Talk:Only Built 4 Cuban Linx...

message: In case anyone cares, I'm deleting the line that says that this album abandons samples from kung-fu movies. It's simply not true. The album prominently features samples from John Woo's "The Killer."   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.69.221.67 (talk) 21:27, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

message: try as i might, i've never been able to make sense of this album title. What exactly is it supposed to mean? What is "cuban linx" and what is the thing that is is built for it? This is not a joke i've really never understood this.
:i think it's Wu-Tang Forever on which one of the clan says "we told you... we was only built for Cuban linx...", but i can't remember who or which track, i'll come back and update this if i find it while listening. Also since there's a whole cocaine/Pablo Escobar thing going on i wouldn't be that surprised if the links to Cuba were something to do with moving large amounts of high-quality ching W guice 18:58, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

message: im not sure, but is track number 8 supposed to be a remix? the original being done by the Wu-Tang Clan??
Raekwon - Only Built 4 Cuban Linx - 08 - Can It Be All So Simple [Remix] with a lenght of 5:38?
Yes, it's a remix, the original which was on Wu-Tang's debut album "Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)" featured only Raekwon and Ghostface anyway; they just redid it on this album with a different order of verses.  
Oh, and by the way, I hope you're not asking so you can download it, you might as well just buy this top 5 classic.--Tainted Drifter 07:24, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

message: In the chart that has the tracks and who preforms in the songs, it says the Ol' Dirty Bastard is in the song "North Star (Jewels)" but I have just now listened to the song twice and I do not hear him in it.
Ol' Dirty Bastard is in North Star, he is singing in the background "we've got the power to resurrect the dead". 86.142.223.81 16:14, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I thought that the part in this article where it describes who's who in the wu-gambinos was pretty useful when listening to the album. Although I agree that it might not be perfectly suited for this article, but shouldn't there be someplace on wikipedia where you could get this info? I'd think a wu-gambinos article or a redirection to the page with wu tang associates (where the wu-gambinos part should be included) would be reasonable. Should I try making such a page myself?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Barbarne (talk • contribs) 18:27, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
