Since this is a video review, I’ll be short. Purple Brick Road gets Two Cash Stacks for this effort. We’ll have to discuss the lyrics at a different time. This purple brick road video really should have featured, wait for it, a purple brick road. I’m just saying.

Just because I’m living this life I’m accustomed to it
Floating in them fly cars, damn I’m supposed to do it
Pretty women fall in love with my expensive taste, luxury, lust
Physical touch by this ace, handcuff ’em
That’s a no no ’cause I don’t trust them far as I can throw those
Gold diggin’ vixens who’s in love with the coco
But fuck it, you know I’m here for this dough though
Let’s pop another bottle of Don and watch our gross grow

• Raekwon The Chef, Purple Brick Road

I’m a big fan of Raekwon as an MC, as he’s one of Wu’s finest.

However, whowever advised him on the making of this video failed him. Not enough MC’s are working with talented directors who will truly lay out a vision that matches the song. Anyone can have a few models look sexy while playing with alcohol bottles. Again, I’m just saying. G-Easy on the feature, from Raekwon’s most recent album “The Wild”. (album review forthcoming!)
