Some Cubin Linx II info from Scratch mag!!!
- Rza was suposed to do all of Meth's album last summer but Meth flew back to NY to write and stopped production. RZA decided to invite the whole clan down to make a Wu-Tang album but only a few people showed up. Cappa, U-God, Meth and Ghostface (who to his defence, was nursing a leg injury) were missing.- The people who were there started banging out tracks and GZA and Rae had chemistry in the studio, Gza suggested they make Cuban Linx II as a team and they agreed. Rae litterally got back in his hoodies and timbs and got in the grimy mindstate. As of november 25 songs were recorded, most from Rza with Jay Dee (Baggage Handlers probably) and Scram Jones contributing but garanteed for the album and Dr Dre a possibility.
- Ghostface hasn't recorded anything for the project but promissed to drop an 11th hour contribution. Rza explained that it's going to be explained in the album's storyline that Rae needed some new cats like Maximilion and Rollie Fingers for his new scheme. Gza said he can never replace Ghost but he's confident that fans will be satisfied once they hear the results.
- The album was still in its extremely rough stages but Scratch said it still sounds better than anything the Clan has released post Supreme Clientele. While Scratch said they're reassured Rza said he's not going to be satisfied until it's perfect. He says that it's going to come together with the skits and everything. He also noted that he never plays his music early for anyone but made an exception for this to show that he's dead serious about this album.
- The Masters to the original Cuban Linx were all lost in a second flood in 1995 (!!!!)
- Some track rundowns... (4 out of the 13 Scratch heard that in they opinion better make the final cut. They also review State of Grace but you know that's dope.)
Thug World (all track titles subject to change) prod Rza
Raekwon: "Thug world is one of them ill hooligan tracks. A throwing chairs type of beat. Rza had to give us one those "Wu-Tang clan ain't nothin to **** with" type beats.
Scratch says: it's in the vein of Run. It'll have you hoppin over fences and benchesRock Stars and Smoking barrels prod Rza ft Gza and Inspectah Deck
Rza: Gza's verse is about someone with 3 children who commits suicide. Deck comes in with a style that is so unpredictable he sounds like a whole new MC on that. The sonics just smack you in the face
Scratch says: Live soundin instrumental and Deck's got an incredible double time flow on this oneKareem Khan Prod Rza and Justice ft. Gza
Gza: I was going to see Raekwon and my son Justice was like, "Maybe I should play him some of my beats." That beat was the first or second beat he played for Rae. When I got to the studio that night Rae had already laid down his verse. It sounded so fat, so chunky that I had to get on it.
Rae: I kept looking at Justice like, "you getting a check".
Scratch says: Justice's tight drum programming proves that he's a prodigal son.No Matter how hard you Try prod Rza ft. Inspectah Deck
Raekwon: I want to hear what a nigga do off an ill beat with just two drums on it. This is what I feel like the game is missing. People need to have some characters on wax instead of just being like they tough all day. That tough shit is weak, Be real, don't be tough
Scratch says: Very skeletal beat. very simple drums. Very hot track.
MF Grimm disses MF Doom
ummm is this new? i knew they had beef cuz Doom dissed M.I.C.
i know Doom dissed M.I.C again on DangerDoom
"Once joined a rap group, Midgets Into Crunk
Did a solo on the oboe
Coulda sold a million, then the villain went for dolo
And cited creative differences
Basically they hated, he left no jaded witnesses"

MF Grimm:
"Doing songs with RZA
That’s funny shit
I remember you told me
That he bit Tick, Tick...
You said Ghost was whack
You didn’t like his style
Two-faced and three-headed
***** I pull your file
New food poisoning
You vomit for a while
You started some sh*t
Now you sitting on a pile
Metal face, tin foil
Walk the green mile"
"The Mask took control of you like Jim Carey"
Gotta admit that was a good one, but i think he's just jealous that Doom's getting big. I don't know what to say...i mean if Doom was doing collabs with 50 Cent it would be different but i don't know...i'm disappointed. I don't know the full story behind it but still...i hope this shit dies.
here are the lyrics
it's actually really good. lot of good shots at Doom.
