that dennys at 2 am reference/joke was killer
Whats the song at 14:32?
@@kevinbmx2225 St. Tropez (J Cole)
@@IsaacsSuperShorts it actually isn’t lol, it shares the same sample but it aint, thanks tho, that song mad fire
Remember when Carti's fans sang his unreleased song on his concert? That was funny af, because he himself wondered how it was possible
🤣🤣🤣
That was hilarious seeing, he was so confused at how they knew the lyrics
@@ze2132 It was New N3on
@@ze2132 Yeah sounds the same but give it a try haha
“How the fuck y’all know that song??”
The Beach Boys' SMiLE used to be one of those unreleased albums with lots of unofficial bootlegs floating around until Brian Wilson decided to revisit and release it in 2004 as a re-recorded solo album. Even the original 1966/67 recordings were finally released in 2011. Absolutely amazing album.
Makes me think of the Stooges album Raw Power which was re-mixed in 1997 and became a completely different album in the process. Longer explanation:
The original version of the mix was considered unreleasable by the band's label. They weren't exactly rolling in the benjamins being a fairly underground rock band in the early 70s, and this was effectively their last shot at making some money with a slightly more "traditional" rock album (as opposed to the experimental proto-punk hellscape that is Funhouse), so they accepted the request to change the mix.
If you don't know the story, you'll be surprised to hear the person they got to mix it was David Bowie. It wouldn't be my first thought, but he was kind of "the guy" at the time. Problem was, they barely had enough money to pay him for one day of work, so he basically took the tapes Iggy Pop gave to him and started working. There's differing takes on what happened. Bowie claimed something like that the band, lead guitar, and singing were all in separate takes and he basically had to cobble them together himself, which made it hard to actually mix properly, but that's contested. The result was very subdued compared to what Iggy Pop had originally produced, but was considered far better by all parties.
The album gets released, doesn't do too well, band breaks up. Not like they weren't going to anyway, but that didn't help. Flash forward to 1996 and Iggy Pop is now being asked to mix the album himself. A lot of people hated the mix and thought it completely killed the energy of the band, and had taken to circulating fanmade "fixed" tapes. He agrees to do it, and the result is absolute insanity.
If people thought Bowie's mix was subdued and unlistenable, Iggy's was the exact other side. He made the album so loud and shrill that paradoxically it's basically impossible to listen to at reasonable volume. The guitar and vocals are mixed so loud that they start audibly clipping. And everyone loves it.
There's still some debate about which version is better, but I only really see people preferring the re-mix. Eventually that version gained a remastering which fixed some of the loudness and clipping issues, which I hear is the best version.
@MAN yeah, the Iggy mix is raw as hell. Search and Destroy becomes visceral. Huge improvement
Glad someone said something about it, SMILE would've been one of the greatest albums ever if not for the events that happened with brain Wilson. The re release box set is very good and a thoughtful recreation though
Smile is truly the greatest "what if" story in music history. But hey, at least we got Brian Wilson's interpretation of it and the sessions which are wonderful.
my favorite album ever
can't forget that the leaks for the original whole lotta red literally kept Carti's career alive for the two years he was teasing the album, super iconic and even in an unreleased format still managed to be insanely influential
The reason he took so long was because he his music kept leaking
@@Ehgg- Initially yes, but only 5 or 6 songs from the original wlr in early 2019 got leaked, and very little got leaked following that
we cant forget narcist too
No it's because he's a dirty dirty liar
@@Ehgg- We eventually got a masterpiece. But i wish we had gotten WLR v1 in 2019 because we never got an album with his baby voice sound
My Chemical Romance was supposed to release another concept album called The Paper Kingdom which was about a group of parents who have tragically lost their children, creating a story about their kids in the woods fighting a witch.
It never came out due to many different reasons but it was just ultimately too depressing even for MCR
Hmm...lovely album concept!
that sounds fucking amazing
We need this someday 🙏
Dude Tylers "Wolf" (From 2010) has been leaking massively. Apparently the story goes he was going to release it but his computer crashed. But recently in this last week almost like 8 songs dropped. It's similar to projects like "Bastard" and "Goblin".
