Drake Pushes Album Back To November 15th

    Drake informed fans via his blog that his new album "Take Care" will be released November 15th instead of his birthday October 24th.  According to him, the reason for the delay is receiving proper clearance for three samples on the album.  He also gave updates on his future Club Paradise Tour which will begin after the New Year.  I'm definitely looking forward to the new Drake album but am a little worried it won't be as good as So Far Gone or Thank Me Later.  Hopefully I am wrong and Drake still comes correct.  After all, in "Headlines" he does say "People say I fell off...Oohh I needed that."  Here is what Drake had to say on his blog.

"The new date for Take Care is November 15th, 2011. I managed to create this album in my hometown of Toronto and the thoughts and stories I wanted to get across just became so clear. It truly felt like when I was here 3 years ago making So Far Gone. So I have completed 19 songs (17 on physical and 2 on bonus), and have run into a roadblock of clearing 3 samples in time to make the October 24th date. My options were to take the songs off and make the birthday release happen, or to take an extra couple weeks to get the paper work right and give you the album they way I NEED you to hear it. The choice was clear as day for me. November 15th you will get Take Care the exact way I created it with no trimmings. This music means too much to me to get attached to dates and I do apologize for the delay but I promise that it is only for the benefit of our experience together. Club Paradise Tour will also be moved to when students are back from the Christmas/New Year break so that I can get to more schools. New dates will be released in the next week…see you all soon."
