Earlier this week an unfinished song from Ye’s album leaked on the internet. As usual, most sites (including us) grabbed it and ran with it. Once Kanye got wind of the leak he asked for it to be taken down. Realizing the mistake, 2dbz (and the majority of the NMC) complied without question. All seemed to blow over, until tonight… when another unfinished track leaked (seriously?). Kanye wasn’t so generous this time. And as you can see by the Twitter update above, he decided to cancel G.O.O.D. Friday (thankfully/hopefully for this week only).
This post wasn’t meant to wash our hands of any wrong doing. We fucked up by posting the song for the short period of time we did. But the blame is still thrown in the direction of the folks deciding to purchase unauthorized leaks, slap some tags on it and throw them to the e-wolves. This battle will forever continue as long as hackers folks think they are doing something beneficial for the culture. Who am I kidding? They don’t give a shit, they just want their bank account to rise. And things like this always put our site (and others alike) in a tough position. We post because we have to stay ahead of the curve so that we stay relevant. Which in turn gives us the opportunity to give up and coming artists more shine, help more established artists promote their albums, entertain the likes of y’all during the day, etc.
Is there a solution or any common ground to be found? I honestly don’t know. Of course you will have the people that say “well, bitch ass Shake and Meka should just stop posting the leaks”. True. But once a leak hits the internet, it’s too late to pull it back. Who is to say what will really hurt an artist and what won’t. And who is to say what exact leaks should be ignored and what should be posted? If we didn’t post anything, we wouldn’t even be having this discussion. There would be no websites for y’all to visit. There would be no place for y’all to get music early/on time. No place to discuss what’s came out. Nothing. During the years of doing this I’ve seen leaks work both ways with artists. I’ve seen songs hit the net without knowledge and it’s skyrocketed the stardom of the owner. And on the flip side, I’ve seen it crush them (be it emotionally or statistically). The fact is records leak. They have for YEARS now. And as the last few years have proven… they’re gonna happen more frequent as time progresses. And while the internet continues to grow as a strong force in advertising and record sales we’ll always be left with this same argument. To leak or not to leak?
To our defense, we don’t post full albums. Hell, we even make a conscious effort to limit the amount of songs off one album to be posted on the site in general. And while that doesn’t directly relate to this Kanye situation as only a few songs leaked. It still stands for debate. I’ve always believed that if a fan was planning on buying an album, he/she would do it anyways… regardless of a leak or not. But what do I know, I’m just a “blogger” that most of y’all hate haha. But I do ask y’all… where do we go from here? Let the discussion begin.
love u shake
They don’t give a shit, they just want their bank account to rise.
Not fair for you to say that. You should be saying “we just want our bank accounts to rise”
Sure, one leak isn’t a direct relation to your bank account, but you say it yourself, staying ahead of the curve is important, and that’s the reason that you make money from this.
Anyways, I don’t care if 2db posts it or not, I think it’d be dumb not to post the latest leaks. You’re a blog and if the internet has it, it’s too late. So keep doing what you’ve gotta do. Of course, respect is how you’re gonna rise, too, but I don’t blame you or Meka.
Fuck all of the politics of it, it’s ALL about the money.
And fuck the artists if they say that it isn’t.
I personally ignored the song because it was wack as hell so my hands are clean but I’m hoping this is only a one week cancellation not a total end to the promotion but i guess we have to wait till next Friday to see.
i respect ya’ll for bein real & it’s a cold game out in these e-streets. respect to yeezy & his music free or not.
good post shake keep doing your thing I think you guys obviously make a conscious effort to respect the artist
Also, Lost In The World is meh, and All Of The Lights I’ll reserve judgment on.
And when I said all about the money, I meant any commercial or trying to become commercial artists.
He’s an idiot for letting other people have access to his songs.
NOOOOOOOO!
that being said I dont think u should post such an unfinished non listen-able song
AHHH MAN I DONT EVEN WANNA PUT FIRST CUS I WONT GET IT LMAO
AND THIS IS SOME FUCKED UP SHIT.
NO GOOD FRIDAYS.
I MEAN THE SONGS WERE DOPE
BUT HES GIVING US FREE SHIT EVERY WEEK
AND THEY STILL WUNNA LEAK HIS ALBUM ISSSHHH
DAM EFFED UP MAN.
What song leaked tonight??
does anyone have links to the songs?
they any good? (good quality)
I respect this site for what they do… I really just think people should be more careful about their stuff like really though
@Mr Bimbo
All Of The Lights Leaked
And Lost In The World Yesterday.
And The Rest Of The Album, Tomorrow Lmao
j.k
meh..while G.O.O.D. Friday was cool…I have to say..the Charlie Wilson features were starting to be a little much…Love you Kanye!!
I’m all for authorized leaks, but leaking unfinished album material is fucking retarded.
“I’m all for authorized leaks, but leaking unfinished album material is fucking retarded.”
there’s times when we don’t even know it’s unfinished. the song can sound complete, but the artist may have it in their mind that they want to completely rework it.
