""Ice Cream" was one of the strongest tracks in Raekwon's classic debut Only Built 4 Cuban Linx. On Ice Cream, Method Man does the hook and does it nicely. Ghostface hit the mic first in the opening verse. He displays his traditional off-the-wall style yet still manages to be his usual, nasty self. Ghostface is one of THE most underrated MC's in not only the Wu, but in all of hip-hop. I think Raekwon isn't as sharp today as he once was lyrically, and he lays down a sick second verse. Cappachino, a Wu-affiliate, puts it down on the third verse. He reminds everyone of Cappadonna though. This is one of Wu-Tang's biggest hits, whether as a crew or solo. Just remember, it's not a thugged out track, it's one for the ladies."
