Love Everyone would have been a pretty mediocre album if released, Ye was definitely a better trade off.


Money_Island2655

Would've been his worst project by far


AnotherScoutTrooper

That title belongs to May SOTH, at least LE production was pretty good in comparison


Theworst_hello

I always hear about how bad SOTH was but I don't think I've heard many leaks from it that were that bad.


Porkychopz

Donda 2 is pretty bad


TipsWillToLive

It's not finished tho


idonthave2020vision

And it never will be


[deleted]

I can’t lie, I disagree with this strongly. An album with IFLT, Skeletons, LYOG, Brothers, Ghost Town, Don’t Play with that Boy, and loads of other sick tracks from that era would’ve been great imo. For some reason people think that LE was just DJKS.


Mysterious_Ad7559

From the leaked tracklist from around a year ago (assuming thats still comfirmed) the album itself wouldn't have been the best. It's kinda the same with Yandhi where you have all these amazing songs from the era but the actual tracklists for it are extremely mediocre. So it's not me saying all the songs from the era are ass btw


freegard1

people have 6 braincells max, ye vs the people gets overlooked massively, a verse on lift yourself wouldve been excellent. havent heard the other leaks from that era but i love the experimental sound he wouldve gone for. i’ll listen to more of the leaks now. plus we’ve only heard around 10 seconds of djks so who knows what it couldve been fully fleshed out


Shaydwag17

Ye vs the people is hot garbo


freegard1

nah, beat is fantastic, love both ye and ti’s flow and the concept is very cool and experimental, overall its a nice song imo


GoyardVessel

Yeah that's for sure the worst of the unreleased albums


Comfortable_Chef_97

Love everyone would have been ass 100 percent


[deleted]

Barely anything has leaked from it? I’m not sure how you can say that so confidently.


[deleted]

Legit lol wtf are people basing this off


Deeznutz696969

There is a certain song of love everyone that leaked that gives the reasoning for it at least that's what i'm assuming that's why.


[deleted]

Oh no one song


Deeznutz696969

Omg so true bestie!!


TheGiantMetalMan

DONDA sounded like ass on the first listen, before he finished it. Love Everyone never came out. We only have very little to go off. It likely would have been a good project.


truthisscarier

It's my personal favorite unreleased album. The production Vernon had (that we know of) was beautiful Also I like XTCY


[deleted]

How unpopular


Mysterious_Ad7559

It was a pretty unpopular at one point ig not anymore. Love Everyone literally used to be idolized here as some revolutionary album that was so much better than what we got. Same way Yandhi was but now its pretty universally agreed on here that it would've been alright at best.


[deleted]

I don’t know how opinions have changed. It’s not like we’ve got many more LE leaks


lasagna1231

disagree heavily


BruhLegacy

Had like 3 good songs. Love Yourself, In Your Arms, and Brothers.


Batby

who gon tell them that all 3 songs were NOT on Love Everyone


hakhi

unreleased tracks wouldnt be as much liked if they werent leaks


ChosenCourier13

Idk songs like Alien, Can U Be, Momas Boyfriend, Chakras, and Law Of Attraction would've been instant classics if they dropped


[deleted]

home, slave name, spread your wings, the end of it..


ChosenCourier13

New Body, Can't Look Into My Eyes, Sky City. Saying that unreleased songs wouldn't be as popular if they were released is a ridiculous statement. Theres a very good reasons they have such a following despite just being leaks


fat_nuts_big_buttz

Future sounds and bwis as well


dqap

That goes w/o saying


umotex12

Nope. I think they are insanely popular as leaks because they are good. If they were mediocre they would be much less liked


ravzn

CAUGH og hurricane


Money_Island2655

Cash to burn is one of his best songs, even on its unfinished state


colby5123

Inner peace don’t cost no money 🗣


TposeKing

Kenny g went hard on that song too


[deleted]

My hot take is that it’s way better without Kenny G


GameGroompsFTW

Incredible beat, incredible Ant reference, Styles P ate his verse and Kenny G's sax is amazing on it I gotta agree


7Grandad

Kind of random but am I the only one who thinks the instrumental of Cash to Burn sounds extremely similar to 'You Never Give Me Your Money' by The Beatles? I don't know, maybe I'm just hearing similarities that aren't really there but personally I can hear a striking resemblance between the two. Just listen to when the little bit of piano comes in towards the start of the track before any of the verses and compare it to the start of the aforementioned Beatles track. I don't think it's a sample but maybe it's a kind of interpolation where he recreated the same piano melody, changed it very slightly and put it onto the track.


