Seems like people were able to basically complete the album through leaks that are actually high quality too which makes me wonder how none of Kanye’s other music has really leaked like this

Pretty sure it’s because some people were upset he scrapped it. At least partially.

A lot of work went into that album and it was never gonna see the light of day

I did it

well thank you then

kanye leaked it himself

kanye scrapped it anyway

Theres tons of leaks from 2015-2020 its not just yandhi

Maybe if he would have released Yandhi on time instead of that Jesus freak album, it wouldn’t have leaked

something, something, uganda

Kanye did it by himself

He did, he was mad at def ham. They were taunting his infinity contract. He hit the Ye button in retaliation. 😳

Kanye and his team most definitely leaked it

The people saying that people were upset and leaked it are ignoring that you gotta access the files somehow first before all of that. Let alone all the files not being 90% mumble and all in decent quality. He likely fully embraces leak culture now.

This was at a time he was suing all of them too for his publishing. We just saw in the last couple months how he can be with leaking files in these situations.

this is plausible and its said kanye leaked tlop too

but its also possible that people working on it were fed up - Kanye himself wasnt even in the studio any more towards the end

No lol

damn i literally had it typed about how he likely did Pablo OG too but must had deleted it

i think that could be possible, but with the types of contracts those guys sign and all the NDA's, isn't that kind of suicidal to leak Ye's s***? Like it'd be so easy to find the persons at fault

Tlop never leaked it was just the rip of the tidal one but thats a diff thing

yes true but

thefader.com/2016/02/15/kanye-west-album-leak-tidal

i can see it either way

That is more plausible and makes sense for it to be ye/his team

But if u know the leak s*** atm and how yandhi leaked/ the process its 100% nothing intentional, just the result of hackers

Its crazy because we got stems too

i been adamant about Ye leaking certain s*** for nearly 5 years now. Yandhi only boosted my confidence. S*** don't ever leak like Yandhi did

No pushback from Ye's camp or anything. Only time I ever heard something was one of Timbaland's co producers not wanting Law of Attraction out but after that one (it was one of the earlier leaks) literally nobody said anything about an albums worth of files getting out there. Push mentioned it 2-3 months later

Ye fully embraced and knew people heard Use This Gospel chants before during a listening party. He still uses the songs now and doesn't care like he did years back when we all used to be afraid a leak meant full scrap.

Im pretty sure he and his team leaked it. Especially because all the leaks happened after he said he wont curse and make secular music anymore. Theres basically no point to hide them anymore, finished or not, theres totally new chapter in his life and I assume he barely cares about the music he made before he stopped making secular music. For Ye it would be also only way to still "share" them, so he probably gave laptop to his cousin lol. Marketing wise it's also good move, as he basically also stopped making/releasing music for a while, leaks kept his voice a bit more relevant. I have noticed how all this s*** leaked a very long time not all at once which proves that "calculated leaking" strategy.

this too. no way this was some ordinary leak.

Compare those Ye leaks to the Drake leaks this year and they weren't even handled the same. We also know the reason behind Drake's and who got hacked.

Yandhi leaks one month and by the end of the next month Kim is posting out the first tracklist for Ye's next album. And through all of it Ye to this day hasn't actually scrapped all of those Yandhi tracks yet. Some were on Donda tracklist. These were not your normal leaks that piss off the artist

Yeah kanye doesnt really care about much in an angry way these days thats all lol

Yandhi stuff is just the same as anythingg else leaking there was just a bug demand for it at the time so leakers took advantage of that, thered a lot more still that we dont have.

You think kanye gave hackers the tracks so they could sell them for thousands of dollars a pop?

Stems further prove its a hack

yandhi leaked ? i know like 90% leaked, demos etc all the stuff - but did the original album, the release ready yandhi leaked? someone link it to me pls
