If this leads to a reduction of snippets we hear but never get then I'm all for it

Loosies should just be loosies. Let em leak. Miss me with that sprinkle mediocre shyt on a finished album and call it Deluxe BS.

You acted like all this way brand new, it wasn't. You've been told by MULTIPLE people now with MULTIPLE examples. Wunna Deluxe is exactly what you were just told, instead of having multiple exclusives for each streaming service and/or retailer they rolled all of them into one. All are throwaway tracks.

You are wrong. It isn't a new concept. I am not being a contrarian because there is no popular opinion in this thread lol. Again, saying Jay-z can't rap is a contrarian opinion because everyone knows that he in fact can.

You have google you dumbass, go look up definitions of words before you use them.

No you tryna make me look stupid and it's not gonna work fool

It's not multiple people it's you and Ziggiy on some old nikka nothing new under the sun shyt everyone else sees it

Yes you are being a contrarian because this is a "popular" opinion several posters other than me calling out you out for failing to read OP and not getting a basic concept.

This isn't the first thread on this topic

Billboard wrote an article on it
Hip-Hop's Instant Deluxe Edition Trend: Analysis

U can't show me any year in rap history where the entire game was dropping entire 10+ track deluxe editions and promoting them as pretty much second albums. U can't because this is completely new. All deluxes back then were 3-4 tracks at most and agreements with specific retailers. Not this shyt. Stop talking out your ass.

Rather have them organized on Apple Music than just let them leak
