\"Listen<\/p>\n

Pure awesomeness! Peep the tracklist after the jump.<\/p>\n

Remember the Kanye West beat tape<\/a> that leaked last week? Super rare, sample-heavy beats from Yeezus back when he was just a mortal man, circa ’97. And, unsurprisingly, the instrumentals are fire, a perfect mix of boom-bap sounds to play when you’re in a throwback vibe. But what about when you’re in the mood for something more than instrumentals? A couple of these beats ended up getting placed, but what if Kanye was already Kanye\u2014the superproducer chef serving to the A-listers\u2014when he made them? Welp, we took the what-ifs and turned them into a straight up fire mash-up. Some of your favorite 1997 rappers and their most classic 1997 verses over Yeezy’s 1997 beats. What more could you ask for?<\/p>\n
