Update: It's now online.

I just received my copy of "Hustlenomics" with the K-Mart exclusive voicetone. It comes with a separate insert that tells you to go to http://www.yungjoc.com/kmart. The only thing is that if you go there, you are redirected to http://www.block-ent.com/yungjoc, seemingly unable to redeem the voicetone. I'll report back when I know more.

I mentioned the Yung Joc mobile trading cards as being featured on the "Hustlenomics" album insert. I thought we'd cover the subject a bit more. The site to sign up is http://cards.yungjoc.com. You sign up (at the site or by texting JOC to 87233 (TRADE)) and get 3 mobile trading cards per week for $1. They are holding a contest to promote it.

People who collect all 40 cards will be entered into a drawing for $1,000 dollars. People who collect all 15 cards in the "Song Lyrics" set get entered into a drawing for a phone call with Joc. And there are 50 random instant winners that will get an autographed Yung Joc poster poster. The contest goes until November 18, 2007. At this time, the top collector, HU$TLENOMiC$, has 21 cards. The second place collector, ciel711, is a ways back at 9.

As I look over the iTunes version of "Hustlenomics", I noticed a bit more than just a different intro. There's two big gaps in the album. The first is with "Hell Yeah" - if you look in the iTunes store, you'll see that it is only 2:20. Diddy's verse is gone and only Joc's first two are in the song. The second gap is "Chevy Smile", where you are only given the first 1:59 of the song. The song fades as Trick Daddy starts his verse. Somehow, these 3 tracks were submitted to iTunes instead of the ones that should have been. Notice that the clean version of the album is how it should be. So, if you purchased the clean version of the album, you're fine.

I contacted someone at the label for comment and was told that they are working on a solution. We'll have more when something happens. Hopefully, those that have already purchased the album will be able to get those tracks.

The intro for the iTunes version of "Hustlenomics" is different from the intro that is on the main CD version (at least, the CD that came with the DVI version). The iTunes one is Block talking while the other one is Joc's dad talking, followed by Joc rapping.
