BIG was ahead of his time, him and Raekwon my niggas/
But dig it, they couldn't get along/
That's when Ghostface said it on the Purple tape/
Bad Boy biting Nas album cover, but wait/
BIG told me Rae was stealing my slang/
And Rae told me out in Shaolin BIG would do the same thing/ - NAS
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.
