yeah it's really nothing special tbh, people saying these are crazy and amazing probably never even listened to 2001

Dre remixes suck ass

Y'all buying mid beats and guest verses for THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS

for "archival reasons"

not only nothing special, some of these are f***ing trash. Can't believe Dre and his team made these.....

I was so excited for this project but it seems like Dre doesn't have it anymore. There were rumors about him releasing an album this year and now these remixes kinda killed my excitement

Intro/Every Hour/Selah and Up from the Ashes are okay

LA Monster Dre would have been one of the worst things Kanye attached his name to

rest are just mid

Feel like I haven’t been in this thread for ages. JIK II is basically fully leaked?

The fact is that they're unreleased for a reason. These are all random studio sessions. As far as we know, knowing Kanye hops on a lot of a ideas and Dre has a team, they probably tried 40 different beats for Follow God alone.. The sellers are just selling random sessions and they can pretend it's the one and only Dre version because they're our only source of information. And these guys are buying mid beats, released vocals and some feature here and there for comparably high prices. At least Yandhi songs had some ye input (his voice and some lyrics). These are all lyrics we already have with beats made by Dre and some random ghost producers he has

tbh i think the motivation to get these two is so we can get Closed on Sunday with a new verse and a Paak feat

we kinda f***ed up cause there was a poll for what to buy next and a lot of people thought it'd be better value to get two cheap songs rather than one expensive one

so was use this gospel ft. eminem a lie?

nah it's just that the guy who's selling us the album doesn't have utg ft em or hands on ft trav

so we're prob not gonna get them

isn't that like 3k or 4k? for a verse and a feat? yikes

it's basically a new finished kanye feat paak prod dre song just with the closed on sunday hook / verses tho?

considering LA monster was like 6k this is not bad

A snippet for

YNW Melly - Downtown Soul (feat. Kanye West) prod. Timbland

has leaked.

Dre can't be serious with these beats.

like 4 songs out of 11 known are leaked

4 tracks so far

I really hope this doesn’t f*** up the chain

You can't say Dre's washed when these were stolen and leaked without permission or any intention for it to be heard by fans

I wouldn’t make these type of beats for myself tbh

But you don't know the circumstances they were created in, we could be listening to ideas that were months older and were only considered for the song for like a day before scrapped, if they wanted us to hear them they would release them

This type of logic doesn’t work when it comes to Kanye considering the garden got scrapped and nah nah nah didn’t

Nah Nah Nah coming out is a direct reaction to the positive response to tracks like Alien that were unfinished that people said were better than better developed tracks both production and lyrics wise from JIK

People are idiots including Kanye

i dunno if those 2 songs are similar enough to compare. i still think it's pretty evident that nah nah nah is a song much more in the vein of lift yourself than the garden

that being said, i find the production styles in these dre remixes to also remind me of lift yourself in a way lol
