There is not real need to add any further words to the whole thing with Kanye and Jay-Z releasing their album at Best Buys or on itunes exclusively for 10 days.
Sure, you can argue that somebody who really wanted to buy the album would have had only two options, but what if you weren't able to get to a Best Buys, or your don't buy mp3s because you are interesting in owning actual things, and not just files stored on your computer. And what if you don't live in America? Who gives a fuck about those people?
What really pissed me off though, was that the bonus tracks on the Deluxe Edition are actually really good. 3 of the 4 deserve to be on the album. How the fuck did H.A.M not make the album? How in the world did the Pete Rock track not make the album? It is easily one of the best songs on the Deluxe Edition, and yet doesn't make the cut on the original.
And why release a Deluxe version on the same day as the original? Don't these things come out a bit later to help generate further sales? To make hardcore fans buy two copies?
How much money do these two guys need? I am unhappy about this, and Kanye must take some blame, even though in my eyes, he is often blameless. He agreed to it, by agreeing to make an album with Jay-Z. Agreed to fucking his fans over. But maybe I would fuck my fan over for a extra couple of million bucks.
Word.
