Damn, my Best Buy had like 25 copies of it--the woman told me to dig through the new release cart and help myself. While I was looking at some other stuff, another guy came by and picked up a copy. It was good to see I wasn't the only one buying it!

Album is another great one, too.

Album is straight fire. Only complaint would be to tone down the "singy" hooks, but I do understand that this is 44 year old Scarface. Production is on point, crisp hard hitting beats. Them beats on No Problem, Dope Man Pushin, and fukk You Too :pachaha:

Of the singy light-hearted songs, my least favorite is probably the Cee-Lo one, but Face goes in on his verses.

I thought all the bonus tracks were dope. If I can get past the Akon hook, that song is dope. The last track I Don't Know is dope as hell, sounds like it's about an ex-girlfriend. Still think Mental Exorcism might be the best track on the album. That song is too nice.

Seriously, can't believe that's not on the main album. It's definitely one of, if not THE best song on the album. No way should it be only a bonus track.

Whole album is dope as hell, though we already knew that before hearing a song. Not sure that Face is capable of releasing an average album, let alone bad. Seen some hate for 'Voices', and I couldn't disagree more. It's one of my early favorite tracks. No point in comparing it to any of his past work, as it's much too early for all that, but it's definitely safe to say it's another strong addition to his already legendary catalogue.

We been talking about 2015 as a whole being a strong year for music, but damn, yesterday we got Ross' tape, this and K-Os' new album. Not a bad day at all.

I know sales don't matter but I can't believe an album of his quality is about to flop so hard. I went looking for the album and barely found it. I just want this album to go gold at least.

Really? From what I've read, it seems like a lot of people are buying the album. I only buy an album once every few years, but where do new albums usually get put in a store like best buy? I found it fairly easily in the new releases section. I think his sales will be fairly good on this, just got a feeling.

Oh ok....the best buy I went to had one copy and I got it. I went to the register and the dude was like "Face got a new album :ohhh:" I said it seems like it's sold out because I got the last copy. He said this was the first time he saw the album purchased and had no idea it dropped. This was at noon and the store opened at 10, so I'm not sure how many were stocked. And this thread itself is struggling for an all time great to have released an album. Like 2 hours for the last 10-15 posts. Hope I'm wrong though.

I highly doubt a best buy got only one copy of the album shipped to them. Probably means you got the last copy and the kid at the register was absent minded or somethin.