Fuck a Hacker. There enough music out there to listen to without havin to hack a mofokas email and take unfinished songs. Tryin to make a buck get a job my guy.
But if anything steal some shit thats worth it.
Steal me some iphone5 plans
Hack me some extra episodes of the chappelle show
Can a nigga get some more naked pics of rhianna and other smashworthy divas?
Shit’s sad son. Smh.
The situation with kanye is different in many respectts, the guy is giving us free music every week, so he has the right to not do give us that free music anymore. I dont blame anyone for complaining about leaks when there songs leak unfinished/months is advance.
Leaks really killed Lupe’s album sales for food & liquor and in the end he was forced to push back and revise his album. If bloggers and hackers have music it really takes a lot of will not to leak these records.
A few leaks are fine but when the leaks get to the point of ruining/leaking an entire CD they have to be stopped. Its a fine line to walk and in all honesty i think the people who buy and leak these records are just people looking for a few minutes of fam/attention.
All in all if i was kanye i would cancel GOOD fridays for this week too. He tries to do something pretty cool for “fans” and those same people leak and hack his unfinished tracks. It sucks for him but i cant say that i have not benefited and listened to many unfinished and leaked tracks. In end the responsinility lies with the bloggers and listeners to determine what is right and take a stand to not listen/not post or listen/post these tracks
He’s an idiot for letting other people have access to his songs.

lovee shakeee
I hate piracy but you’re right that sites cannot be blamed for leaks. People who leak are responsible for that.
Not to sound like a hater, but how are millionaires like Kanye and Dr Dre allowing their shit to be leaked. You can buy security with enough money, how is it the music industry hasn’t figured this out yet?
I’m not trying to blame the artist, but hey attention every musician from this point forward, we live in a world of digital media piracy. Expect piracy and proactively guard against it. Your music studios should be OFFLINE.
welcome to 2010, if you really don’t have tech experts, then hire them.
Damn better luck next week I hope…also hope this doesn’t happen to Lloyd Bank$ so he wouldn’t to have a cancel a Blue Friday.
@Shake and Meka
Keep doing y’all thing,2dopeboyz stay popping.
love shakee
All that’s need to be said, is you get what you give. Only thing is they should consult with the blogger to release what songs. Shake For President.
i have 2 songss .leak or not leak?
Fuck NOTQUITEMILLIONAIRES.COM
Real talk. Fuck them. <32Dope
what is the other song that leaked? if you guys don’t mind me asking.
and in Kanye’s case…he definitely has every reason to feel angry. The man has given us free song after free song. Why would anyone want to listen to unfinished songs in the first place. It makes no sense. It’s like having an Xbox but no Madden. What’s the point? I can understand someone leaking out a finished song from the album. That makes sense. There is a demand for it. But this recent sensation with getting an unfinished song (ie I’m So Appalled back in Jan. ) and tagging it is ridiculous.
Also if you’re gonna blame 2dopeboyz and blogs for leaking shit then you better turn that finger around and blame yourself. Blogs can be a way for artists to gain exposure and feedback. The fans have fueled this shit just as much as the internet. If the song that leaked was in fact finished…everyone would downloading it without hesitation.
But at the end of the day, the last album I actually bought was Mos Def – The Ecstatic haha. But hey…I go to a lot of concerts haha.
Records leak.. you can’t stop them, and once they’re out, then you might as well post them, right? Why not… BUT what about records that are clearly unfinished? THESE records are the ones that should be left alone, and just because other sites posted them, doesn’t mean “eh I might as well throw it up too”.
I’m pretty sure that artists are more frustrated over unfinished stuff leaking vs stuff leaking in general.
all the lights leeaked unfinished
It’s off that one zip that leaked months ago. I guess somebody finally cracked a couple of passwords.
Still, how fuckin’ hard can it be to keep your shit secure? Don’t let anybody outside of whoever’s on the album have access to it.
He Talking about hackers doin it it might be someone in ya camp doing it too
I Needah Go To Sleep
Got Skool Tomorrow Lol
No one got skool.? or work.?
can someone throw up a link for “All Of The Lights” if they have it. i just wanna listen to it. Thanks.
“I’m all for authorized leaks, but leaking unfinished album material is fucking retarded.”
there’s times when we don’t even know it’s unfinished. the song can sound complete, but the artist may have it in their mind that they want to completely rework it.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I hear ya, and Im not saying there’s anything you can do about it, I just think it’s stupid to leak shit that clearly sounds unmastered/mixed.
Oh and I agree with Drico. Kanye’s case is kinda different from the normal leak. The dude has been giving his fans free music every week for the past month or so, and it’s not like he’s some up and comer trying to build buzz for his debut, we’re talking an established artist that has a dedicated fan base of at least 200,000 that would probably go out and buy his album if it dropped with zero promotion. The dude is giving away songs that are album quality for most rappers every week, and people are still leaking his album material.
Dammmn, was so dissapointed bout the leak. I’m not gonna say that I haven’t listened to the songs, but I honestly don’t have any respect for the hacker. Kanye’s putting G.O.O.D. work into these songs for free and spreading them like G.O.O.D. STD’s and shit. It’s about the money, I unfortunately understand, but really man? Really gotta leak the album? Smh
Alley Oop Video > This Whole Discussion. Well written Piece Shake.And Shouts To G.o.o.d though.
