Speculation creates hype cause it gets the people talking, sounds like smart marketing on TDE's side
I mean I'm sure that's the goal but at one point does the benefit of that get outweighed by people who are disappointed that the artist they wanted didn't drop? Although I'm sure it gets a lot of people who never would have checked for the isaiah rashad drop to now be aware of it and maybe check it out
Imagine believing that TDE would do a guessing game rollout for either of their 2 biggest artists (Kenny and SZA)

Life is full of disappointments, you'll get used to it

Is that the subject line in TDE’s marketing meeting lmao

Are you gonna stop checking for new TDE music because you're disappointed?
You’re right it’s not 2006 we don’t listen to Memphis rap
Memphis running rap in 2021, get hip

good thing they did it for their best artist
Are you gonna stop checking for new TDE music because you're disappointed?
I’m not but a lot of people might and I want artists like Zay to succeed
Gambino kinda did a social experiment with his music, look at the reception of his latest album when you take away some core concepts of marketing
I know it sucks to admit it, but this stuff matters
Lmao TDE didn't lead anyone on. It's not they fault that speculation culture has taken over a lot of the hip hop world. People see one tweet, one IG post, or one interview and drive themselves crazy trying to guess at s*** that isn't there. It's corny af and unnecessary. People should stop tryna deduce s*** like some detective and just let things happen. TDE didn't mention anything kendrick related not once. That was all fans

Somehow, he clawed back from the brink of oblivion to finish his third project. Scheduled for a June release, the deliriously anticipated, bourbon-drowned baptismal The House is Burning puts him in the elite stratum of artists who can successfully get away with a one-hot-album-every-half-decade average.

"The first song on The House is Burning is fittingly titled “Darkseid,” and it moves with a midnight-of-the-soul bounce. With beats that sound like they’ve been ripped from J Dilla’s Donuts and soaked in whisky, Rashad, once again, drags 4 a.m. despair into vivid daylight."
I ask if he thinks a lot about death. A new song from The House is Burning opens: “Feet don’t fail me now, I’m dead”
