Drake Pushes Back Take Care

Bad news on a Saturday night. The floor is yours, Drizzy:

The new date for Take Care is November 15th, 2011. I managed to create this album in my hometown of Toronto and the thoughts and stories I wanted to get across just became so clear. It truly felt like when I was here 3 years ago making So Far Gone.

So I have completed 19 songs (17 on physical and 2 on bonus), and have run into a roadblock of clearing 3 samples in time to make the October 24th date. My options were to take the songs off and make the birthday release happen, or to take an extra couple weeks to get the paper work right and give you the album they way I NEED you to hear it.

The choice was clear as day for me. November 15th you will get Take Care the exact way I created it with no trimmings. This music means too much to me to get attached to dates and I do apologize for the delay but I promise that it is only for the benefit of our experience together.

Club Paradise Tour will also be moved to when students are back from the Christmas/New Year break so that I can get to more schools. New dates will be released in the next week…see you all soon.

    Ha! Just Blaze with the expensive sample!

  2. Word says:

    November 15th dont mean shit. Just means instead of me downloading the leaj sometime next week, I gotta do it around November 1st a week later. I dont mind.

  3. Capeman says:

    At least he gave us an explanation, and did it on his terms, not a label or mysterious push back. Take Care Nov. 15, other may have to push back their albums now.

  4. Cali says:

    Fuck no. He should’ve never done that.

  5. WTF really? A Black Friday treat? Plus RR slacking! They need to post The Weeknd song! It’s called “Initiation”… It’s a trip man

  6. Cali says:

    It will sell more J. Cole’s generic ass album anyway.

  7. Cali says:

    It will sell more than J. Cole’s generic ass album anyway.

  8. oh the IRONY says:

    its so ironic how the haters said coles 9/27 date wont stick, its gonna get pushed back…now look whos getting pushed back. I know its a minor pushback but still. must be some importnat songs

    shout out to cole and drake for putting out albums with15+ songs though. not that bullshit rick ross pulled with 11 tracks. the fuck kinda shit is that?!? watch the throne too. i buy an album, i want my moneys worth (even though take care is getting downloaded)

  9. Razzie says:

    Wale gon’ be maaaaaaaaad

  10. Cali says:

    J.erenic Cole had to put old songs on the album because his ass is lazy.

  11. Post no billz says:

    Word.. im waiting for that leak.. I wonder if this means the drug abuse rumors are true..

  12. Gus says:

    take care has been right on schedule and this should allow him to put out his next single and possibly a video. my guess is something will go down on oct 24th still.

  13. Cali says:

    J.eneric Cole had to put old songs on the album because his ass is lazy.

  14. Word says:

    @Cali Geez, you slobbing Cole off so much you leaving typos all in your corny jokes and forgetting words. Smh, if you gonna hate at least do it proper.

  15. Haha @Cali it’s funny how this nigga is talking shit about j. Cole but knows exactly what songs are old or not! Dick ride much? Lmao

  16. KING G says:

    BASICALLY HE HAD NO BUZZ AND HE’LL BE RELEASING ANOTHER SINGLE SHORTLY πŸ™‚

  17. KING G says:

    WALE > DRAKE

    WALE IS A SOULFUL GENIUS POETIC MASTERMIND

    DRAKE IS JUST GARBAGE

  18. Cali says:

    LMFAO @ all these ninjas defending J. Cole like he’s their girlfriend or something and y’all are calling Drake gay? Ignorance.

  19. WACK says:

    LOL CASH MONEY NEVER KEEP THEIR DATES

  20. WACK says:

    KENDRICK LAMAR > DRAKE
    MEEK MILL > DRAKE

    NUMEROUS OTHER NEW COMERS > DRAKE AKA FAKE

  21. Tucqt says:

    Drake has a LOT of buzz. I believe what he said to be true about why its pushed back.

    TAKE CARE, 350K first week.

  22. Smart nigga says:

    @Cali My nigga you a real Cole hater

  23. Loaded says:

    Cole is ass. He doesnt deserve to be mentioned on a post with Drake. make a decent song first not saying the same thing over again liek ” Yo I fucked your bitch cause you aint fuckin her right!” shut up cole you aint fuckin no chick with that uni brown. gay ass nigga

  24. Kieran says:

    Even If Take Care coming out out 4 Days Later, Its not like im not coping that WALE!!!!

    HA! such a ….COLE WORLD!

  28. Haha @ loaded nigga learn how to talk shit and spell you uneducated ass.. Who the fuck will like to listen to a nigga like you who doesn’t even know what they’re saying.. Haha you toddler. Smh.

  29. Lil Truth says:

    Whatever Cole n Drake do R.E.D. is gon be the album of the year….haters eat a dick (i’m not even a Game fan)

  30. tr says:

    Hrmm…seems kinda coincidental that Headlines is not generating much buzz.

    Sounds like “Sample Clearance” is the new rationale for any pushback…

  31. Cali says:

    I’m sorry but J. Cole is garbage. He looks like a 13 year old boy with a unibrow that just started making music.

