    it was more common sense to put tracks he already performed out

    I mean I don't think the formula belongs to anyone. What he is doing is

    Drops album
    Drops songs once in a blue moon
    Couple features along the year
    Drops album

    ^ repeat

    Pretty much every artist does this, its just the rate at which they drop songs and how many features they do that makes everyone different

    Kendrick has 20 songs in 2015 (not including TPAB ) if you include his features/leaked songs and just other tracks he dropped like Black Friday.
    J Cole has like 8 in 2015 unless I missed something, and Cole is doing better than Kendrick :kanye3:

    why do you even care lol

    I hate this generation where people think artists have to drop all the time. Back in the days, it was normal to drop music every 2 year.

    No way, TPAB was really different to what he normally does and copped a bit of negative criticism from GKMC fans.
