Another name for Raekwon's Only Built for Cuban Linx... album. Cuban Linx is commonly referred to as The Purple Tape because the original cassette's plastic was entirely purple; Raekwon marked the tape distinctively as a reference to drug dealers' method of tagging their product.
GFK: Eh bruh, what you listenin to on them headphones?
GZA: I'm up on the purple tape.