[intro - Bashton the Invisible Man]
I met this kid he seemed righteous
He represented knowledge
Yeah him and his brother they was reeeal smart
But then his brother died and he was taken in by a grand master!
And from what I hear this kid sambo was a snake
A rat… he stole shit and ran away to another state
Microchip *****
[GRIMM]
I don't deep fry friends
Grimm reaper nuke ‘em
Hearts dont mend
Brothers turned to enemies
Nigga, enemies I eat them raw
Nigga, MF Grimm is god of war
Parole, done - see you on tour
Millions get paid lets see who make more
Master water
Cause man is mostly made of it
Spit fire consumed by friends, compete for oxygen
Breathe deepness of mind
He stayed on it
Worst fire-proof emcees with bad warrantees
War is a part of me
Prison harden me
Deamons trying to murder me
Pistols always poppin’ me
Lead convicts my flesh
But god pardons me
Revenge, was turning descendants
To god, pardon me
Put yourself in danger
Running with a mouse
Metal turned to braces
Punch you in your mouth
Zev luv x, used to be merry
The mask took control of you
Like Jim carrey
Megalon
Cap him in the jaw
Knock it off him
M.I.C. got to put your mask in a coffin
Mos def, de la soul
Roots can't revive you
When the bullets start flying
Whos gonna hide you?
Rhymesayers, stonesthrow
Nature Sounds signed you
Make peace with you?
Zev, i tried to
[chorus - BASHTON]
You can hide behind the mask
But see-through like glass
Thought you was the truth
But your styles like ass
Cut throat ***** made
you got no class
Little black sambo
You shouldn’t talk trash
2x
[MF Mez aka DESTROYAH]
Midgets into crunk
Monkeys in a cage
Murderers in a cut
****ing you up on stage
Tell them about the time
That Gunn punched you in the face
Basically you was hatin
And then you ran away
You aint a man, you a character
I bet that mask make you feel a lot scarier
Cos Man to man is your doom
Like we’re parallel
M.I.C. can see you soon at your burial
Listen Vicky your not goons you cartoons
Your hype man is not Grimm thats not him
What you speak is not true, its not you
Your team’s weak, I’ll pop them, then pop you
Smog made ya mask
Jet jag made your name
M.I.C. gave you life and we can take that shit away
[GRIMM]
I didn’t wanna get at you
You know this is true
One thing that stopped me
Was Lord Dihoo
But now you’re being disrespectful
to me and the crew
Now I gotta do, what I gotta do
M.J.J. article, got your name hot
The mask was made for you by lord Scotch
X-Ray gave you studio time when in town
Rodan and megalon those brothers held you down
Evil jay, had you paranoid like a clown
Jumped off stage and ran when Kong came around
We looked out for each other when you lived up town
On the cover of the EP
And look at us now
Chess is life
We haven’t played of late
But even on the cover
I put yo ass in ‘mate
We been through so much
Zev you was close to me
Used to come through your house
Buy your ass groceries
I wrote the whole treatment to your MF video
With Adam Lounge
And Ricky 'Kid' Scotchno
Hundred thousand dollar bill
Got up and i called you
Fired my attorney
You helped me get a lawyer
You took me in let me stay out in Atlanta
Facin 15 to life
We bounced out to cali
You made sacrifices
Recorded on the run
We bust our ass
And got Ibylis done
I made a mistake
Told the press you owed dough
I see now its my fault
They didn’t need to know
Apologize to you
I thought we let it go
B.B. King's, New York
Together did a show
But look at us now
Once again here we go
Money wasn’t worth it
And turned us into foes
Whenever you had beef
Your beef was mine
Id take a life for you
Put mine on the line
Doin songs with RZA
That’s funny shit
I remember, you told me
That he bit Tick, Tick
You said ghost was whack
You didn’t like his style
2 faced and 3 headed
***** i'll pull your file
MM Food poisoning
You vomit for a while
You started some shit
Now you sittin on the pile
Metal face, tin foil
Walk the green mile

d00m said "midgets into crunk" = M.I.C = "monsta island czars"
i need to know why this diss was done.
i know there was bad blood between them but never knew why.
Grimm really poured his heart out on this.
