I honestly think this is the dumbest idea ever, especially if you're buying a hip-hop album, where half the words are cuss words and half the song is bleeped.
And there's a deluxe album for a reason. People want extra tracks from their faves.
I live by a Target so going to Walmart is unnecessary.

EDIT: I know this is kinda bitching, sorry. Just curious if anyone worked at Walmart and could tell me why.

Because Wal-Mart is a lessor.

Look at the demographic of the shoppers of Walmart. There goes your answer.

My guess is that then more kids will buy from Wal-Mart &, thus parents too.

.

To protect their family friendly image.

But I mean, if they are going to carry rated M games, they might as well carry PA labeled cds.

.

Isn't their demographic everyone tho?

Is this a US thing? Because Walmarts here sell deluxe editions and I think they sell explicits too

And regardless of demographics, I it has a parental advisory sticker on it they won't let a child buy it unless a parent was doing it

There's no reason for them not to sell deluxe editions though

I know, I bought Unapologetic the other day, and know they just ruined the whole album... Should have bout it at Target SMH I really regret it. But I am NOT spending $14.99 out off my momma's paycheck for just a dirty album doesn't matter though, I didn't like the album anyways so....

For real. I grew up in a conservative house, and it always boggled my mind that we could watch a PG-13 movie that had swearing it, but not listen to music with swearing in it.

Wal-Mart has become ****** for music purchases anyways. Every one I have been to has such a little selection that I don't even bother. Best Buy and Target are much better. I prefer Best Buy though.

Family demographic. Explicit albums don't fall into that equation.

i hate walmart but mine does carry deluxe editions but THEY NEVER HAVE THE CD'S WHEN THEY ARE RELEASED. They get them a week LATER what kinda ******** ?

I'm mad they can just throw homosexuality in the middle of that list. So beyond ****ed up.

I never realized that
