Exactly. Dedicate the album to his memory and give rap fans some new music to lose themselves in this weekend. Lord knows we'll all need it. The whole situation is just sad. Smh.
You guys have to remember that itâs 2 rappers involved here too. If 21 felt more comfortable pushing back drake will too and vice versa
We will see
Respectfully, can someone explain the rationale behind pushing the tape back?
Unless there are some particularly tasteless bars about killing someone over gambling on it, I donât see how this is related to the tragedy.
I donât mean to be disrespectful, but I just donât understand what the two situations relate
Gives both guys time to grieve instead of doing press runs and PR and they donât want to dominate the news cycle with their stuff while people are grieving and give spotlight to takeoff.
Also from a business perspective the label wonât want to share the headlines or drop at a time that can be criticized. Theyâre gonna wait till people are over it so they are in a mood to stream/buy it and avoid any controversy.
Because Drake is going to want to make the week about honoring Takeoff, not dominating the news cycle with his music.
Heâs also going to feel like the energy is not right to drop new music
I guess that makes sense.
I wonder what the move will be then.
Smh, itâs really depressing that rappers are still dying like this at all, tbh.
As hip hop culture moves forward and becomes more and more mainstream, we need to start holding ourselves to higher and higher standards regarding how it is conducted.
I know the street life is intrinsic to certain types of hip hop and rappers, but once they make it, we have to put more energy behind protecting them and promoting safer practices imho.
Like, whatever assclown who shot âem over a f***ing dice game shouldnât be being accepted into the culture anyway.
Idk if all of that was articulated properly, itâs just sad to see whatâs STILL going on

This makes sense and was a good explanation, thank you

This makes more sense than that other post itt but I still could see them dropping this week
We will see
I would be surprised if this still dropped this week.
Delaying the album by a week is more so a sign of respect than it is an assumption everyone will be over the loss by then.
Drakeâs Apollo show is next week so maybe he could drop the album and play some new songs at the show?
F*** man. Canât believe Takeoff is gone. This s*** is so sad.
Album is so trivial in light of this happening, but fwiw I think they should push it back a couple weeks.
Id be lying if I said the release date of this didn't cross my mind with the news but we shouldn't be worrying about it whatsoever. This is f***ing terrible. RIP Takeoff man

I mean they both knew takeoff and had a level of friendship with him who are we to tell them ânah drop the album for usâ if they are still working on this and putting final touches to it this likely put a massive hold on it
Iâd guess Black Friday. if they add in heavy memorialization for Take to the front of the album, maybe but ehhh idk

Just some people itt are very ed, why should they scrap the whole album? We dont even know the content of this project, people need to chill right now until we know more

But if a friend of yours passed away, would you still want to release an album? Not even talking about how the fans and media will react, just from Drake and 21âs perspective theyâre prolly grieving and dealing with this as well. They might not even be in the right headspace to want to drop this week anymore.

I was actually thinking itâd be a nice gesture if they somehow made a song about him or if thatâs too much, changed a song title and called it âRIP Takeoffâ or something, considering they both seemed to know him, and it wouldnât be hollow from them.
Idk, the more I think about it, the more itâs feeling like this may be pushed back
Bro with all due respect shut the f*** up
No you need to shut the f*** up with saying "they are going to scrap this album"
for this week yes, imo
people gonna complain
I'm not sure how your finding a problem with the name "Her Loss", its clearly about a woman
Just tried to listen to a rap song about killing ops and legit had to turn it off.
I actually canât see a world where this doesnât get pushed back if there is any content like that on the record.
Itâs just the absolute worst way to meet the moment, and I think both artists are more sensible than that

Instead of doing predictions, we should just wait what Drake and 21 has to say today or tomorrow
It's kind of disrespectful to speculate about this right now

Bingo.
