“Due to individuals illegally distributing my album, I have no choice but to move the release date of The Black Album,” stated Jay-Z. “I have made sure that my album is available at a lower price for my fans. In turn, I hope my fans will support me and Roc-A-Fella Records and buy my final release in an appropriate way, either via a retail store or a legitimate digital distribution site. You plan to do one thing and you just have to go to plan B. That’s why we’re moving the release date to Friday, November 14th. There’s no honor among thieves, people bootleg strictly for capital gain.”
As an incentive to his loyal fans who purchase the album, Jay is one- uping the recent giveaways by Obie Trice and G-Unit by offering up three Black CLK 320 sport sedan Mercedes Benz. Meanwhile ten fans will have the opportunity to win limited edition books featuring lyrics and original artwork.
The big question is, will retail version of “The Black Album” be the same as the version that leaked?? Or does Jay-Z have one last trick up his sleeve? I know where I’m putting my money.