Why is hiphopdx still streaming lost in the world?
I’m seriously sad, what the fuck.
All of the Lights goes hard…but I feel like a dick for listening. It’s just so fucking strange that people feel the need to leak this shit.
And for you fucking retards saying Kanye is stupid for “allowing access to his songs”…the fuck you talkin’ bout? You think Kanye just be in a booth by himself and runnin’ the boards and doin all the other shit?
Artists put feelers out for their songs so they know what’s hittin and what’s not. Sometimes it gets in the wrong hands.
2 dope boi ..u got a point here
I like Lost In The World actually. All of the new songs sound like some variation of old Kanye cds & Lost in the World sounds like an updated 808′s & Heartbreak track. That & So Apalled are the best.
In case people haven’t noticed none of the G.O.O.D. Friday songs weren’t from Kanye’s album and they weren’t throw away tracks or mixtape freestyles or remixes. The majority of them were being recorded specifically for internet release. So between August and December 25th Kanye would have not only delivered his highly anticipated 5th studio album but also enough tracks for a whole 6th album ALL FOR FREE and still nigga’s have the nerve to buy leaked tracks for there blogs. Have some respect for a dude that’s really been putting in work as of late.
noooooo
wasnt Nas supposed to be on the next GOOD friday?
i kno Lost In The World leaked,whats da second one dat leaked tonite?
@shake
that’s some real talk right there big homie i’m sad to see this be the result, but like you said hopefully it’s only for this week
Artists need to do that shit like “Kazaam” and keep the master copy in a shiny metal briefcase. Just hope no bastard friendless son steals it from the warehouse. SMH.
dats real fukked up.
id be mad too if someone leaked my shit.
after all, hes givin us free music every week.
“Why is hiphopdx still streaming lost in the world?”
Because they lack scruples.
He needs to keep his shit off line & on a USB drive they have heavy duty 64GB Waterproof BulletProof, Shockproof (iam not joking about bulletproof) with software that u can’t hack it’s like
700 bucks look it up ye needs one lol 75
The leaker is probably…..a Taylor Swift fan. We must leak Taylor Swift’s album!!! One song at a time!!! Jk, jk. But seriously.
@candlesticks
^^^ REAL MUFUCKIN TALK NIGA. like smh.
damnit, G.O.O.D. Fridays have been better than most Tuesdays.
I download Curren$y’s album, then paid for it the next week at fye
8)
I feel like we just got put on detention… with the dunce cap on.
Nice write up too Shake.
hmm maybe it’s just me but Kanye seems like a huge pussy about this situation. Shit leaks all the time for every fucking artist, get over it and deal with it.
Super co-sign @candlesticks

damn this hurts kanye… well man i guess ill actually buy the album since i like what i heard so far hopefully no more leaks till it hits the factory which is inevitable and sucks for artists
We’ve got 4 engineers mixing the album to finish it as soon as possible less than 5 seconds ago via web
How much money is there to actually be made in unauthorized leaks? That’s ridiculous..
Oh well, kanye needs to stop bitching about leaks and take the wayne route, if it leaks, have other shit… or OR, don’t give your shit to other people, keep it all close cased ya know. It’s a highly electronic world we live in, so to complain of your own faults then you need to look at yourself in the mirror.
Keep your stuff in check
ALL of the lights is my favorite of the 2… shits gonna be a real banger when the album drops
hmm maybe it’s just me but Kanye seems like a huge pussy about this situation. Shit leaks all the time for every fucking artist, get over it and deal with it.

^^^^^
Ditto
i honestly truely feel bad for this guy tho he’s tried really hard this time and wasn’t even finished with his shit and people out here bangin his shit
considering kanye is an incredibly public figure and incredibly public about his music releases (and also releases his music personally on his site), and as aware as some of these bloggers are about all things hip-hop, it’s hard to believe a blog wouldn’t know an authorized Kanye track from an unauthorized one. Or at least have a suspicion. But as a content-provider, a blog wants to be the first to be attached to something, for many reasons that do/don’t include monetary gain. If a blog were to wait say…1 day…for the smoke to clear on questionable content, wouldn’t they be playing by the rules more than just posting and saying…Well, he did it so I did it, too. Not to say it’s what this is, but that strategy’s never really worked too well in a court of law or anything. Would waiting a day or two really hurt your relevancy that much? Would it truly hurt the pockets? There are blogs that play fair out there. Just playing devil’s advocate.
The only good song I heard from kanye recently was power. Don’t want ur shit to be like pilot talk though or 24 hour karate school.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!
I already miss G.O.O.D. Fridays!!!!
@Realist & @PositiveMarley
You have to sympathize with him a little bit. This man has been putting out free music that’s not even gonna be on the album every friday. And his tweets show that he’s putting damn hard work into them.
crooked I put out new music every week and doesn’t bitch about leaks. that’s the game now and days. your music will leak no matter what. so either be the only one with access to it or dont take a year to record your album. either way the leaks won’t stop. and this isn’t kanye hate because he’s cool aside from using autotune. this is just it. you can’t expect everybody to respect you. haters have access to the leaks too and they’ll post it regardless.
