Drake Just Pulled A Beyonce And Dropped An Entire 17-Track Album Online – And Then Pulled It Again
WHY ARE YOU TOYING WITH OUR FEELINGS, DRAKE.
Let it be known that Drake is a massive, massive tease. About an hour ago he released an entire album, If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late, Beyonce-style on Soundcloud, and people went ballistic. Then he fucking pulled it, because life is grotesquely unfair, and people went even more ballistic. And it was really good, too.

It’s still available to buy on iTunes, raising the distinct possibility this is the most cynical marketing move since everyone woke up with a new U2 album they didn’t ask for on their phones. Maybe the name is a cryptic, mocking message? Like, by the time you read an entire Drake album was up for free on Soundcloud, it’ll be too late to listen to it? That is cruel, Drake. That is not on my list of Things Drake Do.
Can iTunes put Drake’s album on everyone’s phone for free like they did that trash U2 album? — WORLD STAR FANS (@WorldStarFunny) February 13, 2015

In the meantime, here’s the 14-minute short film he also released today, because Drake.
