Today's Cryptoquip Clue: U equals Y ASSOCIATED PRESS TRENDING Drake's surprise drop a bold move Lily Grant @lilygrant UDK D rake dropped a surprise mixtape on iTunes Drake's surprise drop of "If You're Reading This It's Too Late" is rumored to be a way of freeing himself from Cash Money Thursday night, Feb. 12. The 17-track mixtape, titled "If You're Reading This It's Too Late," features PARTYNEXTDOOR, Lil Wayne and Travi$ Scott. The mixtape's sale is projected to hit about 500,000 copies in the first three days, according to Forbes. This is the rapper's first full-length release since "Nothing Was The Same" in 2013. With the exception of a few features on other artists' songs, Drake's last release was a trio of songs in October of 2014. He dropped "Heat of the Moment," "How Bout Now" and "6 God" on SoundCloud. The latter appears on the new mixtape, so perhaps the other two will appear on a future release. There is speculation that Drake was obligated to It features snippets of two songs that appear on the mixtape, "Know Yourself" and "Jungle." The video hinted at new music and left many viewers hungry for more. Relief came for fans when Drake's surprise album arrived later that night. Thursday morning, Drake released a 14-minute, 40-second film titled "Jungle." The slow-paced, ominous film shows Drake in a car in L.A., returning to his hometown of Toronto and in a few other locations as well. It's an artistic piece featuring home videos of Drake as a child, interactions between him and his WOEs (people "Working on Excellence," aka his peers) and an interesting dream scene that is left to the interpretation of the viewer. At one point, Drake is shown looking out from a high vantage-point in Toronto, which he calls "the 6," in reference to Toronto's two main area codes. release "If You're Reading This It's Too Late" to fulfill a contract requirement with Cash Money Records, Inc. The label was promised four albums from Drake, according to court documents cited by the online music publication The Early Registration. It's rumored this release may be Drake's way of freeing himself from his contractual commitment to Cash Money, which would enable him to leave the label with his mentor, Lil Wayne. Lil Wayne, who is featured on the album's track "Used To," is also signed with Cash Money Records and is currently feuding with the label. Lil Wayne was supposed to release "The Carter V" on Oct. 28 of last year, but Cash Money refused to release it. The artist bashed the label on Twitter and filed a $51 million lawsuit against it last month. Lil Wayne is trying to find a way to get off the label, and Drake will likely go with him when he does. Further evidence of Drake's rebellion against Cash Money came shortly after the album appeared on iTunes. All 17 tracks were uploaded to OVO's official SoundCloud, available to stream for free. Minutes later, they were all removed, Fans expected an album titled "Views From The 6," as Drake announced in July of last year. It's unclear if "If You're Reading This It's Too Late" is that project under a different name, but it's possible that Thursday night's surprise drop marks a transitional moment in Drake's career, and that "Views From the 6" is still in the works. Network has 'short list' for Stewart replacement LYNN ELBER LOS ANGELES - Comedy Central is mulling a "short list" of replacements for "Daily Show" host Jon Stewart, a decision that could affect how much influence the show has on the 2016 presidential campaign. Associated Press Also at issue: Whether Stewart, an executive producer for "Daily Show" as well as host, retains some role with the show that has helped shape attitudes toward politics and media and given campaigns an appealing forum to reach potential voters, especially younger ones. Stewart, 52, announced Tuesday that he will leave the host's job this year, a move that had been closely held by him and the channel. The timing of his exit has yet to be determined, and Stewart did not say what he plans to do afterward. "It's not out of the question." Herzog added. "TBD," said Doug Herzog, president of Viacom Entertainment Group, using the shorthand for "to be determined," when asked if Stewart would keep a hand in. this off his chest and put it out there. He's been carrying this for a little while, and now we'll have to discuss the next steps," Herzog said. "He'll take a deep breath, as will we, and figure out what's best for Jon Stewart and best for "The Daily Show," in that order." likely at Cash Money's command. H Herzog said "there's a short list" of possible Stewart replacements, declining to provide specifics. It's uncertain whether it includes former "Daily Show" correspondent John Oliver, who moved to HBO after successfully filling in for Stewart when he took a movie-making break. "I think Jon wanted to get He declined to comment on when Stewart, whose contract is up this fall, told Comedy Central of his decision to leave. Asked about whether Oliver is a candidate, Herzog's reply was succinct. Asked if that meant he was not under consideration, Herzog said: "I think he's spoken for." Whoever is chosen has heavy lifting to do. "John Oliver's got a job," he said. "It's almost impossible to estimate the impact that Jon Stewart has had on correcting misinformation in the media and calling out our politicians when they need to be called out," said Sophia McClennen, a Penn State professor and author of "Is Satire Saving Our Nation?: Mockery and American Politics." Stewart had a "very special talent for putting fear in everybody from the candidate to the operative to the intern, should they do something wrong, say something wrong. You knew it might be immortalized on "The Daily Show," said Kevin Madden, who was a campaign adviser for Mitt Romney in 2008 and 2012. And that was felt in the halls of power. Given the circumstances, Drake likely released this mixtape to satisfy his agreement with Cash Money, and is saving his senior album, which is anticipated to be the greatest compilation of Drake music thus far, for his own label, OVO Sound. Even former President Bill Clinton felt compelled to weigh in, although lightheartedly. "Ion Stewart's departure raises 2 Qs: 1) Where will I get my news each night? 2) Does this mean he's doing a sequel to Death to Smoochy?" Clinton posted on Twitter, including a reference to a 2002 comedy in which Stewart appeared. "News satire will live on, largely because Stewart created an incredible market for it. In that sense, there will be a lot of folks trying to occupy the very big shadow he's cast over the genre," Madden said.
