everybody thinks everything is a single when the first songs off an album leak... people even thought West Side Right on time was an album cut when it was a free song


the recipe was never going to be the single... it's a typical west coast sound, it couldn't work since msot radios don't play regional songs anymore.
Kendrick still wanted to release a video for that bonus song but fans asked a video for swimming pool instead

It didn't get a great response from radio initially so Interscope pulled back on the song... they actually had a date set to shoot the video it happens more often then people think... they didn't want to take a chance on Kendrick because they spent too much time & money building him up so they released "Swimming Pools" because T-Minus was hot at the time...

Interscope explained they couldn't release is as a single for THAT reason: http://www.thecoli.com/threads/ebro-hot-97-says-no-to-regional-sounding-hiphop.118986/
What about that unreleased track (2009) that TDE added on itunes a few months ago ? it's a single too ?
what about Now Or Never ? it was availalbe on itunes for 5 months ? is it a single ?![]()
First off it says on iTunes, in the song title, "The Recipe - Single". Secondly I googled Now or Never iTunes and didn't get anything so I don't know what you're talking about.
