Purple Tape Pt. 2

I can’t wait for “Only Built 4 Cuban Linx… Part 2.” I have unreasonable expectations that this album will blow my mind.
Check out Raekwon at an all-night grocery store/deli after leaving the studio at 4am. Halfway thru the video he reveals that Nas has yet to come through with a promised cameo on the album. (You’ll remember that Nas was the only non-Wu member to appear on the original “Cuban Linx.”)
The Wikipedia article on “Only Built 4 Cuban Linx…” is awesome. It confirms that the ellipsis in the title were added by Raekwon after the record company refused to publish the orginal title in full: “Only Built 4 Cuban Linx Niggaz”. The Cuban Linx he refers to is the popular style of chain at the time, and not a cocaine-supply connection as was originally thought.
