For:Fans of classic 1990s hip-hop, Wu-Tang Clan followers, listeners who value cinematic storytelling and sample-based production.

 "Only Built 4 Cuban Linx" is, in short, an album not to be missed, a classic of rap that, 10 years after its release, does not feel dated at all and is still listened to with pleasure, a pleasure that only a group like Wu-Tang Clan, which has indelibly marked the history of black music (and beyond), can give us.

 Because, on their own, three tracks like "Ason Jones," "House of Flying Daggers," and "10 Bricks"are the quintessence of the perfect beat, in terms of rhythm and sampling.
