Another dynamite show and another dynamite giveaway for you readers and listeners of Melting Pot. 2015 marks the 20th anniversary of Chef Raekwon’s Only Built 4 Cuban Linx, released August 1, 1995. To celebrate the principal voices on the album Raekwon and Ghostface Killah are doing a nationwide tour that culminates with a final show here in Los Angeles. This show might be even more special since there’s a chance that Adrian Younge and/or Bad Bad Not Good might join the MCs on stage, since both outfits will be in town. Not to be missed. If you want a chance to see the show, make sure to e-mail me at michael[at]meltingpotblog.com before Monday at 5pm, which will be when I pick the winner.
Hearing the production from this album still sends chills down my spine, with “Criminology” perhaps being my favorite track on the album:
