What songs properly leaked and yet ended up on a Drake studio album?

Let’s create a list to build false hope about Vital/Not Around/Sound 42/Lie To Me/Intoxicated/Pistols being on the album

1. Shut it Down — the 4 minute version leaked a few months before TML.

wasn’t Postols literally a Views session? don’t think it’ll wind up anywhere

don't know if singles count (What's Next, Pop Style and One Dance, etc), but Controlla was leaked with the Popcaan ft which was removed from the album, Faithful leaked too

6 God was released because it was going to be leaked, and half a year later even not being a single it was still on IYRTITL

We counting that as a studio album tho?

Controlla

God’s Plan never leaked CDQ but in a club on NYE.

Controlla leaked with Popcaan. Faithful leaked. Half of U With Me? leaked in 2014.

VFT6 implemented into U With Me?

Judging by his track record ya'll dreams of Not Around making the album are about to be crushed

Fireworks leaked

10 Bands?

(Not counting TML, TC, and NWTS full album leaks...bc a week+ leak used to be the standard pre-streaming)

TML
Fireworks demo
Shut It Down demo
Miss Me demo aka All Night Long

*TC
The Real Her unfinished

NWTS
N/A

IYRTITL
6 God...kinda, he said hackers had it so he pre-emptively dropped it
Used To...kinda, Wayne apparently put it out on his mixtape without drake camp knowing

Views
Faithful unfinished
Controlla w popcaan

More Life & Big Scorpion
N/A

and on the other end of the spectrum, The Ride somehow DIDNT leak when Take Care did prior to official release

Damn All Night Long to this day I maintain is way better than miss me

you should come with me
if you got some time this is where you wanna be
we could go alll night longggg
this could last allll nighhtttt longgg

beh is goin down,
we gon make you right
this is what they mean when they talk about the life,
this could last all nightttt long

agree brother. i loved that hook and was upset back in the day that he changed it. grew to love miss me ofc though, and can see why he prob changed it - as the miss me hook seemed to fit his vibe/mindset of the latter half of the TML era better

Because I heard All Night Long first when it leaked, the miss me hook will forever be out of place

the record is about strip clubs and s*** and here he is on the crooning and turning it into a ballad lmao never sat right with me and honestly felt like he changed it because it leaked and becasue Wayne was going to jail

The hook itself would have been cool for something else though IMO

Ya I can agree with both of those reasons for sure

Wonder if Bun was originally on it hence his brief drop in during drake's verse. and then after leak and wayne wanting to hop on he changed it like you said. Regardless of all that Im a sucker for miss me's outro. love that transition into cece's

I only know of leaks that were supposed to be on the album but got scrapped when they leaked like how about now for views from the six lor you know you know for tml lol. Actually somebody should make an article on those as well

u with me kinda did

VFT6 featuring EBatt 😂😂😂😂

long live EBatt

Facts

one time for my brother drizzy drake! 🤣

Now I have to go listen to his verse

Nah. He’ll use the beat at least. I think the real heartbreakers gonna be Lie to Me and Intoxicated

Pistols already got reworked as a like almost bachata regaeton song and was premiered recently by mark w Balvan & Romeo