  32. ^^^ Explain to me how? Give me three good reasons…

  33. REALTALK says:

    @Cali nigga you a fucking faggot i mean come on u just posted like 5 comments hating on cole? and by the way u actually send the same comment…3 times, get a life u fucking fag, stop hating on cole and stop sucking drake off. drake is a product that gets sold to the masses, yeah he might sell, but hes as real as a fake dollar bill, and every single comment i post on RR gets deleted 10 mins later, guess im too real for you fake ass no lifer bloggers. and yeah coles album was rather disapointing, few old songs but its still the dopest shit out this year. u no doubt one of them niggas that said cole would do 60k first week, now that hes done 200k+ first week you call it a flop. the hate in your blood cant stop yourself from vibing with it. you dumb ass nigga im suprised you can even afford the internet. move out of your mothers house and stop leeching off society you faggot piece of shit i bet you havnt bought an album in your life.

  34. Jaymalls says:

    !Cali left like 10 comments about this nigga J. Cole IN A FUCKING DRAKE POST. What a dick ryder. Dont give up on your suicide fuck bwoy!!!

  35. M.T says:

    I predicted this.

  36. Clbobe says:

    Exactly what King G said. This album has no buzz. I wouldn’t be surprised if it got pushed back again in Nov.

  37. Cali says:

    LMFAO @ J. Cole’s fucking defensive ninjas again. Cole’s album only sold fucking 200k because DRAKE PROMOTED HIM, dumb asses. Most of those fucking songs on the album were all old shit songs. How can it be the best album of the year when it’s a generic and played out? The only ones who bought that album were ignorant people thinking he will save their life.

  38. COLD DE/TH says:

    NOOOOOOO!!!!!! I’M REALLY CRYING RIGHT NOW. I’M GOING TO BEAT MY WHITE BITCH IN FRONT OF MY CHILD. FUCK YA J. COLE STANS. TAKE CARE, NIGGAS!

  39. COLD DE/TH says:

    REAL TALK, YOU GET DELETED TOO? MAYBE YOU SHOULD JOIN MY CREW. THESE NIGGAS CAN’T STOP US!

  40. COLD DE/TH says:

    CALI, YOU’RE SPEAKING THE FUCKING TRUTH! YOU SHOULD JOIN TOO! THEY CAN’T STOP US NOW!

  41. KoldCase says:

    Im drake fan and a cole fan

    Cole is a way better rapper

    But drake can make a hook j cole is ehh with hooks

    Ill take j cole over him tho

    Take Care of The Cole World
    Or
    Take Care of The Cole Throne

  42. M.T says:

    LOL Take Care has no buzz? oh like Tha Carter IV had no buzz right? Drake has been releasing songs for a while now. That alone is enough buzz.

  43. REALTALK says:

    cosign @Jaymalls…and @Loaded are you fucking serious? J Coles already got classics under his belt…maybe not radio hits but have u heard Lights Please or Lost ones? 2 of the realest songs released in the past 2 years you faggot, i guess you dont realise real shit because your too busy taking it up the ass to realise music you can fuck a female to, dumb ass niggas go jack off to the whole ymcmb camp, only nigga in there with skillz is Tyga, who is fucking miles ahead of Lil Weezy the Rockstar/Skateboarding do anything for some fucking publicity shit, did u niggas watch that public sevice shit? niggas head is so much up his own ass his head is touching his tonsils, he thinks he got the world into skateboarding? is that lil 4ft nigga for real? if any nigga in hiphop got blacks into skateboarding its Tyler the Creator / OFTGKTA.
    FREE EARL SWEATSHIRT BITCHES. NEXT GOAT

  44. COLD DE/TH says:

    YOU DIG WOLF GANG, REAL TALK? MAN, JOIN ME!

  45. COLD DE/TH says:

    DRAKE COULD’VE DROPPED THE ALBUM AND LEAK THE TRACKS WITH SAMPLES. SMH! πŸ™

  46. COLD DE/TH says:

    #HURTSWHENBREATHE πŸ™ πŸ™ πŸ™

  47. K says:

    the only songs that were old on Cole’s album were Lights Please and In The Morning, you’re all making it sound like half the album is old shit. Other than that it was just leaks.

    and chill with the drake/cole comparisons. if you like one and not the other, good for you. just listen to what you want and stfu.

  48. COLD DE/TH says:

    I’M GOING TO CRY MYSELF TO SLEEP RIGHT NOW. :_-(

  49. RickyAKAtraplordAKA says:

    I’m cool wit this. Dis nigga got a story to tell then let him tell it hiz way…

  50. Citylivin' says:

    Troll World.

  51. Bx Slime says:

    Smh we still comparing J.Cole and Drake? Grow the fuck up, im a fan of both but I hate ignorant stans that slander both sides using childish shit. Both are very good artists that are contributing to hip-hop whether good or bad. BTW J.Cole’s album was one of the best releases this year so stfu.

