But people are being tricked into buying YouTube rips, unless that’s specified on the release. The title “vault” implies they are from Travis’ vault and a high quality original source, not from YouTube.

This man even had to steal his own music

Just put it out for the fans. Once you put out more than 2 versions of a 10 year old project you’re not any better than Taylor Swift

And one day you will probably understand that nobody was being forced to purchase or engage in any of these additional versions.

This like being mad at Coldplay for doing 200 shows on their last tour to reach a billion in box office. No one was forced to buy those tickets man

Yeah I have enough

Stupid d***sucker lol

Nobody was tricked because nobody was forced

that billboard article explaining his numbers gonna be hilarious. they gotta justify this bullshit

Except it’s not the same. Those exclusives were to the benefit of the stores to get people to buy it from them. It wasn’t for the artist to sell multiple copies. Literally no one in that era ever bought every store exclusive release

It’s not d***suck, y’all just exaggerate s*** and get mad over something you literally don’t have to engage in. Be mad at Taylor for introducing this digital deluxe tactic to the mainstream

Why would the artist give a store an exclusive track solely to help the store

Are you stupid

You can trick people to buy sub par misleading product without forcing them to buy it

They're going to block this since he's black

Just like white artists abused bundles and when Travis did the same they immediately changed the rules

F*** billboard

This is music man, you acting like he said it was unreleased music and he sold them rain sounds

It wasn’t up to the artist at all. The labels had deals with the stores and gave them extra songs. It wasn’t to sell multiple versions of the album, because that wasn’t a thing

It seems like you understand the side I’m coming from yet you still saying Travis is corny I’m confused

Travis didn’t start this wave, Taylor did. Why are you mad at Travis for playing the same game?

they'll just change the rules before his next album. its too late now

20k streams is outrageous

You see it differently and thats ok but I wont change my opinion

I'm fine with doing it for new albums but this album is 10 years old and most of the tracks he dropped aren't even from that era. Yeah, you're not forced to buy this but he did it on short notice and people feel entitled to buy it

Travis knows this and for me it's psychological warfare. I don't f*** with that

throw the whole music industry away

Dropping multiple versions of the same album in the first week so people buy it multiple times so you can debut #1 is corny regardless of who’s doing it

They are both corny for this

whole music game is a joke right now

embarrassing behavior

Add Swifties and Barbz to this

“It’s not d***suck”

Shawty isn't qualified enough to compete with an artist of his caliber and I say that as someone who's a casual Travis listener at best. She just popped out in that pop space and has had a few good songs from what my girl tells me

How do you expect me to answer this for you bro it’s some s*** people care about for whatever reason they want

How is it d***suck, y’all act like there’s a gun to people’s heads to buy these extra versions

What Taylor is doing is 1000x worse
