THANK GOD FOR DRUGS [Unreleased] (KanYe West)

This playlist/album is of Kanye West's Yeezus era, specifically during the extremely early period, where the project was named "THANK GOD FOR DRUGS", which lasted from late 2011 after WTT until late 2012, where it changed. This project originally had a much bigger and different vision, with the sound being described as "repetitive rhythms, heavy sampling, atmospheric textures, and a cold, manic energy", as opposed to other eras and even release. The project would eventually change to Yeezus, but this was a much different time to say the least. Much of what was thought of the album seems to be wrong, which was all discovered by the 2025 mega Yeezus GB that leaked many files, correcting dates and showing a clear difference in eras, where the Yeezus unreleased would now included TGFD as a sub era, as well as 2 other separate sub eras. I pretty much included every song we have on file that is finished and apart of the project, with that counting to 11. All of these songs and versions specifically are apart of this era, with no yedits, just raw unreleased files. A few songs were left out due to being too much mumble, unfinished, not fitting era, made for another artist, etc. There were also multiple versions of songs for some, so I had to pick which to include; I did that based on 4 things: 1. Is it finished/or finished enough? If a version is incomplete, over mumble, etc then there's nothing to get from it and is basically an interesting throwaway at best. 2. Is this version actually from the era? Some songs have multiple versions through eras, and including the wrong version just because it sounds better is pointless and makes the whole thing fake. 3. Is the version unique? A song can have 3 versions, with one sounding better but being almost identical to release; that's no fun, and kinda of misses the point of having a separate unreleased era album. 4. How good does it sound? Finally we are the quality of music. Obviously we want the best sounding version. This according to me obviously, but still. Any version/song not included that was still worth checking out, I included on a bonus playlist. Onto the album. I tried to make this album flow well, with the intro, middle, transitions, end, etc all purposely being the way they are. Each song is arranged in front and behind another on purpose, done after multiple lissons of each, in hopes of creating the best experience and bringing out what Ye was trying to convey in tone. Project took me about a month. I also made a Pre Rick Rubin and Post Rick Rubin Yeezus playlist if interested. #kanyewest #ye #yewest #yeezus #music #song #unreleased #unreleasedsongs #2010s #thankgodfordrugs
