    i'm pretty sure releasing a song and saying in an IG post: "LNCL the first single off my next album: CLB", is part of the rollout

    that was an entirely different album though

    a rollout builds hype but building hype doesn't mean it's a rollout

    Drake making a world sounds album is him competing with Bad Bunny: he sees what is the #1 type of music in the world Rn, and obviously Drake can’t speak Spanish, so he doing the closest thing he can

    As America Spanish-speaking population grows Bad Bunny and his legacy and lore are going to grow bigger and deeper

    He’s going to be anointed as the one broke it down for Hispanics

    I respect Bad Bunny so much because he actually speaks English but only records in Spanish to show solidarity he could’ve pandered like BTS but his integrity is why his fanbase so strong

    The fact Jimmy Cooks, an "album cut" as yall have called it, is the number one song out now invalidates ANY excuses about it being a surprise release or lack of promo being reason for weak sales. EVERYONE knows the albums out they just ain't f***ing with it like that cuz it's mid lmao

    IYRT was 100% surprise release and had the world in a frenzy

    I respect this take. "World sounds" and hip hop are my favorite genres

    200k+ opening weeks by hip-hop acts this decade:
    Drake — Certified Lover Boy: 613k
    Juice WRLD — Legends Never Die: 497k (bundles)
    Kanye West — Donda: 309k
    Kendrick Lamar — Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers: 295k
    Lil Uzi Vert — Eternal Atake: 288k
    J. Cole — The Off-Season: 282k
    Eminem — Music to Be Murdered By: 279k (bundles)
    Pop Smoke — Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon: 251k (bundles)

    IYRT: surprise drop

    Views: major rollout

    More Life: quick rollout

    Scorpion: major rollout

    DLDT: surprise

    CLB: major rollout

    Depends how you define the rollout of More Life tbh. I'm pretty sure it was announced late 2016, eventually got a March date that got pushed back, etc. So it was a few months of a rollout at least

    I thought it was gonna do like 40k tbh. It doubled my projections that's a massive W for the boy.

    21 stimulus saved drake from flopping out this dimension

    Not really. DLDT/CLB/HN weren't drawn-out releases. They all dropped without any prior singles save for DLDT where he tacked on Toosie Slide. You can even go back further than that: IYRTITL dropped with 0 prior singles. Same for WATTBA. More Life had Fake Love on it but 21 of its 22 tracks were brand new. He's been gearing up to dropping projects like this for years now.

    CLB had a cinematic trailer showcasing all his album eras and s*** like months/a year before the album and set the stage for hype, then the loverboy title+haircut was put on full display to get the memes going crazy

    how can you say this wit a straight face lol
