it's the same hustle companies use on infomercials when they sell you a potato chip bag opener for $19.99 and if you order now you can get another one free so that's 2 for the value of 1 
when it's really only 1 for ten dollas

It seems to me like album-quality songs (in the eyes of the artist) that don't fit the sequence or theme of the album. They're usually up for legal downloading anyway after the release. In rap music usually a straight "banger" track on what might have been a more concept driven album. Or like it's been said a song that was received well but has been in rotation for so long it's no longer wanted on the actual album. No idea why "nasty" couldn't fit on LIG though, that's definitely a harder track than the don, maybe hrow it on after loco-motive...it's a good song to be placed in the first few slots like a return to nasty nas.

No limit used to have the most tracks. I can dig that.
Weezy said he only got paid for 12 songs on C4 but he added more for fans.
They tryna get those itunes single sales
Mirror, Super Bass and The Motto are all bonus tracks but were also the biggest hits of each of their album. Crazy how the game has changed

I wish they still had "hidden" tracks on CD's, where the track would be empty for 2-3 minutes then a song just pops outta nowhere.

It's one thing if the bonus cuts released are extras that wouldn't have made the album.. but now a days the biggest singles from the album are bonus cuts.. doesn't make sense to me.
I'll never complain about getting more songs, but that's not what they're doing most of the time. They're giving you a 13/14 track album and then putting three songs that would've been on the album on iTunes or in a deluxe edition. The only one giving people actually bang for their buck is Tech N9ne. His last album had 23 tracks on it, and then gave out 6 extra tracks that didn't make the cut as iTunes, Best Buy and FYE exclusives.

They still do that from time to time. Blu and Fashawn's albums are the most recent examples