Legit nothing leaked for 12 years, and the album is nearly done in a week
@@jegg6397 Yeah dude, even dinosaur this year in general has been leaking on the same level
honestly surprised that bites didn’t mention tyler here. he has a lot of lost and unreleased material.
there are alot of obvious fakes coming out lately that alot of people seem to be gullible enough to believe too.. rotten sarah for example
it’s also worth noting it was supposed to come before GOBLIN and made a new version (of WOLF) after the crash for his major label debut but couldn’t because the label said it was too dark and had to dumb it down to GOBLIN.
in 1994 David Bowie recorded a SUPER experimental and conceptual album called ‘Leon’, which has since been at least partially leaked online and it’s really really interesting!
As far as I know, The Leon suite has been fully released years ago. The first leaked was in the 2000's in very low audio quality and even Mike Garson claimed via twitter that he was very surprised on how far the leakers went in finding the album. Later it was re-released years later in a much better audio quality by a bootleg music label: the first one has the full suite (the album length is around an hour and twenty min) and a limited edition with some demos left out from 0.1 outside that came frome The Leon Suites and their rare live perfomance.
Wolf 2010 by Tyler the Creator is one that’s very interesting due to it leaking a ton lately! It was originally gonna be released in 2010, but Tyler released Goblin instead due to XL Recordings scrapping Wolf. Tyler was then gonna release it after 2011 but his computer crashed and the files were lost. They have been recovering them since, and only now there’s been a ton of leaks.
And of course, my original comment got deleted by TH-cam I think, so thank you Susan.
ong
And zombies circus lol
MCR's The Paper Kingdom. Was supposed to be a concept album about a support group of parents of dead children, it ended up being too depressing for the band and they broke up before they could release it. There's been whispers of it being released for years. Most recently 3 snippets were leaked onto r/MCR that OP said were from The Paper Kingdom, and that they were willing to sell the whole album for 10k. Although due to backlash from the sub they never leaked the full album or any full tracks.
it was going to be leaked on leakedcx but the bands fans ruined it lmao
@@max-zf8ob yea, it ended up being bought and vaulted by a seller.
@mvthii76 no they should dump it 😢
Balloonerism is one of those albums that feel so personal especially when you learn the history behind it
Now right after Weezer released their first album, Rivers came up with the idea of a “space opera” album called Songs From the Black Hole. It was eventually scrapped in favour of Pinkerton where a couple songs would surface on. It would take just over a decade for some more songs to be released under the Alone demo series in 2007 and 2008. 2 years after that, Pinkerton Deluxe would release with a bunch of demos for SFTBH.
YESS, hoping someone would mention it! Nice, I was gonna include it but this was already getting suuper long lol.
Ecce Homo better
Prince' Black album was originally pulled two weeks before release as he felt the album would have been a dark stain on his legacy, however a few legitimate copies got out and the album got bootlegged to hell before getting a limited release in '95.
It is one of the only officially realized projects of his to not be on Spotify although you can pretty easily find it on TH-cam. It's a very fascinating album, including some of his darkest material such as Bob George.
One of my USMC roommates had the actual release version of the album on Cassette. I hope he still has it.
There's a infamous charli xcx's unreleased album called "XCX world" which mostly said that it is the best album of her and her producer, SOPHIE, and might change the perspective of pop music but it got leaked and the record dumped this album which disappointed everyone.
rip xcx world, rip sophie
An unreleased album I wish was released was artpop act II. I wonder what have happened if the artpop era was supposed to go the way Gaga wanted to.
The Weeknd also had an EP named “The Noise” which was gonna be his first project he had his stage name at “kin Kane” but would later change it but if you search up “The Noise” on TH-cam or Spotify you’ll find the songs so it’s really unreleased than lost but I thought it was interesting and wanted to let everyone in the comments know about it.
Gorillaz Sea Sides was a companion/bonus album for Plastic Beach. It had all sorts of goodies and even unreleased songs. The whole thing was leaked, but it’s never been officially released. There’s been all sorts of fan campaigns to save it.
