Post Jay-Z Pulls iTunes Distribution on Latest CD - 11-14-2007, 04:49 PM

Jay-Z has opted not to license his latest album effort to iTunes, a move designed to protect the album format. The album, American Gangster, is connected to the major motion picture bearing the same name. Discussing the move, Jay-Z noted that "as movies are not sold scene by scene, this collection will not be sold as individual singles."

Jay-Z Opts not to have his album on Itunes to preserve "The Album" format:

All a publicity stunt, I think. Those who were going to buy it, will now go get the CD.
