If it's unknown it's by definition not a hit...

Agree to disagree. Smashing Pumpkins - Cherub Rock was never played on the radio to become a hit, but it's easily one of their best bangers (unlike that ragefest Bullet with Butterfly Wings). RTJ is never played on air, but some of Killer Mike and El-P's rhymes are absolute fire ("Ooh LA LA" for instance).

Saint Pablo is great. Kanye’s unreleased stuff is pretty fantastic too. My personal favorite is I Feel Like That

Kanye - The New Workout Plan

Yes I know I am getting professional help.

The drop on that with really good speakers is so incredible

Kanye knows how to make distortion sound so engaging

Controversial to say but Kanye is my favorite artist of all time. I probably have listened to each album well over 5 times each, and MBDTF well over 20. I love his unreleased stuff. Good Music album is a hidden gem. I even like Donda, especially Lord I Need You (favorite song off the whole album). Even his Ye album had some good hooks and verses sprinkled throughout.

Ye is pretty personal for me. I go through pretty awesome highs where I can sleep like 5-6 hours a night and feel great. I’m so productive at work and get super fit. Other times I’m pretty down. I feel like it mirrors his albums (like Yeezus vs 808s, respectively).

I used to never listen to rap. I was playing Spotify while opening shift at Starbucks at 4A for my first job. I heard Spaceship as the first ever Kanye song and it resonated so much with me. I started taking life more seriously and would listen to all of his songs religiously. Seriously helped me feel more confident and go from a pretty thin, shy, awkward kid to growing up. I’m still not fully mature, but life has gone in a wildly different direction since then. Love Ye’s songs. His music is inspiring.
