To combat this week’s leak, the powers-that-be have moved Drake’s release date from June 15th to June 9th. Mind your manners and thank him next Wednesday.
Smart move. I was wondering why he was still saying June 15th after it leaked when you could probably get it on iTunes immediately. Should have been June 8th. Oh well.. They should also include the “9am freestyle” “You Know, You Know” and “Fear” as Bonus tracks to entice people who already heard the album to actually cop it.
By the way, although the album doesn’t live up to the hype, it does get better the more I listen to it. Maybe that’s what he meant by Thank Me Later…
I like the sound of that. Didn’t know how much longer I could refrain from peeping it. They need to just start giving the media a fake date and and release 2-3 weeks prior to that date. And have some type of agreement where the stores can’t speak about it. Like only managers know, and if you get caught releasing that info you job is in jeopardy. That’s what i’d do if I was king. Only for albums with a high bootleg risk though.
P.S.
Please judge me

reythehussein says:
Um. Yeah. Album was average. Shoulda been called “808’s and HeartDrake”
MP says:
^^^agreed…all the good songs (light up, fireworks, miss me, unforgettable) were leaked + the singles (over, find your love) that’s half the album, those and “the resistance” are the better half i must say.
webstar says:
I expected more from the album. I mean I’m sure it will sell given who it is catering to…but I’m disappointed in this effort.
mac DIESEL says:
IT WON’T MATTER!!!! HE AIN’T GONNA SELL MUCH!!!! 150K-200K FIRST WEEK!!!! POOR AUBREY COULDN’T MATCH THE HYPE!!!! SORRY AUBREY!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
Renegade says:
Unless they do a lot of advertising over the next few days looks like he ain’t going to sell as much as was first predicted. If Eminem can prevent any early leaks he should outsell Drake by quite a bit.

150K-200K FIRST WEEK SALES!!!! AND THAT’S WIT CASH MONEY BUYIN’ SOME OF THOSE ALBUMS!!!!

teejay says:
I downloaded it, I wasn’t overwhelmed. It was kinda depressing, I wasn’t big on the production, and I would have like to have heard more rapping. But it’s not a bad album, but its no grodt, illmatic or doggystyle as far as debuts go.
I will be buying the album though, support hip hop.

I really don’t know or care how many albums Drake sells in his first week but I wish people would stop this lable buying back albums bullshit. Nobody brought it up until 50 said it a few years ago and now people take it as gossple even though no one has provided one shread of evedance it has ever happened.
Rickk says:
^I agree, smh, ppl will do anything to discredit ppl’s accomplishments, I wish ppl would just uplift artist, especially a guy puttin out his FIRST album, damn, idk about y’all but i like to see EVERYBODY winning

Enzo says:
Smart thing he didn’t move the date. I feel like since Em and Ye dropped their singles Drakes quality got watered down. Not Afraid and Power are leaps ahead of anything on Thank Me Later. We All Know what happens when KanYe drops an album….He takes over the world and it’s justified. He is prob the only consistent artist in ANY genre to package an incredible globally inspiring album. They all haves pushed boundaries and created opportunities for other artists. I.E. Drake which led to boi 1da which led to EMs not afraid.
Just sayin
YEEZY!
Close ya eyes and imagine, feel the magic,

Wow. Guessing the leaking must have been pretty bad for the release date to be a Wednesday.
Why on Wednesday? Whateva man… (C) Redman
Hey, it’s the Free Wayne shit from last night’s Hip Hop Honors show.
Had to. Ppl that already downloaded the album wont buy it.
Me myself I haven’t heard it yet. Waiting on a legit stream.
