July 22nd, 2021 is one of the best days of my life…

I was approaching my freshman year of college and while being in the drought of not having music to listen to from Kanye West for a year or two in the midst of Covid, I was forced to listen to Good Friday grails (goated) and “Nah Nah Nah” (I know right). When the listening party starts you would hear the song “24” that was dedicated to the late great basketball player, Kobe Bryant, who passed January 26th, 2020, due to a fatal car crash. The collections of the songs we would during the event weren’t even performed live at the event. West was just there. Probably the most rockstar thing an artist can do. Not perform but still somehow gives an audience of over 40,000 people the most interesting show of their lives. Druski, a famous internet personality, even was there also and gave you a meme of a lifetime.

Mind you the album wasn’t even finished. But it stuck with people how good it was at its rawest form.

One of these songs happened to be “Remote Control”. Which is to this day one of the best songs I have ever heard to first listen wise. This song was so Young Thug-esque looking back at it and he even got thug on the final version. (Below i’m literally crying to it.)

But tears aside we would see West have songs give commentary to infamous moments like his South Carolina breakdown in 2020 in a song named “South Carolina” featuring Pusha T and Tony Williams. Also, we seen songs off Yhandi, one of West’s most infamous albums, get finished and played like “Hurricane” and “Praise God” off of God’s Country.