YES SHIT does leak… however since when is the ONLY version of a good friday song out tagged up with youraudiofix.com dude talking over the track and then ALL of the lights was only 2 verses…
WHEN RECOVERY leaked we already had word from eminem that it was finished, a set release date ( which i believe was pushed up ) and it was a COMPLETE album
here we have 2 tracks 1 with dj and both apparently unfinished.. this is not your average leak
Shake, most of the songs that get leaked onto the internet actually are leaked by people who work at the studios, not “hackers”. People always want to blame hackers but rappers need to start looking at the people around them. My cousin works at a very well known studio in NYC and some of the people there get easy access to A LOT of music. They just turn around and sell it to blog sites for some extra money. Another thing is rappers need to realize that people in their circle are selling off their music for money also. I am not attacking you either Shake I know you are just using the word “hackers” because Kanye did. I would bet everything I own that it’s either a studio engineer or somebody Kanye knows personally leaking his music for money.
this leaked track’s beat is somethin’ serious…I wouldn’t be too ashamed of this “unfinished” version
WHO GIVES A FUCK?
tgrady u talkin about all of the lights or lost in the world cuz that all of the lights shit was mean as a mothafucka
where can i listen to “all of the lights”???? someone please send me a link…..
wow… just takes one to ruin it for everyone.
fuck…
he been giving us free music so i think his anger is justified. im just glad the good fridays aren’t completly cancelled just this week.dark twisted fantasy is gonna sell huge.i had feeling this whole ordeal would happen which is y i grabbed both leaks real fast before they were taken down. and all these blogs new damn well this wasnt supposed to be posted so quit bullshittin’
Lol @Shake kissin ass. STFU no one in the music industry realllly cares what you have to say. With that said Shake > The blogosphere > Meka
@GR
I sympathize with him a little bit but you gotta know how to keep your stuff together until like that friday before your album drops on a tuesday LOL, you know how that is though.
I understand you been working hard for someone to just leak your shit out there really just pisses you off but man… keep it all in a close circle, people you can trust
he should just forgive and forget. i mean he can apologize to taylor swift..
plus, can’t blame it on the fans.
Stop writing essays. Shake, we dont believe you.
you need to take a writing class shake
well if he doesn’t want anyone to hear it, keep his music on a USB that’s only in his possession. simple as that, dude needs to quit bitching. i respect his grind… but like I said, it happens to EVERY SINGLE artist.
Either way, both songs are straight GARBAGE.. The beats are fuckin trash and as a Kanye Stan I’m fuckin pissed off that this trash is gonna be on the album.. I mean WTF is goin on in Ye’s head?? He can’t be serious.. I let the 808′s & Heartbreaks shit slide cuz he wanted to experiment but this shit here is inexcusable..
I’m an Audio Engineer major but I can say this with 100% confidence that ALL THE MIXING and MASTERING and EDITING in the world can’t fix the shit he’s puttin out (EXCEPT FOR THE GOOD FRIDAY TRACKS… THOSE GO HARD)…
DAMN ALL OF THE LIGHTS
is..
FUCKIN RIDICULOUS!!!!
First verse lyrics:
ALL OF THE LIGHTS
(ALL OF THE LIGHTS ALL OF THE LIGHTS) sample
(ALL OF THE LIGHTS ALL OF THE LIGHTS)
SOMETHIN WRONG, I HOLD MY HEAD
MJ GONE, THAT NIGGA DEAD
I SLAP MY GIRL, SHE CALL THE FEDS
I DID THAT TIME, AND SPENT THAT BREAD
IM HEADED HOME, IM ALMOST THERE
IM ON MY WAY, HEADED UP STAIRS
TO MY SUPRISE, A NIGGA REPLACIN ME
I HAD TO TAKE HIM TO THAT GHETTO UNIVERSITY
THE LIGHTS
COP LIGHTS FLASH LIGHTS SPOT LIGHTS STROBE LIGHTS STREET LIGHTS
(ALL OF THE LIGHTS ALL OF THE LIGHTS)
FAST LIFE DRUG LIFE THUG LIFE ROC LIFE STRIPPER LIGHTS
(ALL OF THE LIGHTS)
“you need to take a writing class shake”
i’m not trying to get an A on a class paper. just putting my thoughts down on a blog post. thanks for the concern though.
Eventually, with all CD’s.. these albums have to be delivered from a MASTER ( Gold ) Recording ( usually by an entourage or the artist themselve )
Then they are pressed at the factory as fast as possible and shipped to stores to be put on shelves. These factory employees steal copies and upload them, it’s that easy. It can even be ripped to a computer and put back if they are good enough and no one notices a thing. It’s that easy.
