Title: Mobb Deep seems to be taking advantage of the leak...

Visit this link.  They encourage the fans to pick which track off "Blood Money" should be their next single:

Anyone else find that rather interesting?  That means they're assuming their fans have heard the leaked album in its entirety...how could they possibly be happy about cats dling their album two weeks before it comes out?

Well, it's a catch 22.  If they diss the fans for DLing the album, the fans will be like "Fuck Mobb Deep" and not want to purchase the album.  And if they encourage it, they're ultimately fucking themselves because it will hurt their sales. 

Might as well embrace it and try to use it to your advantage best you can.  Smartest move they've made in a while.

Yeah, but Jimmy can't possibly be too happy about them doing shit like this.

They said it wasn't a full leak. And who cares if the album leaks. If you were going to buy it anyways, then you should still buy it. I always listen to the leaked albums, then buy them if their good.

yall dont understand man...this aint 1994 no more man...these rappers be internet savvy nowadays.
rappers never made money on major releases unless they sell millions.
rappers make the paper on ringtones and concerts and endorsments more then anything.

It's just a marketing ploy, I wouldn't look that deep into it.  They are just trying to get people interested in what's going to be the next single, and hype the album, and have people talking about it like we are doing now.  Btw, I think the new album is dope.
