The Wackness Drops A ’90s Rap Purple Tape

thewacknesspurple_main.jpg
When your BBQs get rained out this weekend, you may want to consider going to see The Wackness, which hits theaters in NY and LA tomorrow. The movie'which follows a weed-dealing teenager in 1994 NYC'features a soundtrack filled with classic '90s New York rap shit that will get you in that summertime mood.

Last night we hit up a screening of the movie, and they gave out a special mixtape with 35 classic joints that didn’t make the soundtrack. With a purple cassette (a nod to Raekwon’s Cuban Linx) and joints from folks like Biggie, Fu Schnickens, Black Moon and Mary J. Blige, it’s a nice little collector’s item for the rap nerd who has everything. We’re just a little confused by the fine print on the tape’s cover that says “Tunes Inspired By The Motion Picture.” Shouldn’t it be the other way around? View the full tracklist and download an MP3 version of the tape after the jump.
