E-40 New Albums Sharp On All 4 Corners 1 2 3 4

Not everyone likes the same songs though, everytime he drops these albums everyone lists there fav songs and they all different. I would much rather have 2-4 albums to pick my fav songs for personally. 40 Water still better than 99% of rap music out there, if he got a ton of tracks made why no release em to the fans. I didnt like "I Be On My Shit" on that latest E-40 album but some friends love that track and is one of there favs. Who am I to say, rock an album with 10 songs instead of 3 albums with more songs to pick from. Not gonna say my friends are wrong for loving I Be On My Shit instead of "Got That Line". Everyone is different!
What is one mans garbage is another mans slap.

Lol. I think that would be funny.. It would give it some rhyme and reason.. So you can automatically block out the shit you know without a doubt you don't like. It's hard the way itis, your forced to listen to every single track just to sort out the bullshit/filler.. Once done, I'm angry and want to punch someone in the face, cuz I lost 2 hours of my life over BULLSHIT Ill never get back.
Haha I like I be on my shit. My favorite track on 4 5 & 6 is http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-ttzOaZ-xLM
I think it's more of a sales pitch rather that quantity. Release 3 to 4 albums at the same time & most consumers feel they need all 3 or 4 rather than just one of the Cd's from that release. At the end of it all it's looking good on sound scan.
I'm just putting it out there. Hypothetically speaking, if he sells 250,000 of this 4 album release it'll count as four albums sold per sale of the box set or however they sell these 4 albums... that's a platinum plaque.
Either way it's a win win for 40 Water when you read it on paper.

Wrong. It does not count as 4 Units per one Purchase, it's 4 Completely Separate Albums being released on the same day. They are packaged and sold individually as single albums. Each unit sold counts as 1. If they were packaged all together, they might get the 4 for 1 situation, but not the way he's been doing it. They might as well be named 4 different titles, they are being released as 4 albums on the same day, he just presents it as a collective, but it's not packaged that way.
Plus if you look at the Sales Charts, Soundscan, Billboard, etc, you'll see E-40's recent albums all over them in different places, that's because there are so many versions of them. There's the CD Retail releases, there's the iTunes version, there's the Deluxe Versions, they're all separate, and they all hit the charts individually.
Multi-disc
"Multi-disc albums are counted once for each disc within the album if it is over 100 minutes in length or is from the vinyl era. For example, each copy of The Smashing Pumpkins's Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness (running time of 121:39), OutKast's Speakerboxxx/The Love Below (running time of 134:56), and Shania Twain's Up! (145:44), all double albums, were counted twice, meaning each album was certified diamond after 5 million copies were shipped. Pink Floyd's The Wall and The Beatles' White Album, both vinyl-era, are also counted double even though their running times are under the minimum requirement."

That's nice you went and did a Google search but you didn't read what I said obviously.
Albums Packaged TOGETHER in Double, Triple, etc, can count as 2 for 1, 3 for 1, etc, such as 2Pac "All Eyez On Me", E-40 "The Element Of Surprise" (2 CD's Packaged in the same Case)
The Albums E-40 is currently releasing are not classified as a Double Album, or Triple Album, it's simple 3 Separate Albums on the same day or in this case 4 Albums on the same day. That's why I said they could all have different names because they are not classified as a set. Even though the titles suggest that, they are NOT PACKAGED in the SAME CASE.
