It is called a re-relese. This is what happens when you put out a regional album and a major distribution company wants to push it nationwide. Eminem's first album was all of his old shit with 4 new Dre tracks. Ludacris, same shit. When a company finds something they like they run with it and spread it outside of the region. It seems cool for the artist because it allows THERE sound to be heard nationwide. I bought it and The 5 new songs on there were worth the perchase.