Still waiting for the Beethoven album to drop
😂
real
if he was really a goat, why hasn’t he dropped in over 100 years? Checkmate
It’s kinda crazy that Yandhi was practically finished with Kanye and the help of cool producers on YT to iron the small tweaks. Also, the many versions of Hurricane and what it would finally turn into come release. My favourite still the OG or the DONDA live listen (the beat stops in between for the release ver. kill it a little)
i was waiting for you to talk about PUPPY and TEAM EFFORT by brockhampton, 2 albums bh made and were supposed to be released right off of the saturation trilogy in 2017-18 to start a new trilogy, but got scrapped after the ameer vann controversy and got kicked out, they instead released iridescence,ginger and roadrunner as the new trilogy, there are many leaks for both these albums and their lead track READY FOR WAR from PUPPY is considered the best brockhampton song. (they still released puppy merch during their breakup merch drop)
ready to war is considered the best bh song by whom?
The things I would do to have puppy officially released
Leak it please or release someday
To my knowledge most of the Detox leaks you can listen to are from around the 08'-11' era. (Topless, Die Hard, Shit Popped Off, Hey Young world, etc.) Anything that was intended for the inital 02' release is virtually non existant and I havent found many sources with concrete confirmation on potential tracks.
(I believe tracks that ended up on other albums such as Could've Been You, Drug Test, and The Recipie, were also intended for the 2010-2011release)
Yeah Drug Test was definitely intended for Detox
Im pretty sure 12 steps to recovery was from 2011 era ? not sure, there has also been some reference tracks recorded for dre like “This is Detox” by T.I & Kobe
"Get It" by Dr. Dre leaked within the last year featuring Sly Pyper that uses the same beat as 50 Cent - "50 For President" that was most definitely a Detox leak. Its funny cause on a forum I requested someone mashing up the 2 songs to sound like a Detox record & it ended up going viral. You can find multiple reuploads on TH-cam.
Daft punk had a music video that was released but was removed from their website. We are still searching for it. It was called Rollin & Scratchin (Live in birmingham)
my favorite unreleased album is songs from the black hole by weezer, the demos are great and just the story of its creation is also great
It sounded great but the lyrics were really bad IMO other than Longtime Sunshine
Carnival Of Light is a 14 minute long Beatles single that to the public at least has been unreleased, it was originally commissioned in 1967 by the Million Volt Light and Sound Rave and was supposedly an avant garde music concrète that the two remaining Beatles have, Paul McCartney has wanted to release it multiple times but Ringo is still yet to form an opinion on wether they should release the track
My boy Ringo please let that release 😢
One album we'll never get is the debut by Meat Beat Manifesto. 'Storm The Studio' was nearly finished when the studio ended up burning down in a fire. Jack Dangers & co. managed to cobble together some different versions of their more well known singles from around that time and create a tribute to it under the same name. Then you got the 4th Prodigy album that left such a sore taste to Liam that he got rid of all the masters and started again from scratch... not before releasing its first single 'Baby's Got A Temper' that is, a song so divisive that it was left off of the band's singles compilation and reformatted into an EP.
ACTUALLY, armed audio warfare, which was released shortly after storm the studio as their second full length release, is intended to be a "recreation" of what they had in mind for the original storm the studio, although even then if you look at some of the singles and ep releases prior to the first and second album a lot of stuff and samples changed, so in a way yeah the original is truly forever lost
Weezer's Songs From The Black Hole would have been their second album. It would have been about a group of explores going into deep space.

I know you briefly touched on Kanye’s album but I’d also add Turbo Grafx, Yeezus II, Good Ass Job. There’s so many gems from them
True, but I think there's a difference between "album that's made but never released for some reason" and "album that was planned but never even made" - Yandhi was substantially done (at least 50%) but Turbo Grafx and GAJ were little more than considered albums that never even got to take shape before Kanye decided to do something else.
