Every Wal-Mart I've been to in 5 states has had both edited and unedited CDs.

And Wal-Mart almost never carries rap albums. So anyone looking for a rap album in a place where Wal-Mart is the only place to get a CD will lose out.
Apparently, I have been declared banished.

This article quotes a Rolling Stone issue stating that one in every five CD's purchased in the U.S.A come from Wal-Mart. So this is for the people that think no one buys CD's from there. In the words of Chris Rock, "It's like cocaine, everyone's doin' it but they sure as hell ain't gonna admit to it."
If a company isn't compeating with its near rivals it cannot be considered to be in the same market, therefore it is less likely to be a super market but a local grocery store, which is reality is tottally different from a supermarket.Originally Posted by lordblazer
Wal-Mart will never kill music, but unfortunately, I don't think W-M will have the decency to die, either. You're right about other mega-corporations sticking mostly to their own turf and not taking on Wal-Mart too much.
Discrepancies like these are not uncommon. Remember, outlets will have their differences, even in the same state. Hell, even in the same city sometimes. My local W-M carries almost nothing except pop and rap (not much hardcore rap), and most of it is censored--the unedited is practically never in stock. I got lucky once and found a Tool CD there, all by itself, uncensored. I also came up about 50 cents short on tax three times straight, so I don't go there much anymore. (I know the tax was my fault, but still.) In short, if you find some good music at Wal-Mart, consider yourself lucky and grab it quick before W-M CEOs notice it and take a hammer to it.

*shrugs* discrepencies sucks anyway..... lol
I guess you could chalk my local walmart's reluctance to carry both edit and uned CD's to the fact that i live in VA. mechanicsville va. The most conservative place on earth, bar George Bush's Ranch.
20% of all CDs leaves me with little fear that my favorite local CD store will shut down because of Wal-Mart alone.This article quotes a Rolling Stone issue stating that one in every five CD's purchased in the U.S.A come from Wal-Mart.

I have shopped at Wal-Mart before, but only for legos. And I emphasize ONLY.
Although Wal-Mart's grocery prices are low, I go to the other low-price grocery store(even though I work for Safeway). Wal-Mart, despite what its CEO says, is one of the worst places to work. Hundreds of thousands have sued Wal-Mart based on unpaid OT, low wages, and harrassment.
It's about as evil as you can get in this world without being truly evil. Cashiers at Wal-Mart barely start off past minimum wage. When I worked at Safeway, cashiers started at $9.10 in Maryland. Minimum wage is $5.15 in Maryland. Wal-Mart should primarily be based for teenage workers still in HS, not adults who have to support their kids. And they even have a greeter. Seriously, a greeter? I feel sorry for the guy/girl who has to stand at the door 8 hours a day greeting people.
I have an old scary man in my Walmart as a greeter.
Okay I could agree that Wal-Mart might become a communist faction if given enough power. As I like Wal-Mart and am a socialist at heart. Infact on an ideolouge test I got most of all my fricking points on 'leninist". (Canadians will get that one..)
Most of my friends are from Canada, us and Wal-Mart and Kong will rule you!
Either that or Dubyha' and Iran will build thier genetic clones and force us all to be Muslim.
Or maybe Walt Disney will finnaly be unfrozen and ressurected and the skinheads will march onto victory, I don't know. But only one of us is coming out of this wargame alive.
Oh wow. I never replied like I said I would...oops. Maybe later
They dont sell the underground stuff that I want anyways so I dont really mind
