Kanye West before KIM KARDASHIAN and the BLONDE HAIR - Lost footage of a 1996 freestyle

[The Untouchable GDFOLKS]

Kanye always had some skills man...fam was dope in 96 - wish he would go back to rapping and drop all that weird ass experimental bullshit that he does now.

This footage was from a spot called Fat Beats Records, a vinyl, cd's and tape joint in New York City that held a lot of underground Hip-Hop events. Lord finesse and Xzibit were actually at this event in the video.

Back when freestyling meant fucking freestyling.

On the cool, Ye was on Jay's ass for a good lil minute. And was better on a lot of days, fuck what you heard.

Ye was one of my biggest musical influences back before his first two albums, mostly because he built his style from another one of my biggest influences.

Lemme test your producer's ear though

The first half of Ye's production career can be traced back to one song. For the grand prize, what was the song and who produced it?

Don't fucking Google that shit either lol I never had to

 

[Raymond]

Compared to artists back then, average. Comparing his skills then to artists right now, goat.
