The Purple Tape Is Back!

HO. LY. FAECES.

That is how you reissue a classic record. Get On Down already has a highly impressive track record when it comes to those, with their chess set packaging of Liquid Swords and wallet packaging Return To The 36 chambers, but this reissue of Raekwon’s seminal rap classic Only Built 4 Cuban Linx… takes the cake.

For the record, TRU is not receiving anything for posting this, not even a “review” copy. I’d gladly take one but I imagine they won’t have much trouble loading off these puppies. Limited to a 1000, so don’t hesitate too long.

1982 was when Jaap van der Doelen aka J.Monkey shot his way out his mom dukes. A mere two years later he was already battling Big Brother and The Illuminati. Whenever he has time to spare from those efforts he writes (about music, mostly), hosts a radio show and designs graphics for a living. He lives in The Netherlands where he continues to be winning.