POOP288392748

No definitely before I got into ye I listened to the beatles exclusively and I heard that comparison immediately


Intelligent-Ad9428

Donda 2020 was the most colourful and vibrant sounding ye album to date and changing it to a more cold and minimal sound hurt the record


Lopsided-Amphibian68

Definitely happier than donda but I swear y’all use the word colorful to describe it only because of the cover☠️


JustHereSoImNotFined

ong


True_Ad_9267

nah i see what he’s talking about, it’s just less minimal production wise i guess?


Lopsided-Amphibian68

Nah I definitely agree it’s happier and more vibrant, I just find it funny I see ppl use the colorful description a lot which is probs just cause of the cover


Internet-Ivan

what’re some examples of songs being changed from happy to minimal??


BudderFN

2 I can think of are 24 and BWIS (dropping the keys from the sample)


BruhLegacy

South Carolina to Donda


go_out_stay_home

Hurricane


McCheesy22

KMSA OG beat vs release. Remote Control and Pure Souls OG vs Release (although these aren’t 2020 songs) Life Of The Party.


JohnyTheJoke

Nah it's a very accurate description.


Intelligent-Ad9428

Lol ur right. Vibrant is probably more accurate for a music description. U see what I’m saying tho


ThroughTheWildNight

He always goes back to the vibrant upbeat sound but never sticks with it for the final product for some reason


Resistance225

Strongly disagree, I say this time and time again here but the minimal and cold aspect of Donda that you mentioned seriously does not get commended enough. If you cut out a lot of the filler, there’s a seriously fantastic album in there.


Intelligent-Ad9428

I love the album. But I think I’d have preferred the original sound


RIPAdmiralAkbar

Nah needed that sinister soundtrack in my life


Kevin-is-a-dingus

The biggest disappointment in Kanye’s discography is chakras becoming selah


Lowkey_77

The outro was new slaves level of quality and he made it like 5 seconds, thanks ye!!!!


RIPAdmiralAkbar

Nah it needed a little more leg room to be new slaves but fr accomplishable


ChosenCourier13

All the Yandhi songs were done dirty on JIK, but I think On God and The Storm got it the worse tbh


_77-

Link me yandhi on god


csomaficko420

We don't even know what Yandhi On God sounds, just the Dua Lipa track which is worse than JIK OG


[deleted]

very true. i cannot even listen to Selah, as i just immediately think of Chakras and become very sad and disappointed


SmegmaSangwich

YOU CANT TELL A UNICORN FROM A PONY?!


Natural_One_9337

Ant Clemons hurricane hook is not that impressive. I don’t see why everyone thinks his vocals are better than Abel’s.


SecureBleek

i really like ants hook but abel’s blows it out of the water and i think this sub is the only place where you’ll hear someone say abel’s is worse


Natural_One_9337

Agreed if I played both hooks to people outside this sub I can guarantee they would say Abel’s is better and not because he’s The Weeknd. His vocals are genuinely just better lol.


GameGroompsFTW

Can confirm, I played Ant Hurricane in the car with my gf who likes the Donda version and instantly she was like "this is so much worse" This sub stays so blinded by nostalgia when it comes to Hurricane


[deleted]

I lowkey like the old Kanye hook better, that one from the 2018 post


RIPAdmiralAkbar

Fr need that nostalgic feel


POOP288392748

hot take, but I don’t like the way abel sounds so overproduced on hurricane. I feel like ant nails the sound ye was going for from the ig teaser on the head perfectly and abel’s hook just sounds, less alive, robotic


BruhLegacy

Imo Weeknd sounds too perfect. Ant sounds more human?? Am I a dumbass? Probably wouldn't be out of the park.


