This song has the greatest production I've ever heard. If he had finished this song it would've been easily his greatest. Thoughts?
I actually thought this was ass when I heard it in 2014. I didn't care for the song until I heard the leak with the beat switches
the part with the strings is legit one of the most mesmerizingly beautiful things he's done
What did he do lol
He literally cut so much out of Yeezus and wanted to cut even more that we actually ended up with & he also convinced Kanye not to release Yeezus 2 EP which songs like God Level & I Am Not Here etc. was gonna be on
Its the reason why Yeezus has the most leaks n unreleased besides Pablo (which went thru like 3 different album cycles before it became TLOP)
Lot of songs were cut due to Rubin;s influence, then the few Kanye was really attached to he was gonna finish fror the EP, but then Rubin persuaded him again. Then Kanye was took like a handful from EP for SHMG but that project as a whole got scrapped
God Level & IAANH was literally supoose to be on OG Yeezus too, n why IAANH is used in YEezus concerts & God Level was already being licensed for commercials n movies
But THaNkS Rubin

Source of him convincing Ye to not release Yeezus 2 EP and that I Am Not Here was on it.
Hard to think of another leak that builds upon the yeezus sound as good as this one did

Google it or watch the yeezus era Rick Rubin n Kanye interviews or go through old KTT1 Kanye sxn threads im not sourcing a decade old articles and timestamps for you lol
Rubin is also part of the people that inspired Kanye minimalism era & thats why Rick was cutting s*** & Kanye was going along with for "he sake of minimalism" n Rubin helped him n mentored him a lot (musically) during yeezus

Yeah but that God Level s*** is cap lol, he only helped in the TGFD -> Yeezus change.

No it isnt lol God Level was meant for Yeezus n previewed constantly n then teased for Yeezus 2 EP
TGFD is pretty much Yeezus before the track cuts & name change

God Level was made in 2014, you're probably confusing it with something else

i thot it popped up in the commercial in 2014 but it was known of before the commercial n the commercial is an extended bit from the og leak that ktt1 went wild for because it was only like 20 secs prior of the rolling drums n few mentions of god level
on genius it says it was meant for yeezus 2 ep so the earlier leak was probably assumed for yeezus is where my conjecture comes from
genius.com/Kanye-west-god-level-demo-lyrics
but yeah the b**** please track was previed early on too which is Special in the modern leaks too etc.

Stfu spreading lies
I’m not gonna jump on the Rick Rubin hate because honestly, Yeezus is all the better for how slim it is.
I do love God Level tho
Ye unreleased music trauma is real , you got posters living with whole made up stories lmao

One of my fav kanye moments period

I get that these songs didn’t make the album but the album reduction literally made the album perfect and a classic otherwise it would be too messy and the message would not be as clear

It’s for the best tbh
If Ye heeded his teachings and continued to keep projects concise, I think we’d (not Ye fans, but general public) view Donda a lot more favorably
Kanye also can do whatever he wants with extra tracks, just position them as a tape or whatever instead of trying to fit them into an album roll out
I don’t see why he hasn’t done a Good Friday-esque thing for all his albums with how much extra s*** he has laying around

He definitely should've done that for Donda