This process starts usually 2 weeks before the album comes out so that’s why the 2 week-1 week-release date leak order always happens on full
how is any kanye fan not feelin “all of the lights”
the horns are fuckin crazy
WHERE THE FUCK CAN I LISTEN TO “ALL OF THE LIGHTS”??????? FUUUUCKKKKKKKK
Can’t ‘Ye just pull a Steve Jobs (when the iPhone 4 prototype got sold) and back trace who sold it to YAF and just nab the leaker that way? So we can get the possible Nas GOOD Friday feature…. in a perfect world at least? smh
Ye put us on a time out haha.
real shit tho respect to shake, mek & of course Ye.
Dude gives us free music and someone fucks it all up smh….
Kanye West – Good Friday , drop it asap on a friday
ill be at best buy or whatever to grab it
The only good thing that might come from this is that Kanye will release his album way earlier than he intended to. Even on Twitter he tweeted saying that his album totally done and has 4 engineers mixing his album right now. I would take getting his actual album sooner over those overrated G.O.O.D Friday leaks anyday. Maybe this could be a great thing, rather than a bad thing.
Kiss Kanye’s fruity ass and Lupe’s veggie ass. Shake tell me how there ass taste.
Speaking of Lupe his album is turning into Detox 2.0
G.O.O.D Fridays were for us fans who enjoy good music. Kanye is trying to make the best music possible. Which every Friday the track is. Do i feel we should blame the blog for taking away G.O.O.d? no. We as hip hop fans need to start supporting more. Go out an BUY an Album Dont fucking download the damn leak albums. Tagged Leaks are no good anyway sometimes. Some People try to get Famous off that shit with drop all over it. Now if It has drops on it and the Person is Getting it from the Artist or label then its a different story. I get a lot of records that i could leak. Do i no because the artist is sending the records to see what i may think of them. Are there time where i am like fuck i want the world to hear this track most of the time but out of respect. I dont. All i am trying to say is dont download leaked albums. It taking food off someones plate and really hurting music. Because label lose money which in turns hurts new artist trying to get in the game that are super dope because no time to help craft an artist. Also know your source of where the music is coming from. i never comment on blogs but shake much respect for posting this.
lost in the world is good shit tho.. but sucks someone got a hold of his stuff.. artists need to be waay more careful
LOL SORRY I can’t take a essay about leaked music seriously from a blogger who has hissy-fits on twitter then decides to “boycott” his favorite rapper’s music as a act of retaliation (none of this fuckery wouldve happened if the blogger didn’t leak his favorite rapper’s music in the 1st place)
We as hip-hop fans blah blah blah blah blah blah, wasted 10 mins of your life.
“hmm maybe it’s just me but Kanye seems like a huge pussy about this situation. Shit leaks all the time for every fucking artist, get over it and deal with it.”
PositiveMarley said this on September 30th, 2010 at 1:20 am
Who the fuck are you to judge him over his own fucking music. He’s the artist. He has the right to not have his shit released until he fucking wants it to. What would the world be like if somebody copied the Mona Lisa real quick and the newspaper printed a sketch the next morning. If he doesn’t want you to hear it until it’s on his album, that’s his prerogative. Don’t like it? Make some music for your damn self. There are artists that thrive off leaks to generate hype for albums, and it’s likely the finished version is not much different. But being a Kanye listener since pre college dropout days, I can say his music actually changes from the leak to the final product. That being said, the last album I actually bought was College Dropout, so maybe i’m just as bad as the hackers….
P.S. G.O.O.D. Fridays is a fucking beast marketing strategy…building hype by releasing good ass songs that aren’t gonna be on the album before the actual album comes out??? Genius
I think this whole leaking thing is the reason we got Homecoming feat Chris Martin instead of Home feat. John Legend….
it’s a shame
– lol can we blame youraudiofix for this lol… and btw jus like the leak of LUPE FIASCO GO TO SLEEP and that other lupe while back that leak , they know it actually brings them more promotion, the wilder the story the more promotion, the only people that leak stuff is the company itself, lost notebook of lyrics? someone jacked it from ur house? someone hacked into ur puter…yea people in the industry already kno 99 percent of leaked stuff is from the artist themselves, so calm down , no one is going to miss a autotune kayne song..without the net he would be like 8ball mjg…best believe that

all of the lights? i just wanna know where i can listen to it………………………………………………………………………..
^^ You can’t, it’s gone my dude lol
“there’s times when we don’t even know it’s unfinished. the song can sound complete, but the artist may have it in their mind that they want to completely rework it.”
Fuck that. You probably knew Kanye’s track was unfinished and I think Eskay even alluded to it. I see what you’re getting but it seems like an excuse quite frankly.
Wow, Shake is hurt that Kanye is angry at bloggers so he writes an apology letter.
You know, this might sound crazy, but I was kinda thinkin we should just stop reading blogs and start listening to music again.
