BiG PuN`s "PRe-TRiaL MoTioN" [PRoMo TaPe]...

Gotta say that I miss Big Pun, dude`s humor was definitely refreshing for HiP HoP! With that said, I was going thru my HiP HoP collection last night searching for something to share with y`all & came across this cassette that I hadn`t listened to since I first got it from DJ LiNT`d PoCKeTs back in 1998. This joint right here is a lil` promo tape that Loud Records put together just before Pun`s first album "Capital Punishment" was released to help generate a buzz...

It features a few cuts from that album as well as a few collabo`s that Pun did along with a couple B-Side singles. Another cool thing about this tape is that the track "I`m Not A Player" is slightly different that the album version, so that alone is worth checkin` it. Originally while I was editing the files I was going to filter out the cassette~hiss, but when I tried it just sounded like Big Pun had eaten some Yoplait Tubes....LoL, so I decided to just leave them alone. The only thing that I did was adjust the volume & separate the tracks for easier listening -- so go `head & give this a listen...
