I don't even think it was a strategy per say. They may not have even known that these songs were the strongest ones. The fact that a sureshot track like "The Motion" is just a bonus track kinda clues you into their mind state...lol.

anyway i agree that some of those songs should have been kept in the chamber. including "5am in Toronto". Only 1 or two of the new songs on the album are touching the songs that have already been released.

Just listened to the album again this morning. Its crazy when you think that Drake can casually drop an album that is better than both the Kanye and Jay-Z albums that dropped this year, without breaking a sweat. For all the concepts on big name hoopla, I just don't find myself playing Yeezus or MCHG that often and as far as rap, both artists are now clearly past their peak.

I think the road is clear for Drake to make a run for the crown with a full rap album.
