Thank God For Drugs
Before Kanye chose the name Yeezus for his sixth solo album, the name was Thank God For Drugs. Recording started in 2012 and accelerated in early 2013, with Kanye and his producers producing material very quickly. The tracklist for the album boasted 20 songs, with around 3.5 hours of rough material created for the album. After changing the album's name to Yeezus, Kanye recruited Rick Rubin to cut down this material and take the music in a minimal direction.
