Drake’s “Nothing Was the Same” Album Leaked

When Drake’s new album ‘Nothing Was The Same’ leaked online late Sunday night, long before the album’s official September 24 release date, he immediately began trending as Twitter erupted into tweets about tears and texts to exes by fans and detractors alike. But musicians are music fans, too.

While many are no doubt waiting until the official release so as not to admit they downloaded an illegally leaked copy, others fired off reaction tweets, ranging from A-Trak shouting out the patriotic tracklist and Odd Future’s Tyler The Creator making an odd admission to collaborator Chilly Gonzales breaking down the piano bits and various MCs debating Drake’s “Wu-Tang Forever” song title (including Wu member Inspectah Deck.)

In Drake’s latest song, “Tuscan Leather,” he actually confesses he had a thing for Nicki and that he regrets losing touch with her. He raps:

Not even talkin’ to Nicki, communication is breakin’
I dropped the ball on some personal sh**, I need to embrace it

It sounds like he’s owning up to their lost love. And according to the lyric analysis on the website Rap Genius, Drake once rapped about marrying Nicki, too.

I love Nicki Minaj
I told her I’d admit it
I hope one day we get married just to say we f****n did it

Poor Drake, it sounds like Nicki truly has a special spot in his heart — but we can’t forget about where RiRi fits in to all of this.

Oh, and Drake’s ex Rihanna even tweeted lyrics to one of the album’s new tunes.

“Sometimes when I try and think back through this journey it’s hard to pinpoint all these moments,” he said. “On past albums when I’ve been trying to tell the story, I’ve got there but maybe not got there all the way…. “This is my most clear, concise thoughts from now, and my best recollection of then,” he said of the album.” – Drizzy