@@saeedbaig4249 Wdym Yandhi was basically done, the only thing that stopped it from releasing was the fact that Kanye had his christian episode and he just turned it into christian rap you can play at the church
Still waiting on Sky Ferreiras sophomore album Masochism, as well as having multiple scrapped albums before her debut Night Time, My Time. We’ve had leaks of tracks and we’ve had her tease this record for YEARS
Still upset about how her career was treated, her official releases are great but the leaks are great too. Just imagine what was made & still not leaked yet.
I’m so sad we didn’t get it in 2022. Capitol Record sucks hard.
Jai Paul has a pretty interesting story/career as a musician! Released two demos back in 2010-2012 called BTSTU and Jasmine, which the former has been sampled by artists like Drake and Beyonce. Really blew up before he even released anything official. In 2013 someone leaked basically all the work he was working on for his debut album. Super rough and not finished. There's rumors on if it was him or the label, but according to him, the leak really made him lose interest and basically gave up on it. The album has it's high moments, and quite a bit of praise for being as unfinished as it is. He finally officially released it in 2019 but I don't think anything was any more finished than before. Just the demos from the original. Sad story since he started with so much traction. Never really came out with anything after that. I think he released a single in 2019 but that's it. All of this momentum just halted.
i was looking for a comment about this. i listen to the songs from bait ones a lot and i always wonder what could've been since i think he was pretty ahead of his time and would've loved to see how he wanted the album to actually turn out
It sucks that someone did that to him
I felt so bad for him
The Weeknd's unreleased stuff is really good. Not just the songs like the OG Crew Love and Enemy, but demo tracks that would later become songs we did get, such as parts of "Ivory" becoming the pre-chorus hook to Starboy, I Don't Need Love becoming Win My Love, which then became the premise for A Lonely Night, and so on. There's even that snippet "You know I love it when you're angry" which he'd previewed during the lead-up to Dawn FM's release, and we just kind of... never wound up getting it. Hopefully it, along with Take Me Back To LA and Hold Your Heart show up on his next project
This is ture
Hold Your Heart is so good man
Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails) and Maynard James Keenan (Tool) were set to do a project called "Tapeworm" in the 90's, at their height. Then, it came out as one song on a side project (A Perfect Circle), without Reznor.
...at least we got Barz Simpson as a track from DOOM?
My most wanted unreleased album is joji's original 1st album titled "Chloe burbank" back in 2017ish i believe. There are 2 stories ive heard as to why the album was shelved: the 1st one is that joji was still making filthy frank and after making a video as joji talking to the fans, he got massive hate from his fanbase and it discouraged him from doing anything not frank related. The second one is that joji had uploaded a few songs to his soundcloud at the time and was generating some hype, but then quite a few songs got leaked and it frustrated him, causing him to shelve the project. Though never oficially releasing, there are various compilations on youtube that attempt to put the leaked songs in order. Its a great listen, i just wish it actually had come out
In the peak of her career, Charli xcx had her 3rd studio album ready but then they was a bunch of drama and leaks and stuff, if you researched it i bet it could be a full segment
My fav unreleased/lost album gotta be Cigarettes and Valentines by Green Day. I personally find it super elusive and from the snippets of the album, it's cool to hear what could've been released if American Idiot was never thought of
0:25, loved the cypress hill citation
Ive been waiting for the supposedly greatest Dre album!
There's probably two or three unreleased My Bloody Valentine albums. They're notorious for scrapping their own material with Kevin's extreme perfectionism. There's also the lost Public Enemy album that got replaced by Apocalypse '91 (if I remember correctly)
Detox by Dr Dre was one of the most popular unreleased albums to date with a bunch rap artists from back in the day. Wish he releases it one day.
I only imagine that David Bowie's Toy stayed unreleased for so long was because the executive with the final say on it shipping went into a shock coma upon seeing it's cover.
The Who were actually going to follow up their first rock opera, 'Tommy,' with another one titled: "Lifehouse." Long story short, the album was too ambitious for the group and they wanted to make a regular album, leading to the creation of probably the Who's most popular album, "Who's Next," which all songs on the album were actually made for 'Lifehouse.' The other material made for 'Lifehouse' was thankfully released as singles like: "Let's See Action", "Water", "Join Together", and "Relay", or was released on compilation albums.
