i feel like half the magic of kanye is that he doesn't make obvious choices. the unreleased versions of these songs would be forgotten more quickly because they are less challenging and weird, half of them are just the same song with trap drums. the coolest kanye songs are the ones that you don't love at first but they grow on you, they show you something new.
There’s a version of Chakras that is literally just the Selah beat but with ad libs and insanely aggressive verses from Ye. Would’ve been Ye’s hypest track ever honestly compared to Selah which is a shell of what Chakras could have been.
Chakras is by far my favorite and most listened to leak of all time. I think it got overshadowed in the leak community from the amount of edits there are of Selah out there. Glad to see it on your no 1 spot
Can't believe Kanye scrapped some of these versions man. Kinda disappointed how he didn't release the Pusha T and Cudi ones but at least we got them leaked lol. Also I agree with Fade sounding much better in its original version. Kendricks verse on FSMH definitely should've stayed and its sad that it didnt. Great video!
I was expecting Law Or Attraction > Use This Gospel, and Everything We Need Yandhi Version > JIK Version, those are some that I’d pick personally, but great video man :D
Great video man, it’s so interesting how I am a god is now modern jam!!! Also I feel like future sounds she be on here it’s so much better than Telekenesis now that utopia is out
I’d say 99% of the released versions (basically all of the ones that aren’t due to label/sample issues) are artistically better in terms of working with the context/themes he was going for and meaning a lot more- but in terms of instant gratification and sounding maximalistic/more typically ‘great’ I could see that. From the perspective of an artist I think people forget how long artists spend conceptualising and editing it to get the closure and proper expression they want, especially for artists like Kanye, Kendrick, Frank and Tyler who are so aware of all of the parts of their music. ‘Constructive criticism’ of these types of artwork don’t really make sense when they’ve spent so much longer conceptualising and creating the work than the listener or critic has spent listening. Meaning almost all of the criticisms tend to be intentional features that add to the work (eg. The muddy mixing on Kanye’s ‘water’ adding to the engulfing baptism of the track, or the raw buzzing on Tyler’s ‘Wilshire’ representing a very stripped back and vulnerable moment in contrast to the extravagance of the rest of the album- two things criticised by Anthony Fantano which say more about his surface level approach to reviewing albums than the albums themselves). With artists who have demonstrated their ability to make music that would be considered ‘perfect’ in the past, I’ve found it’s generally better to give them the benefit of the doubt and work to understand their work instead of thinking they’re the problem
Chakras, law of attraction, The Storm, off yandi are all better than their Jesus is king versions, i dont like the unreleased versions of songs off other albums but for JIK kanye changed these songs for no reason, its not about being edgy shits just not as good at the original.
See this is why I have some remorse for the 2020 - 2021 quarantine WE GOT CONTENT LIKE THIS but now media in general is kinda stale for me, hope you have a good one brotha.
Every time I see a video on this channel I learn something new about ye when I thought I knew everything I had no idea there was an original version of wash us in the blood, great work man keep it up (also nice after you intro :))
Funnily enough, the "unreleased" version of fade was the initial version on the album. Kanye later added a bunch of stuff to that beginning part, which I agree is unfortunate
The Fade version you had was released it was the first version of the album which was released on his website as a digital copy. He then changed it and added more songs and changed parts of other songs.
A version I was trying to find from that first release is 30 hours, hella preferred that version over the final one and doesn’t hit the same but I can’t even find that first version anymore
Imagine if Kanye did like a series where he released unreleased albums and tracks and different versions of the songs before they were released. That has a lot of potential
Just found your channel man, keep it up like you could be huge. The only reason i know youre a small youtuber is because i looked at your subscriber count. Just watching your video its obvious you put just as much effort in as some of the biggest channels
Aite so I Am A God's released is perfect in my opinion. The more minimal and hollow sound allowed the drums and bass to just hit so much harder. Yeezus always feels like it's about the shattering impact of the sounds themselves rather than a busier track.
Santeria was supposed to be just a sample but they didn't clear it in time, so they had to improvise the day before the album came out how to replace it. Honestly I can see why you would think that demo is better but the meaning of 070 Shake's hook actually matches the meaning of the song (death). There is also one version where it's both Kanye and Cudi (probably like a Kids See Ghosts ft.) try to make something and it doesn't go that well lol.
I couldnt agree more on number 1. I personally really like Selah a lot still too but, sheesh the unreleased version is so damn good!! Just a testament to how amazing Chakras truly is, imagine if it had a more complete mix...
I don't know maybe because i heard the original at first, so leaks version doesn't sound better for me but this is a good information, appreciate it dude.
I’m pretty sure fantano was talking about Law of Attraction (that was the time when they had the same name) but I agree if Chakras came out instead of Selah it would be one of my favorite songs ever
My personal Favs, that wheren't mentioned in the video, are Home (Homecoming OG) Bittersweet Poetry Sin City (Unmastered sounds so far) OH maaan, almost forgot the OG "Through The Wire", where he sounds disabled cuz he's rappin like days after the car crash. Thats a wild OG.
I like the released version of I Am A God better, the demo is good and all with its percussion, but I feel like the charm of I Am A God is its droning eerieness. It already paralyzes you with fear and gets the blood pumping. It also owes to the fact that Yeezus is one of Ye's most conceptual storyteller albums. The rawness of the demo and the fact that the notes don't linger and arent reverberated makes it bland.
def agree on WUITB lol, those organs go CRAZY add so much emotion but wouldnt be suprised with the direction Gods Country was taking it was meant to be more industrial and wouldnt fit
I don't mind how devil in a. new dress end as though it feels like an abrupt ending, with dead silence, once THE PIANO KEY is hit it makes it feel almost suspenseful
IMO “devil in a new dress” is perfect the way it is.
@scott mescudi L
That’s not even an opinion it’s a fact. It’s written in stone.
yes
I think the unreleased is very similar to the released and you can argue either way, but l like the extra riffs in the unreleased

