Let the Battle Begin: Raekwon Announces “Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang” (Listen & Download)

So here's the deal. If it's new Ghostface Killah, and it has some hilarious ad-libs, I'm posting it. If it's stories about O.D.B. that are so crazy they have to be true, I'm posting it. And if it's new Raekwon, and it comes as hard as "Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang", I'm posting it. If you've got a problem with that, go kill some braincells over at Bossip.

The title cut off his upcoming album, in many ways "Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang" is classic Wu, right down to the kung-fu clips and the darkly menacing beat. And of course The Chef comes rougher than a box cutter to the face on the mic, dropping the kind of Pyrex soaked lines we've come to live. I feel like a lot of people sleep on Rae; sure he gets respect, but do you realize he's put out two of the best albums in hip-hop history? Do you really?
