The conclusion you came to is why I think Frank had two distinct projects in mind from the get-go. Yes they do share similarities but the projects are very unique from one another though even though they may be alike in some ways. That doesnāt feel like a coincidence to me.
All those shorter songs/interludes you name feel very representative of the projects they landed on.
Mitsubishi Sony, Unity, Sideways are all feel like streams of consciousness, whereas Close to You, Good Guy, and the Blonde interludes feel like retellings of very specific and significant moments in Frankās adolescence
He finished Blonde then did a fast record to get out of his Def Jam deal, this is why there was a one year delay. The video for Nikes was filmed in 2015 and an extra described it to us that summer in KTT 1. They even tested a video player on the website, it was called "NIKES" veut played an animated reel with rats or somethingāfun times.
no f***ing way lmao
Travis Scott reading this like:

We really lost dawg lmao
We already went through the motions so this doesn't sound like news.
He said heāll see us soon though
Itās getting so much worse.
