yeah but if you remove the liked tweet + the daily updates aspects from the argument, i think it makes the argument that an album is coming friday even stronger.

I think the only concrete evidence we have for this Friday are the tour dates being moved, but that’s operating under the premise that:

1. The tour dates were moved specifically for the album release, which isn’t confirmed yet being that dates were previously shuffled around for this same tour.

And 2. That the tour dates can’t be moved at the last second again for the same reason. If they knew about Thug dropping a week prior, why wait a week to reschedule the tour dates? It’s not impossible that the album is delayed one more week or something like that and then in 7-8 days they reshuffle the tour dates once more.

Again, this is SPECULATION. I am SPECULATING just like everyone else ITT

I agree on Honestly Nevermind being a surprise drop but that doesn’t mean that all his albums are gonna be surprise drops now, especially when sales-wise Honestly Nevermind had a drop from the album before and the one after.

Her Loss was announced on short notice then delayed once or twice (I can’t really remember) tbh so I won’t count it

1. uzi - feels very, very unlikely that drake would adjust for uzi. again, probably pretty different fan bases + while drake & uzi seem cool, definitely don't seem to be close enough for drake to postpone his album. if anything, given drake's upcoming tour, lil uzi would have likely been the one to delay his album

2. i wouldn't worry about daily updates. i'm sure they all have their hands full prepping for tour, logistics for book, etc.

3. drake hasn't officially acknowledged it, but he wrote that he made an album on the book's website ha. drake also explicitly stated that there's never been anything he's wanted people to support more than the book. i'm sure he doesn't want to make an album announcement right after the book release. he's clearly trying to give the book some time to breathe

4. the drake's related liked a tweet saying album is coming friday. not sure how much more validation you need.

5. the fact that the album is otw and the tour suddenly got pushed back w/ no formal announcement should be enough of a sign for you

again, while all of this is speculation, by far the most plausible scenario here is
1. thug, a known extremely close friend of drake wanted to drop and given thug's situation, drake is obviously going to do him a favor
2. they've scrambled to push back dates on tour to give opportunity to launch the album
3. drake dropped the book ahead of time and announced album otw. drake really wants people to focus on book before the album obviously consumes everyone
4. daily updates were stated but the reality is album releases are always exceptionally chaotic + going back to 3rd point, drake clearly wants people focused on book not album right now

i'm not a betting man, but i think you'd be very unwise to bet against an album coming on friday

You're talking about moving triple the amount of dates that were moved the other day

It’s just that I get the hype and all but it shouldn’t be taking over your life like that when there’s no formal announcement that we’re even close to the album drop let alone next Friday

Do you think that shapes the way he made/recorded FATD?

He always says he records music with his tours opening and closing songs in mind. Like he stated multiple times he didn’t wanna close with Gods Plan on his next tour.

However, I think he dropped HN specifically without a tour because he recorded without the intention to tour and therefore took more chances on the album.

Album will drop Friday and he’ll post Uzi’s on his story. “Go listen to my brother’s album”

That’s another reason I’ve had my stance, just so people can temper expectations if it actually doesn’t drop. Some people get too hyped and convince themselves an album is dropping on a day that it clearly isn’t, and then they’re disappointed and upset when it doesn’t drop

You might be onto something there. That could be part of the reason for the numerous drops between the previous tour and this upcoming tour. He hasn’t released a song that could be the de facto closer post-God’s Plan, I predict we’ll get one of those on this album

This is the reason why I think the album drops this week and the reason why he delayed the 2 shows.

I know he delayed shows in the past but this one was just too obvious because both shows got delayed quickly after FATD got "announced"