Shake, do you have any idea if “I’m Better Than You” will be released with a No DJ version? If you don’t know maybe you can ask around since you know some people? Thanks
its never gonna stop. and why the fuck are we getting penalized a good friday song? its someone in his camp with the songs and shit.. he better give us 2 next week!
and All of The Lights is fucking dope btw!
man most of them songs weren’t all that 6 mins long.. the swizz beats features.. the charlie wilson features.. most of them songs are no longer in rotation..
okay kanye west might have gotten more hype off the internet and leaks, BUT
i cannot name 1 rapper/producer that can do what he does
and that is why i listen
okay… well what about EVERY OTHER artist you guys leak without permission songs with tags from other sites and shit…. im not saying it’s wrong because that’s how the internet is these days, but dont’ go soft on em just take down what’s asked and tell them to fuck off… 2dopeboyz is promoting these fucking artists… ive listened to a bunch of shit i never would have including good friday tracks because of this site, i will buy kanyes album because of this site
DAMN THIS WHY I LOVE DOPEBOYZ
u get the best discussion on the net, and insider scoops, this is the number 1 blog on the net BECUZ they maintain relationships with the big names, get the leaks first, and keep us informed, shake treats dopeboyz like its his kid, were in his house, atleast respect his effort and work , arists have big egos sometimes, but aleast we have a home to talk and get latest news.
THX DOPEBOYZ THX SHAKE FOR ALL THE WORK!! 2dopeboyz for ever
Kanye is the biggest ASSHOLE alive but he is a musical genius. He is also a very strange dude but most very creative people are.
how come everyone got to listen to all of the lights but me? just not fair man. smmh. been up for 20 hours, time to get some sleep.
The newly leaked song is called “All of the Nights” (not the snippet leaked before) , but i will not post it here.
triplea20x… you may or may not know that this isn’t the 1500′s, it’s 2010, also known as the digital age. Artists tracks are leaked daily, that’s the reality. Most artists deal with it and move on, as there is NOTHING that can be done about it unless you keep it to yourself(thumbdrive, portable harddrive, your own computer). SO, like I said… he needs to stop bitching and just keep it moving cause whining and fretting over it will do absolutely nothing. But please, go off again on me like you’re Kanye’s boyfriend you sensitive ass nigga.
i’m laughing at the folks that act like kanye doing something special by releasing one free song a week. clearly his marketing team is working on y’all. that ain’t fresh!
i don’t feel bad for duke. a) he’s rich. b)this can be controlled *therefore you’re a victim of your own habits
lmao at what @justin bieber^^^ said
very true lol
Fuck all themmm! Bloggers are the shit!
I wish 1 time one of these very wealthy rappers (Hov) would release a whole album for free and just say here this is for the 10+ years of supporting me. I mean Hov is worth what 600-700 million according to Forbes so in some ways he is robbing me by asking me to pay 10-14 dollars for his album after I have already given him hundreds throughout his career. Just some for food for thought.
yeah i mean it’s true this dude is filthy rich to most peoples standards so you can’t feel any real sympathy for the man, but what u can do is go buy a real copy once in awhile… even if u keep it sealed like a collector and download the leak to put on your ipod i would say that’s an acceptable form of compensation
“i’m laughing at the folks that act like kanye doing something special by releasing one free song a week. clearly his marketing team is working on y’all. that ain’t fresh! ”
i don’t think it’s so much “oh he’s leaking random shit weekly”. as everyone leaks shit these days. it’s the star power he has with each record. who he has on the songs, etc. the line up’s he works to get and helps produce records for the hell of it. this is saying that none of the songs will be on his album, which i dont think will.
Y’all buy albums of established artists?
shake + meka, you guys are still the dopest and i think you should still continue what you do. honestly, without you, people will stay generic. and if that means leaking some unfinished material or getting hate letters, I’d say it’s worth it. dont matter shits gon get leaked anyways
my take on this is that we all know better, this site, every site…..the “peer pressure”, “its out there so i might as well post it” attitude is at its essence a cop out….this artist has entered into an unstated, (now very much stated) agreement with fans, blogs, the public ; i’ll give u free music of my choosing, and in return please refrain from consuming unauthorized material…..i think this is the balance that many have waited for for quite sometime – a major artist saying i will participate in the free share movement, and on the back end, u at least allow me to present my finished product as i’d like to….no one is obligated to post anything, and just as simply as u posted the songs, u could make a post that says “we would post the song but thats wack” and in this copycat world, alot of other blogs would follow suit…..it seems hypocritical to pass the buck in this instance and say hey we’re just doing what anybody else would do, when say, a few years ago everyone was in a big huff about Charles Hamilton breaking the code of ethics…..then everyone wanted to play high and mighty…..no one stops to think that aside from sales, maybe there are uncleared samples in the song, and like has happened many times in the past, the song might become a huge hit, but the artist is now screwed out of a large chunk of the royalties he/she may have received had the deal been negotiated prior to a leak….im not foolish enough to believe that one blog not posting a song will bring an end to leaks as a whole, but this site, and a few others hold a lot of weight, and have established in many cases, direct lines to artists…..you in some ways taking a stand and saying yes u can get that kind of content, but u cant get it here, and doing it BEFORE u r requested to take the content down would probably go a long way to setting a code of internet ethics (i.e. not posting whole albums)……ur not always gonna get it right, and no one should expect u to, but ur individual voice and ur individual actions DO really matter, if they didnt, this blog, and blogs period would serve no purpose….so as a fan and an artist i definitely appreciate the fact that u even thought to start this discussion……and adding to that, how much better does music feel when a major artist takes this approach, giving free super collaborative music while we wait to hear a completely unrelated project? Its great when indie artists do it, but its been awesome to see someone at Kanye’s level just drop music for the sake of and have something to look forward to
I have never said anything negative about Shake or his site because I love it and visit it everyday, but get the fuck outta here with this post. I can’t imagine you feeling bad, or that you “realized a mistake”, you should have already learned your lesson about posting material leaked from an album with this whole Lupe non sense. You KNOW every time you post something from someones album that they aren’t going to like it, especially if the album doesn’t even have a release date on it. To me, it is one thing posting a track or 2 off an album that is coming in a week or 2 to try to promote the album, but to post a leak that clearly has no intention of being out soon isn’t helping an artist AT ALL. Yeezy is feeding us with free tracks, is posting leaked stuff from his album really going to bring you more visitors?
