" Far from Wu mansion and some 7,000 feet above sea level here in Park City, Utah\u2014yet still below the watchful gaze of a 7-foot-tall, ponytailed security guard named Vigar\u2014Raekwon and Ghostface Killah announced details last night about The Purple Tape Files, a documentary they&amp;#039;re putting together to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Raekwon&amp;#039;s solo debut album, 1995&amp;#039;s Only Built 4 Cuban Linx. Sundance attendees on hand at the Independent Filmaker&amp;#039;s Lounge were treated to a seven-minute trailer from the still-unfinished movie, which included footage of graffitied rooftops, pigeon-reflecting puddles, and Wu contemporaries Nas and Busta Rhymes sitting regally underneath chandeliers. &amp;quot;I felt that it was only right to come out here and give ya&amp;#039;ll a piece of us on film,&amp;quot; said Raekwon, during the Q&amp;amp;amp;A portion of the catered event. &amp;quot;When I finished making this album, I felt like I made the best album in the world. We always felt like it would be around forever, because there&amp;#039;s kids that go through that everyday, still stuck in them hard times, rainy days and not being able to tell [their] story. So we speak for them.&amp;quot; Raekwon was the fourth member of Wu-Tang Clan to go out on his own after the hip-hop group broke through with 1993&amp;#039;s Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers). His &amp;quot;brother for the rapture&amp;quot; Ghostface Killah was a prominent performer and an executive producer on OB4CL, and followed up a year later with a solo debut of his own. &amp;quot;People never really got to hear or see the goin&amp;#039; into [the making of OB4CL],&amp;quot; said Ghostface Killah during the Q&amp;amp;amp;A. &amp;quot;So we&amp;#039;re just gonna give it to you onscreen. It&amp;#039;s gonna capture the emotions: happiness, sadness, and realness at the end of the day.&amp;quot; To finish the documentary, the two dapper Wu-Tang Clan members\u2014Ghostface Killah was wearing a houndstooth scarf and a mink cap, while Raekwon accessorized with 11 p.m. sunglasses and a ring of perforated diamonds that resembled a golf ball\u2014are launching ThePurpleTapeFiles.com, where they hope fans will donate money to the project in exchange for exclusive merchandise and behind-the-scenes access. In a back room after the presentation, as Ghostface Killah was admonishing a young man for bringing him chips instead of popcorn, Raekwon fielded a question about their fundraising goal. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s just all about the participation, no number,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s just about people getting involved and really showing us that, You know what? I care about this legendary album.&amp;quot; Later, Jean Shepherd, who is co-directing the film with Mike McSweeney, guessed that they could raise $1 million. &amp;quot;They&amp;#039;re superstars,&amp;quot; he said. Additional events to promote the crowd-funding campaign will take place leading up to the Grammys in February and also at South by Southwest in March. It is unknown whether future screenings will also be catered with peanut butter\u2013and-jelly French toast and toothpick-speared chicken and waffles. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
