It seems The Chef’s long awaited follow up to the classic Purple Tape has been pushed back yet again. Although this time, Rae promises it’s set in stone. Hit the jump for the artwork…
According to Miss Info, Rae enlisted Ghostface and the original OB4CL cover photographer, Danny Hastings, to recreate the classic. Fresh.
oh wtf. pushing it back yet again. it better come out this date
man this shit only pushed back a month, we get a rae and jay album in the same week…man hiphop is back better than ever..the cover is sick as hell
thats my birthday
the dopeness of that artwork cancels out my anger at the release date being pushed back once again…
the artwork is dope as hell!
I don’t like the artwork :/
i like the art since its reminiscent of only built for 1
most anticipated album of the year for me. covers fresh.
great idea
THIS IS SO HOT!
I FUCKING DIG THIS!!!!!!!!!

I’m sick over this one. August 11th is my born day and that’s all I wanted. With Budden being so disrespectful @ Meth that took away some of the anticipation for Slaughterhouse but I guess that will have to do. Nice cover by the way.
Nice cover, I was pissed last night when he pushed it back but he better not do it again!!!
i liked the raw look on OB4CL, but this is, well, kinda corny. it looks like a liquor ad.
but… the music’s all i need haha.
He should get the cd glass case or whatever its called tinted a slightly purple also. Just an idea though.
can i just say that this looks like they pulled it off some kids deviant art account. they coulda down way better. i love the simplicity of OB4CL
So OB4CL II first.
Then Blueprint Tres two days later?
oh hell.
nope. fuck you raekwon. OB4CL is one of my top 5 albums and the Wu is my favorite group, but fuck this album and fuck raekwon. you can only push an album back so much till i don’t give a shit (re: detox and seventh seal also).
if it drops it drops, if not, i never expected it to. fuck it
i don’t like the art either. looks like a wack ass mixtape cover made on photoshop. :/ i hope the albums good tho.
The cover for part 1 and part 2 look exactly the same. lol
wen i saw “pushed back” i feared the worst but sept 8th not bad…love the cover art, wen 09 started OB4CL2, DMX albums, Slaughterhouse (Plus Solos), BP3, and Back On My BS (lil disappointed) were the 5 i was looking for, oh and Rakim The Seventh Seal, where is that btw, Ra said we should have a single in march which we didnt and over here in the UK most websites say it comes on July 20th??
Sept 8th – Cuban Linx II
Sept 11th – Blueprint 3 (Although still a sad day)
Hopefully we get DMX albums did finish of a good year in hip hop for me.
im ready
Damn, another push back? Like I’ve said before, I’ll believe it when it comes out. And then I’ll be first in line to buy it.
purple tape is my #1 album of all times. But nothing I’ve heard from him (ie. the vatican series, blood on chef’s apron) has me souped for this album.
[...] 2DBz, HHO and Raekwon’s [...]

Real fresh.
Anything less than classic material will make me dissapointed.
lol artwork is kinda wack but oh well. Raekwon should leak a tracklist soon…
yo the artwork is pretty weak, rae looks constipated and cropped in poorly.
[...] artwork leaked at the beginning of this month, now we have what might be the official tracklist. Check the [...]

Uhh where are they gonna that Parental Advisory tag?
That type cover might have been hot in ‘95, but now..?
I can make this shit in under 15 mins in photoshop, so fckin lame
Who can this album cover is lame weak whatever you want to call it real hip hop heads know whats happening. They taking back obviously and when the first Cuban Linx came it came out it was on a purple tape with Pt.2 being in purple come on shit is classic read in betwen the lines. The sad thing Blueprint 3 I haven’t been bang hard as this I still bang the original Cuban Linx.