Here's another one; The Move's original bassist, Ace Kefford, was kicked out of the group in 1968, due to a nervous breakdown during a package tour with the Jimi Hendrix Experience, Amen Corner, the Nice, and the Pink Floyd, just to name a few. After the firing, Ace embarked on a solo album, featuring: Tony Visconti on production, and Jimmy Page on guitar. However, Ace suffered another nervous breakdown during the making of the album, causing him to walk out and the album being shelved. Fortunately, in 2003, the shelved material was released as, "Ace the Face," that also featured some songs from his other band called, "The Ace Kefford Stand." You can also find some demos by Ace on TH-cam if you look hard enough.
As for the Move, they reached #1 in the UK singles chart with 'Blackberry Way' (my personal favourite song by the group), replaced their lead singer, Carl Wayne, with Jeff Lynne from the Idle Race, and finally rebranded to the Electric Light Orchestra.
JOHNNY HOBO AND THE FREIGHT TRAINS!!
"Love songs for the apocalypse"
One of the most raw albums ever and this guy didn't ever release it online and only made 1000 CD copy's .
He technically released it but everything was erased and only people re uploading it is up. It just now got out on Spotify because people kept putting it up without permission
The original master was just sold on eBay for $3,000
It’s not really unreleased, but in 2011-2012, twenty one pilots had an album titled Regional at Best, but got taken down after getting signed by Fueled by Ramen. But on their next album, Vessel, they recreated some of the songs on Regional at Best and they made a bonus version with the rest of the songs on RaB only recreating one or two songs, but the bonus version is only available in the UK and Japan. You can still find tons of uploads on TH-cam of the album
The band Chromatics was supposed to release their album 'Dear Tommy' back in 2014, but their frontman, Johnny Jewel, destroyed all physical copies of it and wanted to start the whole record from scratch, despite already teasing the album already with a few singles.
They eventually dropped another album in 2019 called Closer to Grey and eventually disbanded in 2021, but Dear Tommy still have not seen the light of day except for the few singles that were originally teased for it.
Woah, has it ever leaked?
Brockhampton's PUPPY is the first example that came into my head. The album was essentially finished in 2018 and was gonna release, but the allegations from Ameer Vann which led to him getting kicked out the group forced the group to go in a very different direction
The one album I really was excited for was puppy by brockhampton, I believe it would’ve been such a great release after the sat trilogy, and maybe would’ve kept the brockhampton hypetrain alive a little longer
The Jai Paul album is the quintessential unreleased album to me. I remember getting hold of the leaks and talking anyone who'd listens ears off until they agreed to give them a listen.
this was really interesting, his case was craaazy. It's similar to Bilal but he chose the latter and just stopped making music. solid pick~
Tinashe beefed with RCA Records over the direction her sophomore album Joyride was supposed to go in - so much so that she independently released a more experimental project, Nightride, before the poppier Joyride album came two years later.
I'm shocked you didn't mention BROCKHAMPTON's PUPPY. With the boyband broken up, people are still clamoring for it.
There's also Charli XCX's XCX World which got shelved after her Google drive got hacked. She even asked for a link this year. Asking for "Taxi" to get released is an overplayed meme at this point.
There's also Kanye's TurboGrafx 16, which is only worth mentioning because it's called that.
Weezer's Songs From The Black hole is one that's never officially been released, but there are plenty of fan recreations out there. Another lost one from the 90s indie rock scene is an early Jeff Mangum project (the singer, guitarist and songwriter of Neutral Milk Hotel) entitled Cranberry Life Cycle. The tapes still exist, they just need to be digitised. Also Jeff Buckley had another album in the works before he died. Most of it was finished, but he wasn't happy with it so he scrapped a lot of it.
skrillex: [creates peak dupstep]
some random robbers: ALRIGHT RAMBLERS LETS GET RAMBLIN *insert razormind here*
Porter Robinson sampling an unreleased collab between him and Kero Kero Bonito on his song Musician will always be a fun one to me tbh.
