As KEXP celebrates its 50th anniversary, we're looking back at the last half-century of music. Each week in 2022, KEXP pays homage to a different year and our writers are commemorating with one song from that year that resonates with them. This week, Martin Douglas writes about the thrill of being a young hip-hop fan listening to Raekwon's legendary "Purple Tape" and why Wu-Tang Clan are the Beatles of their generation.

50 Years of Music: 1995 - Raekwon - "Incarcerated Scarfaces"

I'm going to new york

just to make myself a star

take myself a broad then the game I'll change uh huh

take it in production and we bake it like it's raw

take it in blood but my name still isn't Nas

I get it fast and they get it fast

this shit a mirage

don't get lost in the sauce caught up in the girls and cars

I'm out here hustlin to make it easy for all my broads

my promoters my label and all my niggas that's fa sure

My money long like the eiffel I'll be bigger than michael

bigger than the beatles maybe louie just can't lie to

Money fast like I am the new frank lucas

American Rockstar top charts you dufus

And if I don't get it then I'm just gon' smash

chart topper hard bottom red bottoms cash

I got a million dollar stash these other niggas crash

And I ain't got a problem giving you that s**t whiplash

I'm going to new york

just to make myself a star

take myself a broad then the game I'll change uh huh

take it in production and we bake it like it's raw

take it in blood but my name still isn't Nas

The game is full of hoes and I'm the type to define the reason

I remember being sixteen on the ave in my season

So you can get that cash

I go out with a bang to get the finger

Like my name is candyman and I like to laugh it's my demeanor

I go crazy with it and I get it misdemeanor

felon nigga i ain't tellin sellin nigga creeper

And this is just the beginning of the aftermath

but I dont' rock with eminem cause half of me is black

I used to sell crack but now I'm making 'em feel wrath

through the pen and to the pen and everywhere the ave

I'm going to new york

just to make myself a star

take myself a broad then the game I'll change uh huh

take it in production and we bake it like it's raw

take it in blood but my name still isn't Nas

I'm going to new york

just to make myself a star

take myself a broad then the game I'll change uh huh

take it in production and we bake it like it's raw

take it in blood but my name still isn't Nas
