Great album tho, Hope they take more time on there 2nd album and get some better production and hopefull a DJ Premier beat or 2 would be better! 8)

Someone from VIP Records in Long Beach posted up a pic on their twitter last week showing proof that they purchased a copy. I'm not certain, but I think VIP falls in that "Mom & Pop" category? I don't think the Urban Indie numbers will show that big of a boost, but every copy counts.

Post by: Crooked I on August 18, 2009, 05:49:53 PM: the problem was that everyone got the fully album 2 weeks before it came out on download sites,i downloaded it around 3 weeks ago but also bought the album on amazon to support my niqqz but i guess most ppl didnt buy it because they already listened to it 10000 times till it came out

slaughterhouse should really think how this could happen !!!!!!!!!!! how could the album be online 2 weeks before release ?and then completely ???? i mean some songs okay but the whole album !!!!!!!!!!!
