The Purple Tape is so iconic and timeless
Liquid swords where it at the key stone highest stone in the temple of the wu.
Man it was a masterpiece and still is
Purple Tape, The Infamous -Mobb, and Illmatic are the holy trinity of Hip hop
This album is to Hip Hop what The Godfather is the cinema. It is a masterpiece. In my opinion, it is the greatest hip hop album of all time.
Great comparison definitely the "godfather"💯
Arguably the best album of all time. No less than 2nd place. It is a complete project no skips.
Rza was on a helluva production run with the first solo Wu albums. Many of them are in that category of “no skips”.
Purple tape and liquid swords are the 2 best albums of all time imo. Knowledge God is my favorite on the album
That Liquid Swords..was Vicious and The Swordsman was sooo deep I don't think these nowadays conscious truth seekers would understand it..he was even talking bout ..looping lifetimes..👍👏..said something bout seeing a Tom from da Past on a Slave ship..🤫😏
Ify on Cuban Linx but both Ironman and Supreme Clientele were 🤌🏾
You got a lot to stand on I want a debate you but you might be right you might be right man
And they came out about 3 months apart
@Dark0_Cl0ud haahahah this cat 😅
Best hip hop album of all time.
I agree! I still have my original tape! It is literally a flawless album.
THE MOST ICONIC ALBUMS EVER FOR HIP HOP.🙌🏼❤
That album changed my 15yr old life
The illest Cinematic album of all time
Legendary artist.
Hard to say a best track, but incarcerated scarfaces is a perfect song
That’s one of my top favorites too 🔥
Hand down “Rainy dayz” and if you don’t think so listen to it good!! “I sing for him but he isn’t here”
Word!!! I put brothers down
That’s the main thing I miss about these days people made albums that you could just throw on and let em go
And the winner is “ VERBAL INTERCOURSE” hands down ain’t even close!
OB4CL 1 and 2 are my top ten favorite albums of all time
People like to crap on 2 but it’s personally a favorite of mine and was a quality follow up to 1.
The Purple Tape will never be matched Classic Forever Wu-Tang For Life. The Wu will always be a top notch music
Only Built album is still my 🔥iconic audio,lyrics but also the album cover font style of reakwon is the sickest image!
Shout out to Rae rockin that Buffalo Bills hat! Legendary in my book! 💪🏾😎
I saw that. I'm a big wu tang and bills fan myself! Go bills! Wu Tang forever!
@@billybuffalo Go Bills! Wu Tang Forever! 💪🏿😎
Liquid Swords is not GZA's debut album. Words from the Genius which came out about 4 years prior.
Appreciate the feedback ✌️
His stage name was The Genius first not GZA
@@ralphking425 The GZA/Genius. So what, Liquid Swords is his sophomore album
“Labels “ explains it all
I bought this album 3 days before it came out in August 95', i was just listening to it from beginning to end a couple weeks ago, almost 30 years later. Definitely my favorite album of all time!
Raekwon = Purple Tape
Masta Ace = Yellow Tape
Redman = Red Tape
Illegal The Untold Truth was the first red tape in 1993
@@williambattiste2402they had to be close together because Red 2nd album, the red joint dropped in '93 too
@@dannytarver4533 November 94
Redman notably hates that album.
Mister CR - Thc Green Tape 🎤🎤🎤🎤
I need one of these videos for Ghostface’s SUPREME CLIENTELE..
Word brother , we will look into this , appreciate the comment ✌️✅

Only Here To Ask Why Y’all Got A Dominican Nas On The Thumbnail? 😂
😂😂😂. The comment I was looking for 🏆
Yo, word. WTF
Nah fr. Tf
Lmao whooo the fuck is dat
How is Nas Dominican when both his parents were born in Mississippi? Natchez and Canton
Only built 4 cuban links and Hell on earth by mobb deep tied, used too, still do and will continue to listen to these albums. In my opinion two albums u can play from start to finish without having to skip songs. Especially hell on earth, starting with track 1 no intro just straight grit with animal instinct. And god damn incarcerated scarfaces
Illmatic, Reasonable Doubt and GKMC too.
The Infamous is better than Hell on Earth
Infamous is Mobbs best joint
The production, the lyricism, the hooks, everything about this album was the epitome of hip hop. And it still cooks!!
This album started a lot of trends 💯
Top 5 of All-Time. It was awe inspiring when that purple tape dropped. Definitely the album that made you having a moniker cool.
1995, I'm going to school waiting at the bus stop listening to this and a crackhead (didn't know he was one at the time) walked up to me asked if I know some people that lived in the projects up the block. I knew them but I said no because they be wilding. Dude said he had a gun and he would shoot me if I didn't give him my walkman. I took it out my pocket and gave it to him. He started to run off and I yelled "yo hold up, give me the tape inside" He took it out and threw it to me lol.
A couple weeks later I'm going to my cousin crib and I see him on the corner waiting to get served. We fucked his ass up.
3. Liquid Swords 2. Supreme Clientele 1. Purple Tape . That’s my order of preference
Dang dat Buffalo Bills hat Rae had on was crazy 🪂🪂
I love this album man
🎇🎆🎊🎉
Real 🥷 lick shots, peace Connecticut. ✌🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Wu-Tang Clan is the most impactful part of Hip-Hop history…hands down! And yes, I am speaking for everybody
Very Very Underrated...they covered all areas of Knowledge and life within this album..Should've been ..💎...It was like listening to a Movie..👏👍
It was
Illmatic & Only Built for Cuban Linx are my top 2 albums in Hip Hop. A Tribe Called Quest first album is 3rd(1990). The Chronic n Aquemini are my 4th n 5th
Only built for cuban links is an undeniable legendary tape
Attack of the killer tomatoes is AWESOME!!
I said AYO!!!! 👐🏼
When that album came out…jeeezus!
No doubt, much respect 💯😎
And ill always remember the video of reakwon punching the sh*t out of joe budden 😂
The tape was purple yo 💪🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I wrote my first movie script with that tape as the soundtrack. If I gotta pick one,"KNOWLEDGE GOD"🔥

Is that Nas or Matt Barnes???😂
How y’all got NaS looking Latino on the thumbnail lol
Ey yo yo what up do

Couldn’t call the album wu gambinos, but had a song called wu gambinos? Also, Nas is the 2nd rapper to enter the 36 chambers.
Came here to say that as well LOL
Who was the first? Was it Streetlife?
@@williambattiste2402 no. It was……..wait for it……..mc eiht
The album was average. Overrated album with the exception of Cap's incredible verse on Winter Warz. Liquid Swords and Supreme Clientele are the best Wu Albums.
I'm more partial to Liquid Swords myself and supreme clientele is 🔥 but to call the purple tape average and overrated is blasphemy to me. OB4CL is a classic in its own right. Just my opinion
This album are Ghost "Iron Man" go hand in hand burned on a blank cd together basically only built part 2🎤🎧🥁🎹💾💽📀💿
Make sure yall get me all my notifications. PLEASE 🛰🛰🛰🛰
