Necro's statement on RA THE RUGGED MAN: Necro on "Gihad" (Rea and Ghostface's song on Cuban Linx 2)I wasn't even lookin' to get beats on [rappers' projects]," repeated Necro. "[Ill] Bill had old beat CDs [of mine], and he started fuckin' with Raekwon on some shit," CD. "Bill called and said, 'Yo Necro, can I give Raekwon a copy of this old beat CD you gave me? He's working on Cuban 2, and he's not looking to pay $50,000 a beat - that don't work for [his budget]. He wants gutter, grime shit, and he heard some of your shit and he likes it.' I said, 'Yeah, why not? What do I got to lose?' And you know what, it wasn't even a new beat CD."Strangely, the instrumental to "Gihad" was made less than two years after the first Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... "Actually, the beat that Raekwon picked was 13 years old. I made that beat in '97," revealed Necro with a chuckle. "It was two years before Rae called me and picked it. Rae had the beat CD for two years. I got a call two years later, Bill says, 'Rae wants to talk to you; he wants to use a beat.' I'm thinking in my head - kind of excited, this is a pretty good look. At the same time, I'm not really one of these dudes that's trying to get beat [placements]. I'm not like Alchemist, no disrespect to Alchemist. He conquered his lane of being that producer that first producer to have something on everybody's shit. I actually tried - I wanted to do that."When Raekwon and Necro finally spoke on the subject of placing "Gihad," Necro respected his fellow veteran in a truly rare style. "'Tell him he can have the beat for free,'" Necro asked brother Ill Bill to tell Raekwon after inquiries were made to buying the track. "I don't even want the fuckin' money; I'm giving Raekwon the beat for free on spec, 'cause it's [Only Built 4 Cuban Linx...Pt. II] and I know what a big record it is. If he's really 'bout it, and he's really 'bout usin' my beat, then I'm not lookin' to make money off of it, 'cause that's good enough of a payment."
well he had a 13 year old beat CD to pick from...Necro uses his best beats for him or his crew/former crew members (Goretex and Ill Bill being the best)and Gihad is dope as fuck btw, that shit is classic.

It wasn't bad but not nearly as good as lot of his other stuff.
