  1. Smh.

  2. How can’t this guy put out an album?

  3. of course its pushed back. the original may date is too soon to begin ramping up marketing.

    you may only hear “over” on the radio a few times. there isnt a real radio single yet. no video yet. the extra month of promotion can only do good

  4. He should have followed the 50 Cent formula and dropped a classic album when his hype was at its peak

  5. Who’s Drake?

  6. Oh well, Imma have my Curren$y-Pilot Talk, Wiz Khalifa-Kush x OJ and that new Cudder. Young Money going down down dowmnn. Owwwwww
    YM aint wavy nicca.

  7. man who cares YM is TRASH

  8. ps.i thought this nigga could sell a blank disc? why push the album back. lame ass milli vanilli

  9. J. Cole’s album >>

  10. Whenever the album comes will be fine with me. Let the haters hate.

    You’ll listen to it when it drops. #Fact.

  11. man please. im not even excited about this project anymore….Drake pulling a Carter 3 on us. c’mon dude. we just want the music. kill the marketing ploys

  12. All the niggas on this blog know when this shit drops its gonna be Stright fire …I can confess that i was one of those hater type niggas that thought he was wack but when that so far gone shit came i knew that he was the truth …#Fact

  13. My ears rejoice. The 2nd worst album to be released this year is pushed back. Thank you lord.

  14. lmao…i aint a drake hater or lover…just really never liked his stuff enough to give it multiple spins (thats just me)…but just like M.Hannah said…imma listen and you all will listen at some point…but i won’t be spendin any money or downloadin though…that i know for sure…

    good luck tho drizzy…

  15. regardless of my opinion on his particular album, im getting sick of hearing about a release date, and then it getting pushed back (numerous times). dont get our hopes up, when a release date is specifically mentioned, it should be final. these pushbacks really hurt the overall value of the album as everyones expectations are higher and higher. nobody is going to like this album, even if its classic, because they waited so long. the extra marketing time isnt worth it… fuckin industry execs

  16. we dont need drake anyway, he’s got boring flows. J. COLE >

  17. I was amped for this album as much as the next person but this is just fucking ridiculous. What’s the fucking hold up now? What, they need to set up another single? Realize, that people are losing interest in when this drops because the date keeps changing?
    I guess this is Carter 3 marketing all over again.

  18. artists should start telling people they are relasing their albums 6 months later than anticipated so we can read about albums being pushed forward. itll make us fans happy at least

  19. Nooooooooooooooooooo wtf drizzy why do you need damn radio play I was just getting excited

  20. man, drakes gunna “detox” this shit, I wouldnt be surprised if it didnt release till next year smh

  21. Lmao @ these cats that care. a hell of a lot of music worth a damn will come out in that span. Fucka corporate puppets finished product. if dude went back to acting like phonte it might be worth to peep the potential. but now its just cloning wayne (who sucks anyway).

  22. hehehehehehe, I am truly devastated, hahaha

  23. This is whats wrong with hip-hop today.. Everyone wants the music RIGHT NOW and are not willing to wait a few extra months.. Everyone is puttin albums out way too fast now-a-days and thats why we have more garbage in hip-hop than dopeness.. J. Cole had it right.. Be patient.. It’ll be worth your wait.. I would rather have my artists take their time to put out classic material as opposed to rushing it out and having it be wack as fuck and sloppy like Kat Stacks vaginal area..

    But this does not apply to DETOX in any way cause 10 years is a lot longer than a year and some change..

  24. THEIRS A NEW EMCEE FORMULATING EACH DAY!
    WELL IF DRAKE CAN’T DROP A CD NOW! THERE’S
    ALWAYS MOVIE SOUNDTRACK PLACEMENT & TOURING!!!

    HEY ANYBODY REMEMBER 16 GONE OFF LEAN LOl.
    YALL SILLY 4 DAT

  25. honestly this album should have been out a looonnngggg time ago but i do think that it is too short of time to promote it

  26. All I’m saying is let Drake rush the album out and it be wack as hell and everyone of ya’ll in here would be hating like a mug..

  27. I’m looking forward to it. If it’s going to be introspective it should be a fall or winter release.

  28. Why are people saying J.Cole > Drake? Apples & Oranges. J.Cole is an MC. Drake is an R&B singer.

  29. Thank Me Later WILL be in the runnings for ONE of the beest albums of the year…the asian named guy Oni sumthin was COMPLETELY right….Marketing, Touring, Promotion, a REALLY big Single…it all has to be right before this nigga release “Thank Me Later”….To all Debbie Downers CHILLLLL….Why show Hate?? If u can tell me one time where it’s EVER mattered….EVER

  30. One of the best albums of the year? No.

  31. No surprise here.
    They need something to catch fire – They don’t want to rush this, and of course, delaying the Album release for someone as popular as Drake is a marketing scheme.

