I was looking at one for sale - and I found that the watermark on the image leads to an obscure artist's photo page.page and 3 ghost seller accounts including one I already have a PayPal claim against. They even have photos bragging about getting CD and lathe Vinyl pressing equipment. The bootlegger, seller, and discogs submitter are all the same person and it's a total scam.

Just playing detective, was it common for skinny cases to exist in 1993? The more I think about this, the more I feel like it's total bullshit and a scam. I sold plenty of bootlegs cd-r's back in the day, but it wasn't until 1997.

Regarding that RA The Rugged Man CD, I say guaranteed it's FAKE and was made by that kid sellin it. These days you can make shit that looks legit. There was no such thing as a slimline case back then. And I know CD-R's existed, but were there such things as Promo CD-R's from labels during that time? Whatever the case, the whole slimline case thing. It would be more believable if there was a Promo Cassette.
Has anyone asked RA himself on Twitter or IG or FB or somethin?

The legitimacy of the promo cd might be true. I really do hope you're getting the real deal.
But I've got an undeniable feeling that whatever that guy is selling is just a bootleg. And that he has 2 of them?

I bought a gravediggaz hiphopsite promo CD from his other account and got no replies for 2 months. Filed seller not responding and PayPal claim. Discogs account gturner1 was suspended and Jesse rekless immediately appeared.
Searched for the email address on the CD watermark and found account for "nv one" with photos of crustified dibbs material, CD and vinyl pressing equipment, and the same photo used as gturner1's avatar. Gturner1 also had a bunch of messages about message him for crustified dibbs.
Even if there were real promo CDs- in which case we would have better tips circulating than tinny tape dubs- I really assume that he pressed these himself if you even get them

Thanks for the update. Too bad it's not the real thing.
There was a version kicking around here for awhile that was cleaned up by forum member Vaporized. If you don't have it, I know I've got it somewhere on an external drive.

Just saw this posted...thought the people in this thread would be interested...
My boy found this box of my old dat tapes, We've been transferring the tapes and been finding so much old school unreleased RUGGED MAN stuff, Music I didn't even remember recording. We found entire lost albums, lost songs, we found remixes of my famous songs with entirely different verses I don't remember recording... some stuff from 25 years ago even.. I'm not sure what I should do with all of this music. Its crazy..
I was just gonna post this. Would really like to hear that American Lowlife album that ended up on the priority shelf back in the early 2000’s