Make this site different from everyone else, set the example. Take a stand and pride yourself and your site and try to be the only place around that isn’t going to leak your music months before it ever drops.
If it is a leak off a mixtape, post it up, that shit is free anyway. If it is a unreleased song that never got around, post that shit up they arent going to make money anyway. But if an artist is trying to make a album, and trying to finish it, don’t post their shit, respect them and the genre that I assume you loves.
And really Shake, how many songs can you name that have leaked and helped an artist blow up? Like really… A leak will RARELY help an artist get over, you know right from wrong shake/mekka. Step into an artist shoes when your about to post a leak and try to figure out if you really think it is a good idea to post it.
Ugh… don’t know why I typed so fucking much out, I doubt much will be taken from it anyway :/
marketing 101
i heard the» Kanye West – All Of The Lights
yall are over hypin it so much ..this page will get 300 mark by morning..
Great post Dre.:.Old Money
As I can only speak from a “fans” perspective, maybe I don’t think this movement was all that special because I find most of the cuts to be subpar, especially Kanye’s MCing. I liked his A&Ring. Hearing Jay-Z rhyme and Nicki rip the tracks were nice but beyond that and his unfinished Devil track I wasn’t feeling this movement. A lot of smoke blown but little heat felt.
Duke’s on his hustle so while I respect his attempts at connecting to his fan base, I don’t pretend to ignore that he’s catering to his currency measures. He’s got love for his music but is as capitalist as they come. He just dresses his entire image with swag.
In my own opinion, as a fan, I appreciate leaks sometimes because it gives me a taste of what’s to come. Regardless of the song quality, amount of songs leaked, etc. I am still going to purchase Kanye’s album. He has always had quality music and he is obviously an amazing performer, artist, and icon. But if you put yourself in his shoes, the amount of work and time that goes into these songs that he is making for us (the fans), it’s unfortunate that we hear them before they are completely finished. He wants us to hear them the way he envisions us to and when we don’t, I think it disappoints him as an artist.
Kanye is passionate about his music and I think in the perfect musical world, it would be impossible for leaks to even exist and we all would just buy music on the day it was released. But let’s be honest, that’s never going to happen. The music industry has changed and things like this are just going to happen.
^^^ you’ve got balls lol.
^^ LOL @ you posting a link to what started this whole thing and then saying “don’t ban me please”. hahaha
haha… well shit there it is!!! by the way only 1 person has really been hyping this shit the whole time and that’s me with a milli posts kanye do a millie!!!!!
@1dopeboy
…lol..and the link is gone…
and just admit… that shit was like WOOOOOHHH ( cept for that skip in the beginning LMAO ) shits so unfinished but still fire Just put some of that crazy art some real dark shit on the cover and self title this one
i think your album title should be: Kanye West with some devil horns on the W
anyways, y’all should stop tripping and go bump some other dope music that’s out like that nottz and black milk track which easily is better than most these good friday cuts
Damn Shake your quick as shit! What do you have some kind alarm when somebody post a link or something? hahaha
actually on second thought the song is actually catchy , sorry for posting the link u can find it on google on the 1st page when u look up the title …
thx dopeboyz!
boooooooooooooooooo
IAMTHATDUDE… how many Kanye posters do you have in your room?
wonder how many people and shake are refreshing this page tonite…100..200…
kanyes mad…………
Shake fast as shit. Knew it wouldnt last a minute.
shake kept it real tho…&so did eskay
Shake is shivering in his boots as we speak. He “thinks” Kanye is mad at this blog. Nigga please. There are 2424249 hip-hop blogs and just because someone posts a link doesnt mean you have to remove it. You part of Kanyes camp? No so stop catching hissy fits Shake
@PositiveMarley I don’t know if he has Kanye posters, but I bet he has a Kanye screensaver on his computer. lol
lol just use google the shit not hard to find
i honestly only liked the first cd… im just high as fuck and thought about really jump startin this one… all of the lights is a banger tho… not really a kanye fan didn’t care that much for the good friday tracks… so to answer 0 posters but i guess its safe to say congrats on calling me out as the fake kanye dick rider i’m done posting on this 1
Lost in the World is gonna be dope when it’s mastered. They beat needs to be slowed down though.
release a song normally = 1000 downloaders
//
claim its a leak and u cant download it or we will kill u
= 100,000 downloads thru google
/
wheres the banks track?
also runaway love with vocal samples>> anything kanyes put out recently.
