he owes umg an album, you think they're going to let it be a collab that has the potential to under perform? nah they wanna milk him, doesnt matter if its drake or kendrick theres no chance they let the last album on a contract be a last minute collab while on tour

sony will drive this because they'll make more off it being a PND credited release, they want the success and, this part is just my thoughts with no real basis, but it may also be a thing where they can show drake what it would look like if he went to them (given his contract is coming up)

idk, all speculation tho, im here for the music either way

How is it going to perform terribly if it’s dropping on a completely different label? You don’t think Sony will push this? Idgi

This is why it doesn't make sense to me:
There's already a precedent set with Drake releasing collab albums and having them count towards his tally for his current record deal.

Drake has signed/resigned with Republic/UMG 4 times now. The first time was in 2009 for 2 albums (TML/TC), the second was in 2013 for 3 albums (NWTS/IYRTITL/WATTBA), the third was in the summer of 2015 before his deal was up and that was for 4 albums (Views, More Life and then he convinced them to count Scorpion as 2 albums). The fourth time was for his current deal, for which he has fully recouped the money they gave him and he has also released a collab album (Her Loss) that counted towards his tally so it's something he should be able to take to court and argue he should be able to drop a collab album and have it count. The precedent is already there, so UMG can't make an argument for a collab album not performing well when his two collab albums debuted with 375k and 404k units respectively.

I'm saying this because dropping the album via OVO Sound/Sony as a PARTYNEXTDOOR album featuring Drake is a dumb move. It'll perform way worse than it was originally gonna perform and it won't have nearly the same reach as it would have dropping as a Drake & PARTYNEXTDOOR album.

Also, why would Drake make a move like that knowing he'd still owe UMG an album? I also don't see him giving UMG the solo album he announced on stage as his "one-on-one talk with fans that they need to hear." That sounds to me like he'll be spilling the tea on all the s*** he's gone through with UMG. Why would he want an album like that dropping on UMG and why not just drop this collab album as his final album and be done with them completely?

I don't know. There are definitely already signs that what Akademiks is saying might be true but that'd be a dumb move on Drake's part, any which way I look at it. Maybe there's other moving parts that I don't see that make it make sense but from what we know, it wouldn't be a smart move.

sorry that i'm a fan of both artists and not gatekeeping fandom like a sane person

YA BOY ACE

It’s weird to specifically be celebrating success of a song that calls Drake a pedophile and his fans hoes and then go try to have camaraderie with those same fans and discuss Drake’s music in a positive light. Idk man, just makes you look fake as f***

I’m a fake fan when I’ve seen Drake 5 times in concert over the last decade?
Owning the catalog on vinyl? Making compilations and putting on radio shows for this section on numerous occasions over the years?

All to be thrown away for what? Because I’m not loyal enough to Drake because I like another artist?

It’s not one side or the other uce. To go at people because they aren’t ride or die for someone they haven’t met and will never meet? Childish if you ask me.

Hell if you ask me, stan culture is probably one of the worst things to happen to music. Especially on this site. I can’t go on and talk about how much I like a Kendrick album because then half of the Drake section will come at me. Same anytime I express my liking for a song such as Ratchet Happy Birthday there will be people who come at me and say your taste is ass or whatever.

I look at movies and TV the same way. If someone liked The Idol for example, I’m not gonna go at them for it. The Idol is a bad TV show but I’m not gonna ridicule someone over an opinion.

If you’re really that bothered over me casually talking about an album I am very excited for, the block button is on my profile. Have a good night.
