Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... 20th year Anniversary Appreciation Thread (Aug 1st, 1995 - Aug 1st, 2015)

[Oztradamus]

I still have my original first pressing of "The Purple Tape" that I purchased on the release date, 20 years ago. Signed by Rae and Ghost... and the 2012 re-release of course.

The G.O.A.T Hip-Hop album without a doubt.

RZA Chef Ghost and Nas nikkaz is the prophet
