officially?

This. But it's still not that close. It's closer to Yeezus 2 era, I think still technically in Yeezus 2 era but a good chunk of those songs would've carried over into the early version of SHMG.

what did the names at the end mean?

not sure really

I was so hype for this in middle school man F***!!!

The Fall Out of Heaven leak with Bon I’ver and The-Dream too😭😭 def fit w these songs

All Your Fault by Ye and Big Sean was recorded during this but Kanye gave it to Big Sean, Ye went off on that song and the beat was 👌

Also I think an early version of 3500 was meant for SHMG

Heard Ditch Em In Toontown was meant for SHMG

The Life Of Pablo cover better.

Yup

Imagine if we got the original concept with ‘Tell your friends’ ‘God Level’ and ‘all day’ ‘only one’

Tbh… I remember at the time I thought Kanye was going to do what Kendrick end up doing for ‘I’ and make it sound more live. But the outro with Paul McCartney is insane it’s like it’s building to another track

last pic look like Ka Descendants of Cain cover

Ye dropped the ball during that era.

S***'s fire af.

SHMG era was an elite ye aesthetic

Cover looks fan made. Like some redditor tried to hard to make a “cool Kanye cover”

so dope

What we heard off SMHG was more focused, but definitely not good. Pretty bland album overall and I’m happy we got TLOP instead

how do we know this is legit? and what's on the CD if it is? 👀

tell your friends?

piss on your grave he supposedly gave to travis too

I remember when they released an apple music commercial and they showed half a second with piss on your grave as a kanye song with the All Day cover

crazy how memorable this era is despite no album

That cover is terrible tbh
