Does it have the original so be it?
Only the white vinyl with the black sleeve on sale now does, that one and the other old ones don't have the song at all

This was the conversation I was having about sales earlier.

I'm happy these dudes sold what they sold because it promotes this style of rap.

And you may see rollouts like this one come back. Labels will try mimic..
They can try but they're the reason legacy artists have the legs to drop in 2025 in the first place. When all the new "rappers" labels push are barely rapping words at this point, 20+ year acts like Push/Clipse are breaths of fresh air. They just had to switch labels to put this album out, so yeah no reason to trust labels will get anything right.

But we're also at a point where it's accepted, sales officially don't matter. I don't think older artists are afraid to drop anymore, you can't win the numbers game but you can win on quality. But at this point nobody's winning numbers except Bunny & Swift and they're light compared to pop stars 20 years ago. Or there's What Did I Miss going #2 and falling to 29-30 the 2nd week, it's like what are we talking at this point

Question for you and everyone. Do you think this album would've did these numbers if it was a surprise drop?
First week, no. Eventually overall, yes.

What’s become apparent through certain lyrics and interviews:

Malice was more closely involved to prior activities than Pusha. His stepping away from the game coincided with legal trouble getting a little close to home with their team. Makes sense why Pusha continued to talk that shyt unscathed for 15 years while he was low and his faith journey (Pusha wasn’t in as much potential danger)…also makes sense why he never judged his brother. Between the two he likely knows he’s done more dirt.

I can definitely see that. Escpecially when hearing their lyrics Malice felt more sinister, in your face, how it really goes on, while Pusha's lyrics felt more chill and broad.
