Happy G.O.O.D. Friday
Remember when Kanye West was a fun asshole who made timeless music instead of a cult leader who put out drink coasters and weed plates? Good times. Err, excuse me, G.O.O.D. times. One of the best album rollouts of its era, G.O.O.D Fridays were so electric people assumed they were what was going to be cut from MBDTF, building the album's expectations to impossibly unrealistic heights. And the vast majority of these tracks were cut, but because a couple made it on to what was widely perceived as the best album of the past decade message boards were actually upset for a few days. "How could the album be so short? We already heard half of these." And more grumbling and terrible takes were quickly washed away by folks with brains. I don't know what it would take to get these onto streaming services but as long as Youtube remains a thing I guess this will do. He really put Raekwon on the same track as 8-year old Justin Bieber. That's a thing that happened in the real world. Incredible.
