    Nas's "The Sickness" isn't on the vinyl release.
    What a disappointment....
    • Willard_fatman's avatar
      My copy came with the 45 outside the sleeve, covered in surface scratches. The main LP had some as well. Anyone else this unfortunate?

        I believe the track listing is incorrect. My 7" also has a B-Side of "The Ex (R&B Version).

          The bonus 7" I got has a b-side of an "R&B version" of The Ex, not an instrumental. Were there variations as to what the bonus 7" was, or is the current tracklisting here incorrect?

            It's good to see this being sold at a reasonable price, especially since it's a highly sought after release. Got mine at my local record store but, still good to see that though.