    With that being said, Drake is gonna drop a single soon maybe a sequel to “Find Your Love”. Looking forward to what Drake got in store for us Nov.15

  52. djodo says:

    cole world we the shit no flushing

    cole > lil b > kreayshawn > drake

  53. Jay Cee says:

    I see all is well in the world of ignorance. So drake got pushed back regardless of a sample clearance or buzz he will drop and sell. And J.Cole is talented regardless of the critics he caters to a different fan then some of you happen to be get the fuck over it.

  54. RK says:

    Took too long with the Headlines video, should have released another single at the beginning of september and another one at the beginning of October. Only real promotion he’s had is those free releases.

    That being said, the albums still gunna be a classic. Take Care in this bitch.

  55. Lyryqal says:

    Im not surprised, wale is having listening sessions n shit drake aint even put out a tracklist, smmfh nov 15 aint nothing tho, a lil disappointed but i’ll have 2 wait, hope those 3 tracks r worth it, n talk abt a buzz he got it, nigga been making noise all year, he can drop the album on tuesday n it’ll still out sell cole’s

  56. carol says:

    DRAKE IS AN POP STAR FROM THE SUBURBS

    J COLE IS SO MUCH BETTER

  57. L.Dot Luthor says:

    lol Why are you guys arguing with Cali?

    Dude is trolling yall with nonsense. Haven’t yall learn to never feed the trolls?

  58. Hip hop head says:

    Ummm the guy cant rap or rhyme well but he can sing hooks like a female…. U guys got a shitty album On the way lol i cnt believe u fools listen to drake and really think hes good wen hes trash…. Take care faggots

  59. Hip-Hop Prezident says:

    drake is for fags and emotionally weak individuals and stop labeling your music as hip hop you are straight pop garbage!

  60. OOPH says:

    LMAOOOO!!! This is what happens when J.Cole has the #1 album in the country. The lil nikkas need to “PUSH THEY ALBUM BACK!!!!” *Funk Flex voice*

  61. JustMyOpiinion says:

    SMH @ people who think RAPPERS push THEIR album dates back.

    Ever wonder why Jay-z/Eminem/Ludacris NEVER got their album push back? Personally. I’m not knocking son, I could care less about him or J.Cole, their both SINGERS in a RAP world. But, to see people arguing about TWO singers is funny and I had to comment.

  62. The Truth says:

    J. Cole is the GREATEST, you hear me? The motherfucking GREATEST

  63. Tshiamo says:

    He is lying, he wants a number one and with Coldplay coming out on 1024, he wasnt gonna get it

  64. Coolboydolo says:

    it dont matter when it comes out im still gettin it so take care on the way

  65. COLD DE/TH says says:

    J.Cole album was ass cheeks! The production was god awful and not even Album worthy.

  66. M.T says:

    @JustMyOpiinion
    Did u just call J. Cole a singer? lol gtfo

  67. Dave says:

    Like/dislike. It will be worth the wait just sucks gotta wait a little longer.

  68. Weezy F F Baby, And The F F Is For Fucking Faggot!! says:

    NO BUZZ = PUSH BACK THE ALBUM

  69. yowser says:

    Lmao at the tar babies who can not debate without trying to act like a bunch of cyber thugs.. This is why nobody likes negros.. You guys are not book smart. So you always have to turn violent weather verbal or pysical.. Only coons make a culture out of pimping stealing killing and faking… And you wonder why nobody likes and respects black people.. Stay classy porch monkies

  70. FUCKYALLDICKRIDERS says:

    COLE>DRAKE. CALI IS A HATING ASS NIGGA. COLE SHITS ALL OVER DRAKE. DRAKE THE DUMB DOWN VERSION OF COLE LETS BE REAL HERE.

  73. dsff says:

    @cali i third that my niqqa!!

  74. Jay says:

    Man Cole is dope but da hold album sounded lazy da mix tape was way harder he sounded hungry n da thing abt Cole is he dnt make a hit nt ta say he ent make one but drake knows wat he is doing….j Cole needs ta get da hunger bak….Mann his mixtapes go hard

  75. Tru says:

    My only gripe with J.Cole is it feels like he’s demanding respect that he hasn’t earned, tbh I hated Drake when he came out, he was basically on waynes dick and such, later he kinda did his own thing… I don’t think Wayne was on TML more than twice… J.Cole to me is like “Yo I’m with Jay so all his fans are mine” remember that’s just HOW I SEE IT… this in no way holds bars on reality

  76. firefly81 says:

    All of you people need to stop tripping about J Cole and Drake.IMO J Cole is that going to be that Cat that is going to kill s**t. He is like every other rapper out there. Don’t care if Drake is Singing or Rapping he is at least making music. And trust me Drake ain’t scared of J Cole – Lyrics in Headline
    Listen to you expressin all them feelings
    Soap opera rappers all these niggas sound like All My Children
    And that’s how you thinking is about to come and make a killing