That remembers me to the Tabasco sample used on Holla Out by Skrillex, still waiting for that track to see the light
Anyone think of KING CAPITAL, the post humorous album of late Capital STEEZ. Joey Bada$$ has been trying to release that album for like 8 years. But for some reason he hasn't been able to because of anywhere from not being able to clear samples to problems with STEEZ's family
Fun fact several MF DOOM verses from born like this, the mouse and the mask, and even some jj and czar face were supposed to be on madvillany 2 but doom got impatient and madlib sited that as to why MV2 is always 85% done
Juice wrlds outsiders. It was talked about for a while but then after his death some tracks were dropped on his debut posthumous album and some tracks were never finished
Aphex Twin has a bunch of unreleased stuff, however he did dump a bunch of songs on a random soundcloud (around 230 songs) Another thing that happened was some controversy with Kanye over a sample without permission.
5:30 Im glad you mentioned Skrillex. he also has some unreleased projects. He announced an album in 2015 then nothing happened.
then he mention the album in 2019, then 2020.
he delayed the projects to 2023, so he didnt release a solo album for 9 years. 2014 Recess - 2023 Quest For Fire/Don't Get Too Close
Imagine Dragons has an unreleased album titled Deep Cuts with tracks like
Lost Cause,
Destination,
All For You,
February,
Darkness and more…
The Beastie Boys have *two* unreleased albums, "Country Mike's Greatest Hits" and "Hot Sauce Committee, Pt. 1".
you should make a sequel on unreleased singles, stuff like kanye's "See Me Again" or "Mama's Boyfriend" or tyler's "Rotten Sarah"
I’m surprised to have not seen Jai Paul mentioned here, his whole career was contingent on his 2013 album that was leaked and later re-released as demos that still hold up to this day.
On that Pink Floyd album, there's actually an album that predates this (1973) by Barbra Streisand (I shit you not) called Barbara Streisand and Other Musical Instruments that also uses household objects as Musical instruments
Haven't heard it yet actually, really curious
The Green Day part was CRAZY to believe, I fell head over heels for American Idiot when it first released, biked my butt to the nearest store in the suburbs that I could get to, to get that album! Green Day, I'm sorry that your master tapes got stolen, but dam you guys are my heros for not letting that mishap stop you, you didn't let yourselves fall to the ground, but instead pulled off a hand-stand 180 and ran full sprint to finishing a whole new album that I've still been listening to from beginning to end DECADES AND YEARS LATER!!!!
This is definitely an interesting topic to look into and/or cover
OKALAMA: A Series of Meditations By Kendrick Lamar is a really strange album. It was a rock album recorded by Kendrick Lamar and took a far more depressing tone than MMATBS. I've listened to some of the leaks and it's a pretty strange album tbh
Kendrick Lamar Unreleased Prayer song definitely should of been on Mr Morale and The Big Steppas
Gotta shout of Mac Miller's Balloonerism
The story surrounding it is that Mac was working on it around the same time he was making Faces, there were even two tracks that end up on Faces proper. Apparently at some point Mac said to release Balloonerism if he died before Faces was finished. Ofc tho, Faces was finished & released and Balloonerism got leaked some time after. Honestly some of my favorite Mac songs of all time are from the Balloonerism leaks. Funny Papers, Stoned, Excelsior, Do You Have A Destination, He Finally Sleeps. Would have been great to see it officially released but I'm not upset that we got Faces instead because Faces is a masterpiece.
mcr's paper kingdom was originally going to be their 5th studio album. gerard way was pressured after danger days to make a more sad and depressing album simmiler to their early stuff but this wasnt the direction gerard wanted to go. he droped the project and the band broke up, with the song fake your death (originaly intended for the album) being released on a greatest hits album. with the band back together, there has been talk about the album being released but its unclear if they will finish it, create a different album, or if they even will make a new record.
The Hunting Bears bit at 2:57 made me laugh a little too much.