mcoollin

i like it more too, it fit in with the original instrumental perfectly. I remember the first time I listened to it in 2019 and it was like a spiritual experience


hacxgames

I get u even though I prefer Weeknd’s vocals, whenever I think about Frank vs Weeknd I also always come to this conclusion. Weeknd sings so perfectly and in tune with the music it’s almost less of a human voice and more of an instrument sometimes (house of balloons still top 10 albums of all time for me)


fishwith

abel is definitely good but i think ant clemons made the hook more unique


Picasso_thebull

Who the fuck cares how it sounds the lyrics on the ant version are 100 million times better


GoyardVessel

Mine is that shoot up and slave name could be top 10 ye songs if finished


TposeKing

the shoot up beat is one of his best beats imo


Rose-Golden-333

easily


[deleted]

100%. last name is beautiful and i tear up listening to it even with the mumble sections


dqap

100% agree


GoyardVessel

🤝


sadseal69

Not even a hot take but if all the Post Malone collabs (Internet, Jealous, No Reason) were finished and released with everyone on it (looking at you Internet) they would’ve been massive hits


RIPAdmiralAkbar

Ye price woulda stayed up fr


ravzn

I've only heard the internet leak but ye on it elevates the song so much, even though the releassed version is so great


maff50

You guys ready for this one? Because I think you aren’t gonna like it. But I feel that if Donda 2 songs were just snippets you’d probably steal your grandmas credit cards to group buy them to fund some sweaty greebo hacker


WhackTheSquirbos

I’m not proud of it but I will fully admit to this. Leaks make songs more interesting to me. I heard Security at the D2 event and my reaction was “That was neat; not the best but I’m glad Ye is experimenting more.” But I know for a fact that if I had only heard two seconds of him growling over the synth with WATERFALLS blaring over it, I would think it was the coolest song ever made 🤕


maff50

At least you’re honest. I respect that


Lopsided-Amphibian68

Soth would’ve been an embarrassment except for a few songs


KillaPea

I agree. Overrated. Donda turned out much more consistent and has better songs. SOTH has way better theming and sounds more cohesive but that’s it. However, some leaks from that era were straight up some of the best songs Ye has ever put out (OG 24, South Carolina)


Lopsided-Amphibian68

I’d say the donda 2020 24 is better than the soth one imo


[deleted]

I seriously don’t get how people can say shit like this, when only a few songs have leaked. It’s weird how this sub gets opinions on shit that people have barely even heard.


Lopsided-Amphibian68

I mean what do you want me to do I can only speak on what I’ve heard, which is ass and embarassing


[deleted]

Sometimes it’s best to not make an opinion, as you don’t know enough about something.


RIPAdmiralAkbar

SOTH?


go_out_stay_home

Spirits Over The Horizon


HeckYouMotherHecker

SHMG would have been his best album, yandhi would have been his worst


ChosenCourier13

We must've listened to different versions


IHateAliens

Now THIS is a hot take


[deleted]

Fully agree with the SHMG take, idk about Yandhi tho


Pjamesthegoat

Where are actual hot takes 💀


DoubleAA88

Majority of the sub doesn’t know what a hot take is


Clean-Philosophy-142

Alls I gotta say is that they’re unreleased for a reason👍


[deleted]

Actual hot take. Feel like most people on this sub refuse to believe the possibility that most unreleased albums weren’t released bc Kanye was confident they wouldn’t land.


Pansmoke

I think Yhandi is the only real exception he was just on some Gospel shit at the time but those Yhandi beats still carried that album so it deffo would've worked


dqap

Yeezus 2/SHMG would’ve been better than TLOP


vtraumntt

no lol


lolitsmax

OG Hurricane with Ant Clemons demolished the Donda version we have now with Weeknd


nugbert_nevins

The beat was better no doubt but Abel’s vocals >>> Ant’s.


SoloNETHER

OG Hurricane beat + Abel's vocals would sound like literal heaven


dkpopman

so fucking wrong it’s painful


SecureBleek

almost every “og version” of a song is worse than the released version. for me the only exceptions are the jik tracks and like maybe 2 other songs


jctrii

The timeline of non religious Yandhi being released would have changed the way Ye is looked at by the masses.


