Hear Kanye West's Unreleased Instrumental Tape From 2001

The web was hit with a real gem yesterday morning, an entire 27-track instrumental tape from Kanye West, supposedly found in Jensen Karp's (worked with Kanye early in his career) garage. Karp had this to say about the tape:
 
“I was stumbling through my garage, searching through old storage bins, when I came across some old beat CDs from my days as a signed Interscope rapper. I was shocked to find that two of them, both given to me in ‘01, had the name Kanye West on them. These two CDs, which I believe are the oldest Kanye beats ever released.
I think this collection of early Kanye beats shows you where he came from, even if it doesn’t necessarily sound like ‘Kanye’ now. He kept at it and became the incredible producer he is today. I remember he even had to leave the studio sessions early, so he could make the last train back to his mom’s house. He’s come a long way, and I’m proud to have been around, even if for just a second at the start.”

 Of all the things to find in your garage right?  The tape consists of some pretty catchy, slapping beats that you could almost imagine Pharrell, Snoop Dogg, or an artist of that caliber recording stuff over. Some have a real pop feel, almost like the tracks you hear put out as the first single, while others are backed by some hard brass and banging drums, this tape has a nice all around sound to it for sure. Check out the tape below, and let me know if you enjoyed it. Kanye fans rejoice, and if you're feeling froggy see if you can rap along and keep up with the pace!
