'Nothing Was the Same' Leak: Drake 2013 Album Released a Week Early Online
Rapper Drake's new album, Nothing Was the Same was leaked Sunday night, over a week before its release date of Sept. 24.
Nothing Was the Same made its way to the internet nine days earlier than the world was supposed to hear it. Now, however, many fans have heard the LP (for free) and are wasting no time in sharing their opinions on the Internet.
"It's ok. A little soft for my taste. Maybe my expectations of the collabo are too high," one fan said via Twitter.
The soon to be released album features Jay-Z in a song called "Pound Cake/Paris Morton Music 2," which is a sequel to Drake's re-make of "Ashton Martin Music" by Rick Ross. Other themes in the album include Drake's emotions about how his high school peers used to treat him. And, of course, there are some romantic songs, one in particular focuses on a lover from Drake's past.
"I dig that, I think that beat is fire I can't front," another listener said via Twitter.
Another anticipated track on the album by Drake, 26, is called "Wu-Tang Forever" and serves as homage to the innovative rap group.
Nothing Was the Same features 13 songs by Drake whose real name is Aubrey Graham. Check out the track list:
1. Tuscan Leather
2. Furthest Thing
3. Started From the Bottom
4. Wu-Tang Forever
5. Own It
6. Worst Behavior
7. From Time (featuring Jhené Aiko)
8. Hold On, We're Going Home (featuring Majid Jordan)
9. Connect
10. The Language
11. 305 To My City (featuring Detail)
12. Too Much
13. Pound Cake / Paris Morton Music 2 (featuring Jay-Z)
Fans who want to go against Drake and his record label's plans and listen to the leaked album early can do so here.
Nothing Was the Same will be Drake's third studio album and will officially be released Sept. 17.
"It's a huge change in tone," 40, a producer, said about the upcoming album in an interview with Rolling Stone. "Before, Drake was a nice guy. Here, he's stepping up the attitude and playing hardball."
"That track excites me from a rap standpoint, just getting off bars and different flows," Drake said. "I played it for J. Cole, on some rap buddy-buddy shit, and he was like, 'Damn.'"
