    My theory is drake wanted to release it on Friday but also wanted to sell it with physicals and merch but he and his team realize they couldn’t just procrastinate until last minute to print all those physicals so the date got pushed. Since drake himself said the album is done

    this makes the most sense, given the success of utopia’s physicalss, along with akademiks saying his team was thinking about doing more physicals

    Thinking this too, I wonder how fast they could cook up vinyls. June/July to October is possible but who knows when he actually finished up the album

    This was a dogshit rollout as soon as it didn’t release with the book, and we’re officially entering CLB levels of s***ty prolonged rollouts.

    Like I said he should never said it was a summer s*** for u guys lol. And Yachty a clown for saying why did everyone think it was dropping when there was signs all over the place

    It was just funny that he mentioned singing and the first song on CD is Kanye singing

    We Don’t Care is a rap song though, as is the majority of The College Dropout, if not all of it.

    There are numerous songs on Take Care that are not rap songs, that’s the point he was trying to make about it being a classic but not necessarily a rap classic

    I doubt they care about driving up the numbers but if Drake did what Travis did and sold $5 vinyls he could realistically do 700-800k again

    Yea that’s what has me thinking, I rarely take Ak word as fact but if he is right that drake wants to get back in the physical game he can’t just drop Willy nilly anymore. which is why he couldn’t drop on Friday

    Where did those songs come from?

    The only ones you mentioned were Make Me Proud and We'll Be Fine at first

    But if we're talking Marvin's Room and Good Ones Go.... those are aging better than We Don't Care and School Spirit

    Seems like College Dropout isn't a classic, idk

    you brought up singing in spaceship and whatever other song bc I said people don’t consider tc because of the singing/r&b and filler. filler is subjective so whatever but lmao at those being the same level of ā€œr&bā€ as the records I mentioned from take care

    it don’t hurt my feelings if you don’t think college dropout is a classic lmao but it seems like you’re just using ridiculous hyperbole to say things you just don’t believe

    Ion think drake would do that lmao, bro cares too much about making a profit. And I think he can sell 700k again if he just sold regular physicals

    Multiple news and music outlets said it was coming and he hasn’t released a cover without the album in over half a decade. Why wouldn’t we think it was coming? F*** yachty.

    I’m alarmed if he didn’t understand that the first time. This site surprises me often now lol

    He mentioned Make Me Proud and We'll Be Fine at first which are rap songs with just sung hooks.

    If we're creating these arbitrary rules so that Take Care isn't a rap album anymore because of 5 or 6 songs on the tracklist that's interesting though, seems like a dated mentality to have

    Sounds like what someone stuck in the 90s would say

    Just give us the release date within a couple weeks and I’m good, even if the date is iin October or something. No reason to wait on that if you ā€œdecided what dateā€ already

    Man he could even put up a pre order link and all that s*** if what I’m saying is true and he wants to sell physicals

    I'm using your logic, i'm not bringing up anything at all. You hilariously mentioned College Dropout next to Get Rich or Die Trying and Illmatic, when the College Dropout has actually aged considerably over the last 20 years, there's plenty of skips (something you tried to use against Take Care), and he's even singing on a few songs.

    I'm literally using your logic, I guess College Dropout just isn't a classic

    It’s not 5 or 6 songs, almost half the album is not rap

    Shot For Me
    Crew Love (could go either way but Drake’s verse is very brief)
    Take Care
    Marvins Room
    Cameras / Good Ones Go
    Doing It Wrong
    The Real Her
    Practice
    Hate Sleeping Alone

    That’s basically half of the album

    for some reason you’re now playing stupid to ignore the part where I said that it’s also because they aren’t really fully rap albums even after the other dude broke it down to you (he just did one more time in the post above this one too if you still needed help) and at this point I have to bow out. enjoy your Friday gang