    Gotta love capitalism mixed with a non existed CD buying market, haha.

  32. im starting to get tired of this highly anticipated album shit just come out with it already DRAKE
    Thank Me Later is becoming Detox

  33. i don’t care much about it being pushed back, the only problem with it, is don’t push your date back continuously, say on your very own blog that you’re finished with it, then push it back again. either way, buying the CD, but the man would sell (or at least people will download) millions of his album either way. just stop announcing release dates and get everyone hyped then add pressure to yourself, that’s how society works. they’re gonna build it up, even if it is the greatest, it’s not going to live up to expectations. shit, he already said he had that problem, no that he’s delaying it, it’s going to be harder. but, can’t wait for the album.

  34. HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAH TRUTH ^^^^^^^ and FUCK this WACK NEWS….Big Boi just released SHUTTERBUG….that song is MOTHAFUCKING AMAZING….and Steve…IT WILLLL BE ON THE BEST ALBUMS…u’ve ONLY heard like 2 songs…PLUS ur biased so I bet J.Cole’s Nutsack is lookin REALLL GOOD…sike j/k lls but really tho…u know the stans will FLOCK to this album..Tru Shit

  35. @js its not like hes pushing it back himself and even if he is its in his best interest to wait

  36. Who couldnt see this comin??? Nd co-sign Yeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh he shouldve dropped his album when he had hella hype like 50 did. No one really cares for his album, im waitin on b.o.b, pilot talk, wiz two mixtapes, 24 hour karate school & of course lupe joint nd oh yea the real truth J. Cole!

    My ears rejoice. The 2nd worst album to be released this year is pushed back. Thank you lord.

    Dave Chappelle said this on April 5th, 2010 at 8:42 pm

    ……..

    How pathetic are you, that you HAVE to listen to something you don’t like?

  38. The album is called Thank Me Later not Thank Me Now people…I’ll wait for a classic and this has the makings of it. Plus we got Reflection Eternal, Kid Cudi, etc …Patience people.

  39. And niggas in here need to stop lyin like they not gonna give this fool album a listen cuz if u in here commentin on the ish u are. Im not a drake hater or huge fan but his shit is decent. I’ll give it a ear but im not hyped ova it

  40. DRAKE just drop the fuckin album!

  41. And one more thing ppl stop callin every “anticipated” album a fuckin classic u jus wayyyy ova hypin shit then when it comes out half of u not gonna buy the shit nd the others not even gonna like it as much. His album is not gonna be a classic sumthin u can bump from here to there but not for years. Just tellin yall the truth cuz yall goin wayyyy ape shit ova this nigga wen he’s good not great

  42. I will be downloading this album illegally.

  43. funny thing ppl screaming “release it now you idiot” must be fans. your just not very good fans.

  44. hope da shit never gets released his shit sux

  45. I EFFN KNEW IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! man fck that seriously.. where DETOX at lol

  46. great news! hopefully, they can also push back A. Hole album.

  47. Aubrey was better when he was in a wheelchair

  48. Haha I was at drakes first tour stop tonight and was the first to see fireworks…shits hot

  49. ^^^^^^^^^^
    I’d hate to break it to you, but fireworks have been around for a few hundred years, so you’re not the first to see them.

  50. Youre funny^^^^

  51. fireworks goes. the quality sucks or i’d upload it for ya.

  52. okay let me break it down for you…drakes album was the most anticipated album of 2010 so all these people are trying to say its not going to be one of the best. then why the hell did everyone vote saying that it was something they were hyped up to hear…i lost some interest in it because i was expecting it in february but im still gonna buy it and its still gonna sell more than most other albums at the end of the day so dont say stupid shit

  53. I hate how rappers don’t give a fuck about their fans.

  54. lol most anticipated album of 2010? really i listen to drake and im not even anticipating this shyt becaus eit wont be better than his mixtape it’ll just be good at the most.

    wiz about to take homie spot anyway

  55. look man EVERYONE of you guys that talk bad about drake are going to be listening to his album when it drops and that’s a fact

  56. I think Drake in French Canadian means arab lookin dude with minimal talent and maximum marketability.

  57. I think Drake in French Canadian means arab lookin dude with minimal talent and maximum market ability.

  58. Yes, I said it twice.

  59. the man’s following the carter iii marketing strategy. guess it worked for wayne. i’ll listen when it drops, i’m even anticipating it, but it is pretty fucked up how all these rappers end up pushing back their release dates. guess it’s just the industry, fuck it.