The antithesis of hip hop, Weezer, after their incredibly well received single, can’t stop partying FT lil Wayne, from their best album Raditude. (All jokes aside now) Weezer actually planned to release a second album after their original self titled blue album that wasn’t Pinkerton, an album that was structured and would tell a story about 5 or 6 astronauts going to space with the band members playing roles such as lead singer Rivers Cuomo playing the titular character of their first song from the blue album, Jonas. The album would have been about them travelling, to Jonas being stuck in a love triangle with two of the female shipmates with other songs being about the other shipmates too, then finally returning (I believe) this would’ve been called “songs from the black hole” which only had one song professionally recorded and one song re-recorded and repurposed for the band’s actual second album, this being ‘Tired Of Sex’ the song that was was actually professionally recorded but sat unreleased for years was ‘I just threw out the love of my dreams’ a song that got tik famous in recent years and stuck out as the only song not to be sung by any of the weezer band mates, instead sung by a woman from a completely different band, it was finally released as a B-side in the deluxe version of the Pinkerton album, released years later when the album was rediscovered and was given the critically acclaimed status it really deserves from weezer fans to this day. The reason songs from the black hole never released was because while making it Rivers had surgery to extend one of his legs since one was shorter than the other, this put him in immense pain, that along with addictions and other things caused rivers to deep dive into a depression and even going back to Harvard for a while. Eventually he came back to songwriting, incredibly jaded and depressed, which lead to Pinkerton being released instead. Sorry for the massive info dump there lmao- I may or may not be obsessed with this band by this point, my future is 100% doomed.
2:58 IS THAT HUNTING BEARS HOLY CRAP THANK YOU
Inspectah Deck was originally gonna drop his first album in 95 with the album having a Spider-Man theme and it had alot of tracks but with RZA’s flood the album got completely lost it’s such a shame
I mean, Carnival of Light by The Beatles, granted that's a song but its remains unreleased.
The original tapes of Band on the Run were stolen from Paul McCartney & Wing's tour bus when they were mugged in tour.
Thom Yorke released what is said to be an 8 day long ambient track for Stanley Donwoods art show in the mid 2010's, some of it fans have recorded it and put it up on TH-cam.
Pink Floyd also had another unreleased album that they worked in in the early 90s which some of those tracks would end up being The Division Bell, some of those tracks would appear however either re-worked or in their orignally state depending which copy of the album you got on their last effort The Endless River.
The Beach Boys: SMiLE (not Smiley Smile) was originally supposed to come out in 1967. Bootlegs have around since 1983 but was re-recorded in 2004 and The original 60-67 sessions were released in 2004. One of the tracks was believed by the artist to have burned down a building only a few days after the track was recorded. Until it was finally released along with a lot of the sessions, it was the white whale of unreleased albums. The album that would’ve went against the Beatles Sgt Peppers.
There was a group called Livesquad who worked with 2pac and Digital Underground. They never released an album, although they were planning to. However, this was during the Ice T Cop Killah incident, and Tommy Boy Records dropped them, claiming the album to be too violent. A few years later, one of the three members, Stretch, was murdered.
I love unreleased music! I have a whole channel dedicated to finding and archiving unreleased music and I love the lore
a couple of unreleased albums I can think of is: Melanie Amaro's Truly album has never released nor has any clips leaked either, she was the first winner of the Xfactor USA. Limp Bizkit's Stampede of the Disco Elephants hasnt been released aside from a couple of singles and a few leaked clips.
Unreleased albums are such an interesting part of music. It's like an alternate world of music.
Michael Jackson and Prince/Prince and Michael Jackson. MJ AND PRINCE, PRINCE AND MJ WERE SUPPOSED TO MAKE THE FUCKING 1989 BATMAN SOUNDTRACK TOGETHER AND SHIT JUST DIDNT GO THROUGH
this one still hurts me~
King Mathers would have been Eminem's best record. The tracklist got leaked, mostly singles and tracks released by Em and Co. around the time. The retirement, goodbye track, titled "It's Been Real", is actually super moving. doherty on youtube has a great conceptual version of it and I think it could have been the actual record, give or take a few tracks
What was the tracklist?
the only real version we know of “Its been real” is the hook (fire) and him talking for about a minute and a half. “Syllables” (feat. Jay-z, Dr. Dre, 50 Cent, Stat Quo & Ca$his) is clear imo
calling King Mathers his "best record" is crazy lol - "Beautiful" & (i think) "Careful What You Wish For" was from those sessions too, I remember Em saying 2 songs were from the originally scrapped project. It wasn't even an album either, It was supposed to be a mixtape as far as I remember. Theres a leak called "Give Me The Ball" that Eminem referenced in a recent interview calling it "Detroit Basketball" that was a promo for the Detroit Pistons during his hiatus, that could of been for King Mathers as well.
