will be career suicide if they dropped it within 3 months of Eminem, he would just destroy them...if i was in Drake/Kanye's shoes i would wait until i know when Eminem would drop then release it 6 months after...if they wanna keep eating -

First of all, people don't buy albums like they used to anymore - streams are where it's at, so the idea of teenagers standing around in Target with a binary choice ("Mom gave me ten dollars - should I buy Eminem or should I buy Kanye/Drake?") is no longer operative. People who want to listen to both can and will listen to both, on repeat, as much as they want.
Secondly, you have to grapple with the fact that Drake is currently the dominant name in hip-hop. MMLP2 is triple platinum after three years? Fair enough; View is ALREADY triple platinum, after 6 months. It's had literally one BILLION streams on Apple Music. On top of this, Pablo's streaming numbers were formidable (despite its initial exclusivity), so Kanye is in a pretty good place commercially as well. Could Marshall come back and be bigger than ever? Sure, it's possible, but we're living in a different world now
That isn't to say I'm making any sort of prediction on whether a 2017 Eminem album will over/underperform a 2017 Drake and Kanye collab - I have no idea! We haven't heard any of the music yet and have no idea how good it will be or what sort of audience it will appeal to. I'm just pushing back on this idea that Eminem is this towering monster, and if an artist wants to have a successful project, they'd better avoid entire months of the calendar, or else they'll fail.
I'm also going to add the caveat that I don't like Views and don't want this project to happen, btw, just to preemptively shield myself from charges of stanningyeezyyeezy, mahchefai, Soldier and 1 other person like this.
