Corey Woods (born January 12, 1970), better known by his stage name Raekwon, is an American rapper. He rose to prominence as a founding member of the hip-hop group Wu-Tang Clan, which achieved mainstream success following the release of their debut album, Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), in 1993. Raekwon would subsequently pursue a solo career, releasing his first solo album, entitled Only Built 4 Cuban Linx…, in 1995. The album received critical acclaim, and is regarded by many critics as one of the greatest hip-hop albums of all time, as well as a staple of 1990s rap.

“Criminology” is the second solo single by Wu-Tang Clan rapper Raekwon, from his debut album Only Built 4 Cuban Linx…, featuring Ghostface Killah (who appears on twelve tracks of the album). The song starts with dialogue from the film Scarface, where Alex Sosa is angry with Tony Montana and insults him during a phone call, calling him a “fucking little monkey”, because he failed to blow up the activist’s car, then the first verse is performed by Ghostface Killah, and the second by Raekwon, without a chorus. The B-side of the single is “Glaciers of Ice”. The song peaked at #43 on the Billboard Hot 100.
