Why would anyone expect a singular diss track to compete with a track on (what was) the #1 album in the country, sales/charts wise? Makes no sense.
The leak hurts because initial opinions are formed on a track that sounds unfinished. The beat will hit harder when it's mixed, and that terrible compression on the vocals will be fixed. I'm more curious who leaked it and why. Was it simply some engineer leaking it for cash, or an actual leak in the crew like Weeknd said.
Yea this hurts. What drake doesn't officially release this or take some lines out???
