An actual original cassette of The Purple Tape is priceless. It’ll be in museums someday. After Loud/RCA stopped distributing ‘Only Built 4 Cuban Linx…’ in 1999, Columbia still sold cassette tapes, but they then only would release the album in a standard clear casing, and ceased the distribution of the classic purple cassette casing
I got the purple tape only. I got to look for the case. The tape is a little beat up from heavy rotation, come to think of it, I'll keep it. Is like a bar or gold to me.
@@ZAKU-GDI’ve got the original purple tape vinyl still. Of the official first release. It’s worth over a thousand dollars and I’ve had it for 10 years, and during that time I’ve almost gotten homeless I’ve been that poor. Selling it? Never crossed my mind The fuck
The best tape ever that tape is priceless wu tag music is timeless they are the best that ever done it as far as groups … the purple tape my favorite tape of all time by far. Peace out
Lol that’s a come up for both sides. Long as u listened to it. For me I would’ve kept it even if I didn’t kno it was so rare. I know my uncle had the tape but the box was empty smh. Damn bro that tape is clean af too. U just made a customers day!
Yeah man I remember that shit remember they played a bunch of songs off of the album on underground college radio station right here in Suffolk county on Long Island. And I tape them off of the radio and I had like ice cream incarcerated scarface's you know a bunch of different songs before they came out and people like you know where the fuck did you get that and I was like this is the new raekwon shit and people wanted me to make them copies and copies I was like a little DJ for like a couple weeks and then the album dropped
Damn , I wish I still had mines probably went through at 3 of em. Decks destroying them or letting my guys saying let me dub that and never getting it back, or smoking in the car with ole sticky finger ass ninjas.
Coincidentally I was listening to this album today while driving around with my son. I’m guessing the TH-cam algorithm must have picked up on that and directed me to this video
It was valuable because its the actual OG purple tape after a while they stopped producing them my tape decks ate 2 my 3rd copy they ain't make em no more
I have 2 copies of the vinyl for some reason, but I never got the tape always wanted that purple tape so bad. Not as bad as liquid swords on vinyl though
How you got them tapes still behooves me I played them tapes into the tapes came apart and then I had to go buy other ones they didn't last a year with me
Damn I would never have thought people would want to buy tapes anymore let alone for that type of money. I still got my OBFCL CD I've had since like 96. Think i got Cappadonna The Pillage on tape somewhere..wonder if thats worth anything 🤔
You crazy. I got ALL their origina albums onl cassette tapes. The first 26 from Enter The 36, Tical, ODB,The Purple Tape/Only Built, GZA etc. Holding them for another 25 years if I can help it
He bought it just to sell it some day. You can tell that tape wasn’t getting no play . When you actually use the tape the paint to the song names would start wearing off. This dude is a cassette tape investor lol.
So after the purchase you decide to close the tape case while the booklet is sticking out of the tape case. I work for Ebay and i have send your video to my manager. Treat customers and items with respect. Now the booklet is damaged. I wil find your customer to warn him or her.
