He's right tho time to abolish this trend of deluxe albums because more often than not, they're mid af and don't even elevate the quality of the album

He is right but the scam isn't going to stop

Deluxe tracks aren’t canon I just ignore them every time

Honestly, I always felt the idea of Deluxe albums on streaming platforms is a scam. Like bonus tracks should be something premium and not easily fed on a streaming platform just for more streams.

I’m with him on this matter.

That whole trend of dropping a whole separate album and calling it a deluxe was so lame.

Uzi was the only one to pull it off tastefully

Uzi the one who started that trend tho

Finally someone got guts to say this

100 percent agree

SZA scrapped that SOS Deluxe and she gon drop whole another album.

they hold their own weight, if only we had a word for it like, ‘bonus tracks’

He's right

The Weeknd with Afterhours

its not that deep. either the music is good or it isnt.

Agreed, those exclusive songs for buying the album at specific stores was kinda cool

That was only like two or three bonus tracks

huh? this was the biggest scam of them all. literally a cynical ploy to get you to buy the same $25 CD at 4 different retailers.

how much did he sell first week 🤭

Weeknd may have did it before Uzi but it wasnt such a huge moment as EA, where the deluxe was significantly better than the actual album

dont see how a 2-3 song deluxe is a scam

now a 10+ song deluxe? absolutely

I mean most people bootlegged the albums around here but I get what you mean, I just think having some exclusive tracks made the purchase feel more special

The additional tracks really enhanced an already amazing album tho

Tbh I dont see how that's any better. It's like video games with different versions that give you access to exclusive content.

cant be worse than the night core version, slowed revered version sped up version etc 21 savage and french montana are doing

Got a lil mad when he tried to sub brand it as lil uzi vs the world 2
