After several delays, a Drake beef, a strenuous promotional tour and a couple of hit singles, Tory Lanez finally released his debut album, I Told You, today (August 19) as it has been scheduled for some time now.
Unfortunately for the hot Toronto upstart, the Ghost of Frank Ocean Past also decided today was the date his much-ballyhooed album was ready for public consumption. Although it was not the previously billed Boys Don’t Cry release, the reclusive Grammy Award-winner dropped a visual album titled Endless – à la Beyonce — through Apple Music and is reportedly extending his discography even further before the weekend expires.
We’re sure the collision course was incidental, as Ocean has been on the brink of perfecting this release for some time now.
That being said, music fans everywhere aren’t naive to the fact that Tory’s all but inevitable career-building No. 1 debut is pretty much a wash at this point. And the fact that the “Luv” singer’s supposed feud with the biggest artist in the game never fully got resolved is also not a lost item in the memory.
Check out some of the funniest reactions from the Twitterverse once they realized the Frank Ocean album had thwarted Tory’s masterminded scheme.
And of course, there were Drake conspiracy theories.
Tory album trash anyway. Even if Drake didnt do what the internet claims Tory wasnt gonna hit 50k sold in first week. Tory is trash singing and rapping period. Yall just wanna cheer for anybody who diss Drake .
STOP DICKRIDING DRAKE, TORY’S ALBUM WAS BETTER THAN VIEWS AND FUCK THAT EVEN DVSN ALBUM WAS BETTER THAN VIEWS
AND THE SALES OF VIEWS ARE ALL FROM 12 YEAR OLD CHICKS USING THEIR DADS CREDIT CARD ON ITUNES
Tory paid you to say that?
Well, aren’t you hating on Tory for saying he’s trash at singing and rapping? If someone said that about your boy, you’d be calling them a hater in the blink of an eye.
The internet is full of idiots. F*ck twitter.
Player hater I know that u love Drizzy,deep down in ur heart u wanna be him,u can hate him bt never be above him,and u knw why? Seriously no dick riding here,#DrakeIsRealDrakeIsdope
Thats stupid asf,like they’re just there to obey all of drake’s orders
Yes, I believe Drizzaveli paid Frank Ocean to drop the same day as Tory. No sympathy for those who diss the king of the rap game. #DrakeIsLoveDrakeIsLife
Fuck all the gay jokes and all. I listen to both albums and I’m glad (allegedly) Drake paid Frank to drop same day as Tory cause Tory album is just turkey stuffing nothing but a bunch of fillers bullshit taking up space while Frank Ocean album is pretty dope musically. Stop gassing Tory he can’t sing without switching the auto tune button on and he raps are below subpar. Y’all just dickriding Tory cause he sneak dissing Drake. If a sanitation worker said Fuck Drake y’all haters be like that’s my hero. Non Winning haters
Shout out of all the Drake -dick riders that are loving this article right now!!!
I’m loving it because it’s so absurd. Sometimes absurdity holds the truth lol
drake is succesfull and you are not. deal with it, get used to it or get suicidal and die. choice iz yourz. chances are everybody is for sure more succesfull in life than you. you are living failure. do good deed and end your miserable failed life with no purpose.
Die in a plane crash, Drake. Do the world a favor and kill yourself, Drake.
I hope Drake gets eaten alive by a cannibal and dies in a firey car crash.
sounds like a total bitch move fake drake would pull, fuck that bitch made pop singer. #DRAKEISFAKEDRAKEISWACK #THE 6FRAUD WITH VIEWS FROM A BITCH
Get burned alive and die, Drake. Kill yourself, you waste of life. Don’t reproduce.
Hip Hop fans are so fucking dumb… Are ya that broke that ya acting like ya can’t buy both or still buy homeboy’s album? Crabs in the bucket. Hate on your own and then cry when the media spotlights that shit. smh!
Hang yourself, Drake.
That Tory Lanez album is hot garbage. A horrible attempt at a Drake rip off. Frank Ocean – a grammy winner – does not belong in the same sentence as Tory.
Lol nah, Tory is much better singer than Drake and his rapping is on par with Drake.
Did y’all even listen to the Tory album before talking trash? It’s actually very good.
If Drake was worth shit he wouldn’t TRIED to “body” Tory Lanez like this. Keep in mind (A) Ocean’s visual album is stale, mediocre garbage that literally no one cares about. (B) Tory Lanez and Ocean’s ACTUAL album are masterpieces. Whatever Drake tried to do – HE FAILED. Twitter is filled with reactionary chumps and HIPHOPDX are retarded for framing shit this way.
