creative [denmark]

as predicted and requested, crates of ag starts a new series today. on focus are artists/ groups from other countries than canada or the us. i thought a good way to beginn would be a post about denmarks mc creative.

i'm pretty sure his first appearance on the scene was the cd single called "the exclusive presentation" which came out in 1996. almost every track by creative had been produced by the copenhaniacs (jaybiz, dj shok and creative).

CREATIVE "THE EXCLUSIVE PRESENTATION" CD SINGLE '96

1. NATURAL
2. ONE ON ONE
3. EXPECT WRECK
4. THE HARD WAY

two of the four tracks from the cd were featured on his first vinyl 12" in '97. broken records europe put out "natural" & "one on one".

CREATIVE 12" '97

1. NATURAL
2. ONE ON ONE

one year later, the same collaboration, production- and labelwise, released another 12" called "the presentation". a three-tracker featuring promoe of the looptroop and hi-tech. unfortunately i traded my copy of this one away..but check out nap3platez, which had a post about that one (did i trade it to you ron?!).

in the year '99, creative strikes back with an exclusive danish promo. "with subdo the mic" he put out a personal classic of mine. on the flipside you can find the very very 1st pressing of promoe's "off the record", which had three more different pressings afterwards.

PROMOE / CREATIVE PROMO '99

1. OFF THE RECORD
2. SUBDO THE MIC

and last but not least, creative put out another 12" in '00. besides "creatively wise" featuring copywrite & camu tao and "networking" featuring freestyle of the arsonists and knox, you'll get an exclusive demo version of "continuosly "from '97.

CREATIVE 12" '00

1. CREATIVELY WISE (FEAT. COPYWRITE & CAMU TAO)
2. NETWORKING (FEAT. FREESTYLE)
3. CONTINOUSLY (FEAT. HI-TECH & PROMOE)

use the comments section in case i forgot anything. and if anyone has the mentioned cd from '96, i'm eager to hear the other 2 tracks on there!

enjoy!

two of a kind

there are lp-tracks out there you wish to get released as 12", promo or even bootleg. and then just when you gave up the hope you find out about some scarce pressings you've never imagined to be existing. exactly that was the way i felt when i found out about these two...

elektra and sureshot entertainment released two promo's of busta rhymes and rah digga back in '00 (i guess). pressed up in good old germany.

on the busta rhymes one you'll get "enjoy da ride", "show me what you got" (both produced by jay dee) and most notably "the heist" featuring raekwon, ghostface & roc marciano of the un with an awesome production by large pro. on top you get all three instrumentals as well. stones throw used the beat of "show me what you got" on their first white label in '02 on jaylib's "the message".

the tracks featured on the rah digga release: "lessons of today" by primo and pete rocks "what they call me". again, both with instrumentals.

it's always good to see, that there are more records out there than expected. does anyone know how many copies of these were done?

BUSTA RHYMES PROMO '00

1. ENJOY DA RIDE (PROD. JAY DEE)
2. SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT (PROD. JAY DEE)
3. THE HEIST FEAT. RAEKWON, GHOSTFACE & ROC MARCIANO (PROD. LARGE PRO)



RAH DIGGA PROMO '00

1. LESSONS OF TODAY (PROD. PREMIER)
2. WHAT THEY CALL ME (PROD. PETE ROCK)



please do not ask for instrumentals. thanks.

enjoy!
