Why the tape was purple:
Raekwon:
"Only because that we be from the block, we was finagling in certain situations where the things that you was dealing with had to be separated from what everyone else was dealing with. I always ran with that as one of my traits in anything I do to separate myself from others. Back when we used to sling and do what we do, you would have different color caps (to viles). Certain color caps resembled certain people that were doing shit different than everyone else. It's like Yo, This is our color, anyone step on this color, you got an issue at that time. So I decided with my music, This is my world, my thing and I want to put a color on it just so everybody will know. That's how "The Purple Tape" came in existence. I think I had wanted a red one at first, then thought how somebody else had did it already. I made it like that specifically..."
Good Luck.
