I think its stupid to push it forward since most of the world knows its comin out 22nd and are goin to buy it then,some might wont catch up on it being released on 15th for example,my thought

This as well. I'm betting if it got pushed up hundreds of thousands wouldn't hear about it in time, and it would fuck with his first week sales.

And obviously Em is looking to make an impression with sales, considering the lyrics in "Talkin' To Myself"
