25 Years ago, Raekwon dropped his game-changing 'Only Built 4 Cuban Linx'... It was monumental, and arguably the apex of the Wu-Tang Clan solo catalog. This LP cemented Raekwon & Ghostface Killah as a dynamic duo as they formed their own clique-within-the-clique, effortlessly passing each other the baton over RZA's cinematic production. Weaving intricate stories of street tales, mixed with 5%-er knowledge, this project played out like a feature film. Vividly spit in their coded slanguage, you felt like you were right there next to them on the island of Staten. With his mix, DJ Filthy Rich tries to maintain the original feel of the LP, while adding some original samples and blends to switch things up a bit. A true student of the game, Filthy Rich pays tribute to the Purple Tape by splitting his mix tape into two parts - or two sides - like the original Purple Tape. Dig into Side A/Part 1 below, and stay tuned for Side B to follow from Toronto's DJ Filthy Rich. Hit the archives for more...
