Nice little write-up about Raekwon’s album release show last week at Santos. On a night chock full of highlights, my favorite might have been Cappadonna rhyming behind DJ Hotday on the decks. Dude is probably my favorite performer out of the Wu. Pictures courtesy of Eleni Rizakos. More after the jump. link
Raekwon’s long-anticipated Only Built for Cuban Linx, Part II dropped yesterday with a release party graced by Ghostface, Method Man, Diddy, DJ Premiere, Redman, Eric B, Ice-T, and Cappadonna, among many, many others. The red carpet was purple, of course, and the press assembled around it could be better described as a dangerous mob of fans. In fact, the crowd outside of Santos was so overwhelming that Rae had the NYPD working for him last night; cops lined the entire block, yelling at press and bodyguards. But New York’s rap royalty were in cheerful form regardless, posing for photos and rendering opinions on what looks to be Rae’s instant classic.
