Editing Raekwon (section)

=== ''Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang'' ===

After the critical and relative commercial success of ''Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... Pt. II'', Raekwon collaborated with Method Man and Ghostface Killah for ''[[Wu-Massacre]]'', a short trio album designed to showcase unity within the group. Following this release, Raekwon resurrected talk of ''[[Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang]]'', a project announced in 2007, originally planned as a Wu-Tang album, minus RZA, due to his response to the previous group album ''[[8 Diagrams]]''. Raekwon forwarded his projects continuously through his growing label Icewater. He both worked on his own project while signing other underground artists.

Although not a Wu-Tang Clan project, ''Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang'' was released in March 2011, serving as Raekwon's fifth solo LP. As originally planned, RZA did not participate on the project,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.vibe.com/posts/raekwon-new-album-ghost-meth-deck-gza-black-thought-no-rza |title=Raekwon On New Album: Ghost, Meth, Black Thought In; No RZA |date=July 19, 2010 |publisher=VIBE |access-date=August 19, 2010 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100808022307/http://www.vibe.com/posts/raekwon-new-album-ghost-meth-deck-gza-black-thought-no-rza |archive-date=August 8, 2010 }}</ref> however, several other Wu-Tang members made appearances, as well as [[Black Thought]], [[Nas]] and [[Rick Ross (rapper)|Rick Ross]],<ref>Young, Alex.
