Every track sampled on Kanye West's soon-to-be No.1 album Yeezus has been released online in a mix-tape. Listen to, or download, the mix-tape below.
While official production credits haven't been released yet (there's no cover artwork after all); producers Gianni Lee and Mike Blud of Babylon Carter have put together a compilation of all the tracks Kanye has sampled on the album. The duo have done the same in the past for Kendrick Lamar and Drake.
The exhaustive list includes Nina Simone, Marilyn Manson, Snoop Dogg, and TNGHT. There is a wide spectrum of genres covered, and hearing them in their original form highlights their different portrayal in the album which makes Kanye's re-imagination of them impressive.
The album itself however has split opinion, some thinking it brilliant, and others finding it distasteful. We called it "an error of epic proportions."
Their mixtape is available for download, or can be streamed below.
Despite recently becoming a father, with his daughter being born on June 17th, his producer states that he will tour to promote the album. This will be his first tour since 2009.
