Buying a physical copy will not be an issue if it's usual high standard like Eminem's stuff I mean a booklet with lyrics, dope cover, etc. But the album really have to be awesome after the delays. They keep making promises and keep disappointing fans then it's no wonder that people are upset. They proclaimed themselves as a 'fan made group' and how it's all for the fans but they really don't act like it.
Clearly there is a business side of this and Jimmy Io can't sleep well unless he's able to count his millions and still get a hard on from it. But I don't really give a fuck. I don't want to hear no excuses. If they are full-time corporate puppets now and Em has nothing in his power to help them ('help us help you help us' LOL) then it would be better to say 'album's coming soon' instead of July on BET and then we would know that it's not coming in the near future. But that 'it's May, no it'll be June, actually it's July, sorry but it's August now' would be a nonsense.
Especially with all the current promotion going on it would be stupid even from Interscope to fuck this up again. There's still no major release on July 10 and 24 so...
But it's possible that after Kanye's The Graduation beat Curtis Jimmy Io is out for revenge hence the same release date. I really hope though that's not the way they are to handle Slaughterhouse.