YESSSSSSSSS, smallbites is backk
6:11 is literally how I justify listening to graduation during workouts.
A very interesting story of a unreleased album is Jewelz, a rap alias of Allen Iverson. The way it was shot down is incredible
boards of canada preparing to make 50 albums and then make 2 tapes total
Boards of Canada are most well known for their mysterious image as well as their extensive catalog of music that is not out publicly, only being shared to friends and family. A few old tunes that we know of is their Play by Numbers EP, Catalog 3, Hooper Bay, and A Few Old Tunes. One of their few public releases was Boc Maxima in 1996, which had some tracks that would appear in their OFFICIAL debut Music Has The Right To Children two years later.
Aphex twin is another artist I like that has this sort of mythos. A few good examples include his planned 1996 LP under his Caustic Window alias which less than 10 test pressings were made and handed off to his friends. It was only saved when someone started a kickstarter, with his blessing, to buy and digitize a listing on Discogs back in 2014. Another example of a lost album of his was Analogue Bubblebath 5 LP, which was part of his Analogue Bubblebath EPs. Only 20 of these were mailed out to people who had another order of theirs delayed. Both of those were to be released under his Rephlex label.
Chemical Brothers had a few tracks that never saw a studio release, such as a diddy they played during their 2005 Push the Button Tour, that was only played in DJ sets for a while.
the only album i remember, other than the ones you mentioned, is paper kingdoms by MCR
Fiona Apples idler wheel I think was initially held back by her label, but was eventually released after it was leaked.
Toadies were less lucky with their second album.
3LW had a scrapped album but it never got released due to the group breaking up. Kiely started a bunch of stuff that lead to the group's demise . but you can find it on TH-cam through leaks same with a Rihanna album that had songs that were probably given to someone else..
lifehouse by the who, a concept album by Pete Townsend got reworked into whos next blah blah blah it’s cool
If Scott The Woz talked about music instead of games and it was animated
one that eventually *officially* released forty years later was captain beefheart's bat chain puller; finished in 1976, fucked over by his management and label, so he sent the master tapes to friends and told them to bootleg it as much as possible, only getting a proper release in 2012.
I think it would’ve been interesting if Gorillaz had released Carousel instead of Plastic Beach, it had a cool concept, and could’ve had an opportunity to be a banger! If we found out what songs could’ve been on it. Besides Electric Shock that was reworked into the majority of the songs in the album anyway. Still love it though
i feel like i remember reading somewhere that dr. dre said a lot of the music he was working on for detox was bad and not up to his standards. there are some leaked songs like die hard and topless but i’m honestly glad we got compton. super underrated album
Machine girl phantom tracks, are good but is strong the wlfgrl energy
9:41 juicewrld- outsiders & art gallery project
I will never get over Yadhi not releasing over JIK lmao
Not something that a lot of creo fans know about but creo did have around 4-ish albums in the works from 2008-2015. Then first 3 did get a good amount of content of it online but the 4th album only got one officially released single back in 2015 which sucks because the song was really good to, the first 3 albums had demos on old soundcloud pages which were really good to but creo never finished them, the closest we have gotten to any creo album was the adrenaline demo ep which realy sucks because i would have loved to hear a full creo album. But thats not even close to the amount of other unreleased shit he has had recently with shit like tribute and melodicjam. He has so many good unreleased shit and I would love to hear them happen but other than the twitter leaks occasionally we dont get much from him. Im just thankful i got to hear 30 seconds of tribute haha
Balloonerism may be the best unreleased album in hip hop history
2:56 Lovely hunting bears reference 😌
Also like a stuntman and boomish were announcing that they recorded new material on their Facebook in 2015 and 2017 respectively then disappeared
