No doubt, she will look at the new Taurus with much more affection knowing its designers were listening to her favorite artist (Citizen Cope).


    This is what cars and design are about, and part of the reason I am interested in finding my career at Ford. I like to imagine, that the designers at Toyota and Honda are in gray rooms, with small Dixie cups filled with city water, nothing but the sound of a clock ticking. That is what I get when I look at any new Toyota. Where as, Ford has got some good things coming. Maybe its nothing, but maybe something as simple as listening to your iPod while you work does make a difference.

    @Van Sarockin, rogue trebuchet: Things have been busy, what can I say. Girls, cars, family and friends, work get in the way at times. Working overtime to pay off the $2,100 I spent in suspension work on the old Tempo.

    I suspect the designers of the Countach were listening to Black Dog by Led Zeppelin.
