My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
Conceived during West's self-imposed exile following the 2009 VMA incident and further influenced by his deteriorating relationship with model Amber Rose, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is a genre-bending masterpiece that explores the darker sides of celebrity, fame, and love. With grand production that sounds like the natural evolution of all the albums that came before it, this is seen by many as Kanye's best album, even earning an extremely rare 10/10 rating from Pitchfork.

Chain Heavy [V1] Malik Yusef (feat. Malik Yusef) In responding to a post by Talib Kweli calling Kanye out for using ghostwriters and dissing him, Malik Yusef mentioned Kanye taking him off a song and replacing him with Talib. This song was most likely "Chain Heavy" as it's one of only two songs Kanye has released with a Talib Kweli feature and Malik Yusef was working with him heavily around this time. Was included in Record4Hype, but only the instrumental. | High Quality Beat Only | |
