Jake the Flake cassette tapes?
- Thread starter Mixerr
- Start date
Maybe his first tape "Out 2 Get Rich" that was only on tape but I doubt that others would go that high.
Actually that "Out 2 Get Rich" is available for like $15 on discogs.

Yeah there is an SMG version, most of the "semi-underground" stuff had SMG versions.... Dayton Family, Master P etc...
The covers are cooler but I really don't see why they're so collectable.
They're a bit more rare but not much...
I prefer to collect promos - those are 100x more rare than the OG version, considering they're all first press and most likely the first off the press considering they go straight to radio stations.
Collectors just don't like them because technically they're illegal to sell.

Well the cover and sometimes the disc is usually stamped in gold and it says "this product belongs to ____ record company"
Those promos are the first to go out because how else would you know to buy the cd if you haven't hard it first on the radio or by a DJ spinning it or putting it on his mixtape.
So all promos are certainly OG's..

Of course they didn't have the same track listing - they changed the format of the CD based on the promo..
It's quite usual for promos to have completely different track listing or even tracks that aren't on the official release..
All a promo is - is basically a "test run" of a cd sent to radio stations... It's almost like a pilot for a TV show...
That's why I like promos so much.... Many can be way different than the official release - even the cover and artwork can be different.
Most promos are nothing more than a marketing trial.
Radio stations play certain songs or in some cases the entire album and then poll people to think what they think about the album. Some tracks are cut and replaced with instrumentals and other tracks are added..
That's why the record companies in theory own them because all that music is preparatory - hence even buying or selling a promo is considered corporate espionage - not that anyone has ever been charged for selling or buying a promo.

Flaimm. if I post a pic of it and prove you wrong then you buy it from me for 500?
You do realize I bought "the ghettos tryn' to kill me". "Whats on my mind" and "flint town thugs" at the same time and they are all SMG.
