They went from being enemies to being homies for life

They couldn't front... Biggie owned the summer of '95... until Rae & Ghost came out in Aug with the Purple Tape.

We're witnessing the birth of the Purple Tape!

And after that, "Ice Cream" had the '95 Summer Wave..

1995 was a wild time in Hip hop!

Soon as I saw this scene my mind went 2 Sharks skit then the Criminology sample dropped

Watching this series gives me chills. This is real authentic hip hop and a blueprint for the future generations

I never would've guessed that Ghostface was going to have the most romantic arc on TV. I wish I had a girl like that

Damn. Going to the Wu store and seeing Ghostface and Raekwon outside would be pretty cool.

I'm in Chicago and I remember when I first heard this biggie smalls song. I walked outside around 1pm and every car passing was playing it.

Ghost girl was wildin 🤣🤣🤣

Rae and Ghost are like twins

Ghost face killah character definitely embodies him more so far this season and the chefs

Talk about a positive mindset with a bank robbers mentality! That’s true ambition and motivation all in one!!! That’s one of the dopest scenes in this series!

That was the start of the Criminology Style.

Those jackets are fire 🔥

That ending was fire…

The most Powerful moment in Television 📺 This dead gave me chills

This scene has me hyped af

“We got next.” 😤😤

gave me chills. i heard that beat and yelled. OB4CL changed my life.

Man this is why I miss the 90s. The 90s was a dope era but,? A lot competition on who got the best albums who got best bars

This was a Hypnotized with Hate moment that turned out good

They did a good job playing Ra and ghost, one of my favorite parts

And then... Cuban Linx was airborne

I remember when all this was going on biggie , jay z and nas and ghost & rae fighting for that crown 👑 throwing shots at each other in their songs

Yo, those actors HAVE IT!

That’s how Raekwon got beef wit BIG then kick in the door

That last part got watched over and over and over! Wutang again ! Ah yeah again and again!

The best scene in that episode 👍🏽 Blackman & Robbin 😏

😌 I'm 43 now and I must've bought OB4CL at least 5 to 6 times on cassette, cd, and wax starting with the infamous "purple tape" at 14 years old. Rae & Ghost were so ahead of their time on that album (the whole Clan was) because the album doesn't sound outdated. In 2023 it still sounds as fresh and as relevant than any other album in hip-hop...it's damn near a masterpiece in terms of creativity in story telling, skill in rhyme between Rae, Ghost, other Clan members, and featured guest like Nas, not to mention production by the RZA. The Wu-Tang Clan (R.I.P. Ol' Dirty Bastard) is undoubtedly the BEST hip-hop group that has ever influenced the culture and graced the microphone and that's saying something considering RUN-DMC (R.I.P. Jam Master Jay), Ultramagnetic MCs, Tribe (R.I.P. Phife), De La (R.I.P. Trugoy), N.W.A (R.I.P. Eazy-E), Gangstarr (R.I.P. Guru), Mobb Deep (R.I.P. Prodigy), Cypress Hill, Souls of Mischief, The Alkaholiks, Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth, The Juice Crew (R.I.P. Biz Markie), EPMD and the Hit/Def Squad, The Boot Camp Click (R.I.P. Ruck/Sean Price), The Dungeon Family, UGK (R.I.P. Pimp C), were/are all great groups of the late 80s throughout the 90s of the "Golden Era". 👐 *u*

Than only built for Cuban linx drops..rest is history they DEF had next lmaooo

Big had all the hoochies grooving back then ....Got some good head/knowledge...when this song came out still got the cd ...lol

The ending of this gave me goosebumps I already know what the next episode about to be 😈

Can It Be All So Simple Remix is one of the sickest track!!!

Ra and ghost criminology

From this moment forward history was made

This shit gave me chills fr I was deadass jumping up and down after this scene that purple tape is timeless!

Raekwon and Ghost wrote the book on Mafioso rap

The birth of ..only built 4 cuban linx album CLASSIC! 😎

Boi the chef wasn't playing when he said him and ghost had next!! End up dropping one of the greatest hip-hop albums ever!!! Only built for cuban links! 🔥🔥

Then those two turned around and made they own jam that the ladies liked "Ice Cream"

The purple tape is my favorite album of all times

CUBAN LINX !!!!!!!!!

This part is my fav part at the end of Ep 5...I was hype!!...Zuuuuuuuu

This part was one of the best parts in all the seasons.. this classic son

BEWARE THE COMING OF THE LEGENDARY PURPLE TAPE!!! ... & Rae didn't wear not damn chokers, FOH

You gonna have to physically come take this crown kni mean 🔥🔥

These guys are cool!

