  • Wale Calls Out Media for Incorrect Album Tracklist

    Wale is setting the record straight! As the rapper prepares to drop his eighth studio album, ‘everything is a lot.,’ he’s calling out media outlets, including XXL, for allegedly publishing the wrong tracklist. The album is slated for release on November 14th, and Wale wants to ensure fans get the correct information.

    Correcting the Record

    On Monday, October 13th, XXL shared a tweet featuring the album’s title, release date, and a list of 16 songs, which they stated was provided by Wale’s team. However, Wale quickly took to Twitter to correct the information, quoting the tweet and writing, “All press [is] good press. But this tracklist is not the tracklist. Why would I put out the tracklist the day I announce the album lmao.” He playfully added, “Everything is [Artificial] #EIA.”

    XXL responded, explaining that the tracklist was sent directly from his publicist for the album announcement. This exchange highlights the sometimes-confusing nature of music rollouts and press releases.

    Fan Reactions and Wale’s Response

    Fans chimed in, with some suggesting Wale view the situation positively, seeing it as a way to generate buzz. One fan commented, “I see as positive. We love you bro but start looking things more optimistically. They just putting notice out that you bout to drop.” Wale replied, clarifying his intent: “It’s 100 pct positive. Was just bein clear..it’s still time for me to make songs wit these titles. We’ll see.”

    While some fans suggested handling the situation privately, Wale responded with his characteristic clever jokes and sarcasm, diffusing any potential tension. Ultimately, fans will have to wait until November 14th to see the official tracklist for ‘everything is a lot.’

    What We Know So Far

    Despite the tracklist confusion, Wale has already shared some new music. He’s released the singles “Blanco” and “Where To Start,” the latter featuring a sample of SWV’s classic hit “I’m So Into You.” Additionally, he’s dropped freestyles over tracks like Central Cee’s “CRG,” Justin Bieber’s “Yukon,” and “James,” produced by Don Cannon, giving fans a taste of his current creative output.

  • Adin Ross: Drake’s ‘Iceman’ Tracklist Surprise?

    Drake has fans eagerly anticipating his new album, ‘Iceman,’ with frequent livestreams teasing potential tracks. However, according to streamer Adin Ross, much of what fans have heard might not even make the final cut. Ross claims he’s seen the official tracklist and alleges that a staggering ’90 percent’ of the music previewed isn’t slated for release.

    A Claim of “Behind Closed Doors” Access

    In a clip shared by DJ Akademiks TV on Instagram, Adin Ross stated, “What I saw, what I’ve seen, 90-something percent is not on the tracklist that I’ve seen.” He emphasized his close relationship with Drake, suggesting he has privileged information. “Drake and I, we’re very close, we speak a lot… He’s all for talking to me about his album and stuff like that.”

    Hinting at Major Surprises

    Ross further elaborated, suggesting that the music Drake has been playing recently is vastly different from what he’s seen on the finalized tracklist. “The stuff he was playing yesterday is not at all, like, nowhere what I have been seeing, listening, or hearing, if that makes sense,” he remarked. He concluded by urging fans to be patient, hinting that Drake has “a ton of surprises” and is working on “some crazy s**t.”

    Fan Reception and Previous Teases

    The reception to Drake’s ‘Iceman’ livestreams has been mixed, with some fans enjoying the previews while others expected something different. Tracks like ‘Dog House’ featuring Yeat, ‘That’s Just How I Feel,’ and the ‘SOMEBODY LOVES ME PT. 2’ remix have been among those teased. It remains to be seen if Adin Ross’s claims hold true when ‘Iceman’ is officially released.

    While Ross’s statement should be taken with a grain of salt, his alleged access and the plausibility of artists changing tracklists late in the process make this an intriguing development for Drake fans. We’ll have to wait for the official release to see just how many surprises Drake has in store.
