    Going back to Thank Me Later Drake has always dropped at least a handful of tracks drop leading up to his album release.

    Which era do you think had the best pre-album loosies?

    Feel free to let me know if I'm missing any or if certain songs are in the wrong spots.

    I Included IYRT because;
    1. Those tracks in 2014 were too good to leave out of this conversation and
    2. It got nominated for rap album of the year. Idc what he calls it, "dropped a mixtape that s--- sounded like a album" applies here.

    Tough to pick between TC & NWTS, but I have to go with TC. Club Paradise, Dreams Money Can Buy, and Paris Morton Music are some of his best songs OAT and TC would've been a certified classic had some of them been included on the album.

    If I had to rank them it'd go
    TC
    NWTS
    IYRT
    VFT6
    TML