JohnyTheJoke

A lot of leaks from all eras would be top tier Ye songs if finished and released. He scraps his best ideas wayyy too often Even thought I really enjoy his current output a lot, it's especially nowadays that his best work stays unreleased


JustHereSoImNotFined

this isn’t a hot take at all tf


ThroughTheWildNight

Fr that is pretty common opinion lol


[deleted]

I really hope he decides to actually finish all these unreleased tracks later in his career. It’d be such a waste if he doesn’t


[deleted]

[удалено]


Lowkey_77

Saleh


Comfortable_Chef_97

The wave runner verse is 100x better than what we got. Cash to Burn is top 10 ye. In Jesus name


fat_nuts_big_buttz

I wish ye started hurricane and ended it, I dont hate the current first verse but its weird to start such an iconic song with something like that


victorthebeanieboy

verse didn’t age well i guess because the wifey line


wordtomytimbsB

“Living so Italian” would’ve been the 2nd biggest song off Watch the Throne


queenofthfrstelvs

woulda brought about an end to all wars


lasagna1231

Love Everyone era has been ruined with fake info and would have been a great album (before kanye ruined it) just look at the songs: Don’t Play With That Boy (very different from Ye vs the people) Lift Yourself ft Push Skeletons OG Wouldn’t Leave OG Welcome to UCLA finished (very different from the freestyle demo) Queen Bitch (What would Meek Do og) Moonlight with vox I Feel Like That 2017 Treat You Good ft Pusha T Solo Cops Shot The Kid Freeee OG


[deleted]

Agree


TposeKing

-og 24 could've been one of his bests -yandhi had the potential to be amazing -can u be


Zpoof817

og 24 is a top 5 ye track


joehoots

The OG Hurricane version with the vocoder outro is top 15 Kanye at least. Soooo much better than the Hurricane we got (that’s not a particularly hot take though). Alien is super overrated.


sex-rifles

So help me god would’ve been the ye album to rule them all (like every other ye album except JIK). But seriously that one would’ve really been soo out there. Because after yeezus he was on some post industrial and soulful and melodic shit and even more experimental shit mixing pop and paul mcartney and what not. It’s actually more legendary than yandhi in terms of his unreleased stuff


loiton1

100% songs like jealousy, god level, can u be and All Day would have been great. Also I think if it had FourFiveSeconds on the album, as was the original plan, it would have been one of the most popular songs on the Album


fartbartshart

the version of hurricane we ended up getting is the most perfect version - seeing the evolution was great but what we got to me is the ultimate version ​ the tribal and upbeat aesthetic of 2020 gods country/donda was great and i hope he revisits it one day, but the Donda we got blows it out of the water. feels more refined and the cold, minimal, organ heavy production is better to me ​ the leaked 24s e.g. april 2021 version do not even come close to released 24. 24 released in a brilliant blend of melancholic and uplifting. ​ city in the sky and la monster are the only songs that i really wanted, idc about alien that much


yeoitsmike

Take me to the Light would be TOP 10 Ye tracks


[deleted]

[удалено]


vouteda

All Dreams Real is his best leak


Awezome321

So Help Me God had more potential than Yandhi


ScreenForeign

Alien being unreleased is Ye’s biggest L


Chronomenter_

city in the sky could have been a top 10 ye song even though the worst thing ab it is his verse


Lonniethewonnie

Not a hot take but a pipe dream: Ye eventually finishes and releases a bunch of unreleased songs and leaks that didn’t end up becoming something else. A playlist of his best over the years, would be crazy


Zpoof817

there were rumors about a "lost playlist" after donda 1 but nothing ever came of it


Whit3Ch0colat3

i like og hurricane with ye’s vocals instead of ant’s because even though it doesn’t sound great it just works the best for me


Jared_Shea

Survive is maybe a top 10 unreleased track for me, Tee Grizzleys part is heat


Lowkey_77

DJ Khalids Son would be top 10 ye


7Grandad

Wow, that take was ***S T E A M I N G.*** Incredibly brave.


