Whats up Saints and Ain'ts! It’s been 30 years since Raekwon dropped his legendary debut album Only Built 4 Cuban Linx…, better known as the Purple Tape. On this episode of Music & Makeup, we’re celebrating its legacy, impact, and the timeless storytelling that made it a cornerstone of 90s hip hop. From Ghostface Killah’s unforgettable features to RZA’s cinematic production, this album set a new standard for lyricism and creativity in rap. We’ll talk about the tracks that defined an era, the cultural influence it had on fashion and slang, and why the Purple Tape still holds a special place in hip hop history. Whether you’ve been a Wu-Tang fan since ’95 or you’re just discovering the classics, this is one celebration you don’t want to miss. 💜 What’s your favorite song from the Purple Tape?
