As some of you may know, the highly acclaimed, and highly controversial, Kanye West released his 8th studio album "ye" recently. Consisting of 7 tracks, many initial reactions of the record commented how the album felt "undercooked", "refreshingly minimalist", "not finished", or simply "open". This seems to be no mere coincidence, as we now have 2 points of confirmation that the album was produced after his infamous TMZ interview. One is of West himself pigeonsandplanes.com/news/2018/06/kanye-west-i-completely-redid-the-album-after-tmz, another is of a radio personality named "Charlamagne Tha God" (notable for conducting a personal interview with West before the TMZ interview) youtu.be/rVDupciFmLQ. This is important because it implies that media outlets had contact with the unmastered, early demo, version of these tracks before it was scrapped.
This album was said, and teased, to be extremely different from the final product. A producer who worked alongside West in the making of the record, Pete Rock, allegedly said that West named the album "Turbo Grafx 16" (there's a lot of trends in misspelling here). Judging from the release of his 2 previous singles to the album, "Lift Yourself" and "Ye vs The People", as well as this leaked snippet on social media posted by Rock (https://youtu.be/v37pyVcmKtM), It is to be believed the album had a very soulful influence, reduced emphasis on auto-tune, and would be staunchly more politically charged, to the point of being exploitable for media outlets.
Now, i understand that in this modern music age, bootlegs are highly less common, and I'll admit I might be jumping the gun a little, but I wager that one outlet, somewhere, has musical snippets of these lost tracks.
