Cuban Linx is somewhat a double meaning. It’s a lifestyle of people who live or try to emulated mobsters, famous gangsters cartels and Cuban or Colombian drug dealers.
Also if you look on the cover of the album or the way hustlers used to dress back then, they bought cuban link chains. It was like a sign of a hustler right before “Jesus pieces” became popular then that whole image soon disappeared.
So basically it’s like when you buy a cd that says “Parental Advisory” for cursing etc. well this album is saying that the music is based on “Only Built 4 Cuban Linx” material. Based or street niggas, huslters and/or drug dealing family lifestyles.
Hot interview by Rae… he had great answers. He not only answered the questions with perspective but he went into detail why he thought what he though. Good shit!
[...] The Chef says Ross is one of the greatest today… and basically says every other rapper out now is “doing what they do” but never actually says he likes/appreciates what they doin. lol. OB4Cl2 in stores August 11th! Shouts to Shake. [...]
to the first comment
if you notice the first album was only built for cuban linx…..
the whole ….. is because he wanted to call it only built for cuban linx niggas. obviously the label cut off niggas and then you got only built for cuban linx……
so to sum up your question the title means this album is only built for real people, like here is my first joint and its only built for real niggas
what does only built for cuban linx mean
I like Rae, he a real nigga

the man need to really speak his mind instead of trying to not get into a rap beef. he’s more trying to not break his business connections.
what was that beat in the beggining of the video? is that from a raekwon track?
i dont agree wit just about any of what he said..but hes still a dope mc
