Apple Doesn't Know Jay-Z 19 years, 3 months ago by Martey Dodoo

While the iTunes Music Store recognizes that "Big Pimpin'" is not a track on 2003's The Black Album, but is actually from the 1999 album "Vol. 3: Life and Times of S. Carter", one must wonder where the young Apple employee who made the iTunes screenshot found on the Playlists page went wrong. I suspect it was sometime near the addition of Liz Phair.

More seriously, the combination of "Big Pimpin'," one of Jay-Z's most popular songs with an ID tag claiming that it is from "The Black Album," one of his most popular albums, suggests that the song was not ripped to the computer from CD. Since it is unlikely that it was downloaded from the iTunes Music Store or another online music distributor (most of whom use DRM-enabled Windows Media Audio, which cannot be played in iTunes, anyway), one must wonder whether that young Apple employee broke their own company's guidelines.