Completely true
Can’t find a better way to explain it
“the good part about kanye is that he purposely makes his music sound like shit”
That only applies to a small minority of leaks. There are so many kanye leaks that sound crazy, new, and innovative.
There’s a version of Chakras that is literally just the Selah beat but with ad libs and insanely aggressive verses from Ye. Would’ve been Ye’s hypest track ever honestly compared to Selah which is a shell of what Chakras could have been.
At least we got modern jam
fr
And hyeana
Kendrick's solo in father strech my hands is great but just didn't match the overall flow
Agree
And it doesn't really mesh with the purpose of the song, absolute banger that kick starts Pablo
it would've done fantastic replacing Pt.2's Panda part
yeah i dont really like it. it’s cool tho. not needed on the final one.
Chakras is by far my favorite and most listened to leak of all time. I think it got overshadowed in the leak community from the amount of edits there are of Selah out there. Glad to see it on your no 1 spot
i love chakras too. it’s so entergetic and underrated. glad you enjoy it too 🙌🏻

No version of "Bound 1" has actually been leaked, all we've gotten are low quality previews. You're playing Chictapi's edit.
thanks for the info
it was played at a party, produced by tyler the creator

Great video man, it’s so interesting how I am a god is now modern jam!!! Also I feel like future sounds she be on here it’s so much better than Telekenesis now that utopia is out
The end of the Yandhi version of Selah/Chakras is possibly my favorite part of any Kanye West song, it gives me goosebumps
same 🙌🏻
WU TANG! WU TANG! WU TANG! WU TANG! WU TANG! WU TANG! WU TANG!, that shit was fire, and it got me so hype for yhandi,
I think the reason Ye released that version of JiL is because it’s supposed to be the ending on his first Gospel album which I think fits
i agree but i think god is would have been a better closer. with baptized being another song in the tracklist
Honestly I felt like The Imax version is perfect like its longer and vetted
@@coda8250 the trap drums on it is no it though.

i love that video hahaha the energy is unmatched. thank you for the support 🙏🏻
Personally I prefer all the released versions. They were finished the way they are for a reason.
thank you for saying this, people like to be different and edgy, and saying that unreleased songs are better is the perfect way for them to do it.
@@nish8399 some are tho . Also people can have different tastes

Law of attraction becoming Use this gospel is the saddest thing that has happend in Ye's carrer since the "never see me again" track.
Law of attraction would’ve been a top 5 Kanye song, it really is a shame
Jesus is king is hated on way too much. My favorite track was “use this gospel” but when I heard “Law of attraction” I nearly fainted
People hear Jesus on a Kanye track and instantly hate the song for that reason

Unpopular opinion:
Chakras lyrics combined with Selah instrumental would be fucking insane combo
the leaked versions seem to have more powerful and busty beats. Most likely used as a placeholder for something more soothing or fitting.
