CLB had like 8-10 songs that leaked or were previewed earlier end up on the album with some alterations made to them but niggas here saw the artwork and song name and are still asking "why would Drake use a leak from a year ago as a song for his album 😜"
Drake added a song we heard a preview of in 2014 on a 2016 album. He has proven time and time again that he'll use a song regardless of how old it is if he really likes the song.
CLB having leaks and OVO playing loosies on Sound42 are two different things
They played Mention Me by Rema for CLB too, Carti and Drake, Uzi and Drake, Confusion Remix for HNVM

I’m not gonna lie the single didn’t get delayed its probably dropping alongside a video. This isn’t really out of the norm lol. He never said Friday midnight. Thinking an album is being delayed bc the single was announced for tomorrow at noon is a little much LOL.

Timing and Music Industry Norms
Historically, new music is often released at midnight, especially for high-profile artists like Drake. Midnight releases not only align with the start of a new day, but also grant the artist a full 24 hours of sales and streaming that can count towards first-week numbers. Dropping at 12 noon instead means the initial surge of listenership only gets half the day, potentially leading to lower first-day numbers.
Fan Anticipation
For fans who stay up late, eagerly awaiting a midnight release, dropping at noon can be perceived as a letdown. Such a move might be seen as Drake not respecting or valuing the dedication of his most passionate fans. Over time, if repeated, this could lead to a diminished enthusiasm for future releases.
The Friday Workday Effect
Releasing music at 12 noon on a Friday means dropping it right in the middle of the typical North American workday. This could potentially limit the immediate impact of the release, as many fans may be occupied with their jobs or other commitments. By the time they get to listen, the initial buzz might have faded.
Competing with News Cycles
Midday releases will compete with regular daytime news, which might overshadow the release. In contrast, a midnight release ensures a few hours of relatively undistracted attention before the day's news begins to unfold.
Perception of Strategy and Intent
Such a move might raise questions about Drake's intentions. Was it a deliberate strategy or a mistake? If deliberate, why break from tradition? If an error, it might suggest carelessness or lack of coordination within his team, neither of which are great for an artist of Drake's stature.
Legacy Implications
Consistency plays a significant role in shaping an artist's legacy. Artists like Beyoncé have surprised fans with unexpected release timings, but they've done so as a deliberate strategy to create buzz. If Drake's midday release doesn't seem to have a clear strategy behind it, it can create a perception of inconsistency, potentially affecting how his overall career is viewed in retrospect.
In conclusion, while Drake's influence and impact on the music industry are undeniable, unexpected deviations from norms, like dropping a release at noon, can raise eyebrows. It's essential to ensure that such decisions are strategic and well-communicated to avoid unintended negative repercussions for his legacy.

True but it's wild that despite all that, he still somehow never released Vital. Legit one of his best songs

Sep 15, 2023thegreatdivineThe issue is he thinks the only thing he has to care about in his entire career is the music. He believes everything else can be handled lazily and sloppily and the music will make up for it.
Now you know what Drake thinks crine

The songs that he has used like that have been loved by the community and popular leaks/unreleased/snippets. Love all, TSU, Race my mind were heavily played. Now I dont know why tf he depending on a forgotten unreleased track that tbh nobody is asking for.

925Andrew@thegreatdivine is right because of the single was ready on time they would’ve announced the drop time sooner than 3 hours before the song
It’s obvious what’s going on lol
I knew once he hadn't announced it officially, something was up. If the song was ready to go, he would have used a different caption when he posted the single art.