I remember the time as well. This had to be the spring of ninety five. I was fifteen. The Source had it advertised that Raekwon album was titled Only Made 4 Cuban Links. Before the title was rearranged some. Tupac was locked up in Clinton Correction (a rikers island wing). And Biggie Smalls, in less than a year since the release of his debut album, was KING 👑

They was super hatin lmao

Can't imagine listening to a radio station that replays the same songs every hour...oh wait 😂😂😂

Best Rap Duo!

Girl that play Ghost girl is beautiful

Dopest show

good build up , hopefully the making of ice cream pops up cause they made a ladies hit with that one

Before you could just hear any song in your car any time you wanted to via music apps/bluetooth radio: You had to call in and request. When the One More Chance remix came out. It was just like this. Every car was bumping that chit all day every day and that's just from radio play let alone when the tape/CD came out.

i love it i absolutely love it as a fan and as a man who really was in them trenches fighting for a crown.

they got the same jackets from heaven and hell video

Hell Yeah ! 🎉

As much as I respect the Wu I feel the same. Rap is about balance. You can't be super conscious 24/7 you can actually enjoy yourself. Who else remembers the skit Only built 4 Cuban Links where they said Big was biting Nas Illmatic cover lol this was a well written scene.n

Big👑

Lol puffy like yea yea

They were straight gs in that ep

This when them niggas started to hate on Biggie 😂

I use to wonder why the mad rapper sounded like Rae on biggie’s album now I know why lol wow…..

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I Loved how rae and ghost relationship blossomed since they were beefing at first

they should fo shown when meth and biggie did their colab on ready to die

From Enemies to like being Bros.

She trying her man I see…. Ain’t no way I’d disrespect my man like that.

Yep

She's fine.

Only Built 4 Cuban Linx got next baby!

They look like Grove street boys in the thumbnail. 😂

Imagine if Pac or Biggie wanted to collab with Wu

did they use”fire” like that back then?

Wu wear was not open when One More Chance came out. Wu wear opened up summer 97. One More Chance came out 95.

lmao biggie still the king tho

Ice Cream baby🎉

Imagine Rae and Ghost reaction when 2Pac vs Biggie beef getting out of hand.

I thought I told you...Hey....

Her favorite part is the ending

This is the precursor or dramatization behind “Shark Niggas (Biters)” .. if y’all didn’t know

Papa Wu said Ghost and Rae don't like nobody. 😆😆😆😆😆

Purple Tape

Next episode should be “The Purple Tape”……just say’n….

What killed me is that she was tired of listening to her cousins shit cause she hear him in real life (ODB) 😂! I think Dirty had that effect on everyone that was around him 💯! But Ghost shouldn’t be telling her what to listen to and what not. Not all females is into the lyrical hip hop shit, my own girl might not listen to my music like that and that’s ok. But I get it, Wu Tang is still on the rise just cause they made one album don’t mean they set for life! Everyone in the mid 90’s in NY was in competition with each other. Which is crazy cause in the 80’s hip hop community was everyone was equal. Since then times have changed. EPMD was out the picture, Slick Rick was in jail, Kool G Rap was still tryna find his way after him and Polo run ended, Big Daddy Kane and LL was still active but they wasn’t getting the same success like that like when they first came out years ago during this time. Biggie was taking over the charts with that remix! The only people in NY on the rise after Biggie was Boot Camp Clik and Wu Tang still. Craig Mack music was overshadowed by Biggie which fucked him up. But this lets me know even today hip hop is a competitive genre. It always have been, everyone want the crown

Heads wasn’t saying fire back in the mid 90’s. In real life she woulda I heard it’s phat or I heard it’s da bomb or it’s butter. I was around for that era, these writers gotta study.

God damn shes fine

Aint no way they were saying "fire" on statin island in the 90s. New york got the slang but not "fire"

How did they get all that bass on one more chance please help me do that lol

Not for nothing, Wu and Bad Boys have a lot of collaborations, but they was hating Biggie hard in this scene. 😂

What beat is that at the end

She so fine

The is dope but they wast a lot time getting off topic going to wonder lane which each character with the dream imagination stuff season 3 aight but I feel like the dream part get to off topic

the same effect when 50 came i know wu must of been like shittt we gotta sit on the bench for a few years.

Pfft, let's be for real, Puffy isn't anywhere near the producer RZA is. But Puff does have great ideas.

I was tired of biggie back then

The episode 6 was not good at all, honestly trash,all the episodes from season 1 to 3 been super fireeeeeee 🔥🔥🔥🔥...but I wasn't happy with this episode, I was expecting rza to depict rae and ghost in the studio, making ob4cl capturing the moment for us who were not there,rza just went a hole nother rout,super selfish of rza