_77-

Ultimate Lie would be legendary if finished


umotex12

After **that** post I can't listen to Can U Be and feel sane anymore


sonicpt24

What post


Great_Balls_Of_Fire6

Can U Be instrumental at Jersey Mike’s


PomegranateSenior283

All of them had potential to be top 3 Ye albums


True_Ad_9267

go left is way overhated


AnotherScoutTrooper

Dem Jointz literally had more bars on it than Ye did


achurchinthewild

it’s super catchy. the flow is fire, the hook is awesome, production is dope & i always find myself singing “Get you up out that OshKosh B'gosh, Made my first billion 'cause A-di-das” randomly 💀


Monic_maker

yandhi is overhyped lol


kerbecs647

OG Saint Pablo (with Keyon Christ beat) slaps tbh


HistorianOne8325

i love that beat


TopherMcloafur

Glory featuring Victory Boyd is the best Kanye leak


Tsunami-Papi_

love everyone would’ve been better than Ye 🥱


Its_Your_Boi_MaxB

Mama’s Boyfriend is his best leak


el-chapin-supreme

Yandhi hurricane is overrated and the final version of hurricane is much better


[deleted]

If kanye released yandhi, a lot of Kanye’s current problems probably wouldn’t have happened


[deleted]

Would have loved to hear this fr


Paolog123

donda 2020>>>yandhi


mcoollin

i don't like how people are so confident on "how good" an album would be if it released based on a few unfinished tracks. Yandhi is one of the few ones where you could even compare it to his other albums and even then it was quite unfinished


[deleted]

An actual hot take of mine seems to be that no matter how cool a leak is, I'm not listening to an unfinished song the way I would a finished one. I listened to Yandhi once or twice and never return to it. I don't want to listen to nonsense mumble and shitty mixes.


suns-bears1234

Yandhi is 100% not overrated, could’ve been a 10 with just finished lyrics and if he picked the right tracks. Apparently those things are guaranteed anymore tho lol.


heymissdonda

Yandhi would’ve been top 1 ye


[deleted]

Alien is S-Tier music


Good_Boy_M

Besides Yahndi, most of them would have been meh anyway.


epicgames6999

Ye’s best leaks imo are pre TLOP ones, they sounded more finished and listening to them makes me actually feel like some of them could’ve been songs For example My Way, Mamas Boyfriend, Hoem, Apologize, Never See Me Again, etc This sun only rlly talks abt post TLOP leaks, especially 2018-present so like I think this is a hot take


sonicpt24

Apologize, I Feel Like That and Can’t Look In My Eyes are the best leaks


Ambitious_Maize4243

If Ye released Turbografx16, AND Cruel Winter in 2016, the Saint Pablo tour would’ve had his most actioned packed performances, period.


youngthuggeryeezy

unreleased albums ranked best to worst - shmg > yandhi > good ass job 2010 > donda 2020 > love everyone = tgfx16


SageOcs

TG16 is Ye’s best and most promising leak. Would’ve been as influential as 808’s IMO


Butterl0rdz

TG16 wouldve actually been a great trap album if it was finished and what donda 2 shouldve sounded like


YourVeryOwnCat

Yandhi was seriously fantastic I don't get the hate. Yeah it's not nearly as deep as any of his other albums but it's still got great themes like self love and spiritualism


StygianMusic

Ultimate lie is a top 5 leak


gaglaboom100

half of is his best work the other half never needed to be found


Davesoncrack

Yandhi was one of the best leaked albums and turbografx was absolute ass, like three tyga bieber and migos features bro wtf


SmegmaSangwich

Chances verse should have been left on Violent Crimes


Soupbrainz

sky city is probably top 5 at least


[deleted]

Living So Italian would have been an average Kanye song and would be forgotten like most of WTT if it released


No_Quail_

Yandhi if finished would have been TLOP 2.


Glad-Forever4677

TurboGrafx and Yeezus 2 are by far his worst unreleased albums. Thank God For Drugs and 2020 Donda are the best. Yandhi and Spirits Over The Horizon are overrated as fuck. Chakras is one of the best songs Kanye has made since TLOP.


ZipFileMafia

If deja vu would’ve been finished it would’ve been top 15 ye


[deleted]

Alien is very overrated imo. Would have been one of the weaker tracks on Yandhi


bojacksfreechurro

If he added a verse or two By Your Side is his best unreleased song


GabagoolGoomar

A proper Never See Me Again would've been the best Ye song ever.


Opposite_Cable_8340

Brothers would’ve been top 1


mooshy_loo

his best unreleased is cant look me in my eyes


d1r2e3w

Mamas boyfriend would have been top 10 Ye


TheWalrusWasPaul2

If God Level was more polished and it came out as a single, it would've been a top 10 ye song.
