breh said tapping inside my rap vein causes blizzards..ghost spazzed the fukk out this whole god damn album


I sell goods, my whole Clan is on the run like Natural Born Killers

Blow like dough, Killa Beez is what I sponsor
Your entrepreneur, pens and ear like Shakespeare
When I fukk I grab hair, collect drawers as souvenirs
fukk yeah, my crew down German beers
My career's based on guns, throwing cats in wheelchairs

The purple tape helped muthafukkaz get through weight lifting sessions in hot ass August during two a day practices, no joke. nikkaz from Miami, Columbus, Brooklyn, Atlanta, Oakland, Louisville, Chicago, Flint, was all taking requests to run that CRIMINOLOGY back, "a yo rewind that shyt for this last set"

 

[Sensitive Blake Griffin]

I'll try to get some video or something from the concert tonight but it may be one of those times where I don't record shyt so I'm just in the moment.

 

[Mikeatris]

I still have my original first pressing of "The Purple Tape" that I purchased on the release date, 20 years ago. Signed by Rae and Ghost... and the 2012 re-release of course.

The G.O.A.T Hip-Hop album without a doubt.

RZA Chef Ghost and Nas nikkaz is the prophet

I still got my 1st pressing also, sitting in my fireproof strongbox. Did not buy the re-release, no need

 

[patscorpio]

See this is hip hop worth talking about..not no damn struggle raps between meek and drake

 

[I love Latina women]

i'm bout to listen to the whole album right now

 

[ThaRealness]

First time I heard this shyt Im like ' what type of sorcery is this????'

From a music standpoint, easily the greatest hip hop album of all time.... Ghost locked in like he caught the holy ghost

Some MC's like Kendrick, they can teach whole seminars on.... But Ghost's verses on Cuban Linx.....

none of that theoretical shyt can even begin to explain how he did what he did