Shake could just be kissing ass or trying not to look bad as everyone has been saying…OR he could just be a good person?
its really messed up that ppl leak unfinished shit. especially when it sounds shitty theres no point. but at the same time millionaires should have some security on their stuff so hackers and what not cant just cruise thru their material and sell it. but in the case of G.O.O.D. Friday it seems like ppl lowkey are “biting the hand that feeds them free shit”
jus listened to the All of the lights – kayne track the full one not the snippet, it sounds good , i like it .
lol @hackers…hackers= someone in this nigga camp lol
@dj drama ..exactly …u tink if he jus posted it here ..it would get 60 comments at the most…by the morning this will have 400 comments, and tens of thousands of them dling the leak thru google
I don’t listen to leaks from dudes like Kanye cuz this man is a artist and you gotta listen to the entire album to get the feel. Damn what the fuck though I was looking forward to GOOD Friday…
Shake, u cool with me, good perspective and keep up the work
Shake, I am really happy for you but Nahright is the best hiphop blog of all time. Dont kiss my ass.
^

kanye secretely leaked both of his potential singles tonight as a good friday present to read the feedback given to him and find out which song will make the better single… and obviously its all of the lights keep the fire beats and rappin no autotune
i dont care about the hackers or kayne himself…all of the lights is pure HEAT . pure art … something ur kids and there kids are going to listen too…and im sure kayne is on here watching the most active discussion on the net …ur seeing a masterpiece in work..
PURE HOTNESS
ALL OF THE LIGHTS = HIT TRACK

yeah this is on some beatles shit thank u
damn i love this site and google
..and rlslog.

All of the lights is Too real. He got Cudi and Yo boi soulja in the studio. CAN YOU SAY HOOKS FOR DAYS???
kayne west ft. eminem ,black milk, elzhi , crooked i
i will faint
who thinks Cudi should be on this hook?
Leaks will live forever and its nothing that can be done about it.
How many minutes is the full “All Of The Lights” track?
lol you guys are kanye wests bitches. real recognize real and shake and meka lookin like strangers.
” real recognize real and shake and meka lookin like strangers.”
hahah that sounds like a rap song diss
my blog doesnt post unfinished shit
Kanye is a dumbass. LMAO. It was somebody of his folks that leaked the song. No one believes that one “evil hacker” hacked into his computer/email account and stole his unfinished songs. Man, how dumb is he? He should kept his songs for his own.
The Roots HIGO album, the B.o.B album leaked like 2-3 days before the official release date. And there’s Kanye. When is his album comin out? November? You see, it’s possible not to leak any of your songs until a few days before it gets out. Kanye is a dumbass.
1) immposible for hackers to hack in the exact day this was on a computer
2) it will be on there studio servers , unless he was monitoring the computer/net work for weeks and got this today , which is highly immpossible to not be detected by professional network dudes
3) everyone knows he leaked it himself to see true feedback
4) the beat and lyrics are top notch
5) easily one of his best tracks
6) ALL OF THE LIGHTS – SONG OF THE YEAR
i musta smoked 10 bowls by now and listened to this track 50 times
why do people care about his shit? he’s not really that tight. he actually likes fish dicks.
the beat and flow is stunning
Co-sign XfreehueyX
Man, I was looking forward to G.O.O.D. Friday! And if the rumors of NaS being on this weeks installment were true that’s even more disappointing. People always gotta fuck shit up for the rest of us man.
‘All of the Lights” fucking sucks. What the fuck are yall listening to? Simple ass rhymes over a beat that sounds like some soundclick shit, and you say it’s the song of the year?? SMFH
maybe yall listenin to the snippet or the youtube thing , i got the 4 mb thing 3 min, and the beat is really crazy like the power track , its hot , cant wait for the mastered version , kayne killin 2010
well, now yall can wait for da next week.
Gud Skunc dot com didn’t bother to post it…We only blog what’s real hip hop. Not a million dollar artist starving for attention, he’s eating already give these new artist a shot (NOT SAYING 2DBZ DONT DO THIS ALREADY). Blogs are quick to post all that main stream iish + Kanye’s trying to make his way back to the hip hop culture, he’s gone POP and he could stay that way for all I care..
the bloggers lose once again
fuk a blog
lol, this is actually bad for Ye himself. Haters will keep leaking his stuff and Ye will keep crying about it and cancel G.O.O.D(not that good) Fridays.
seriously,why the hell is everyone so selfish? We’ve waited this long for another Kanye album and some no life hacker had to mess it up for all of us. Don’t get ms wrong, I love the Internet but here, not so much…
The leak came from in his own house. Now the little pussy wants to blame the blogs.
Glad I’m not a fan.
it is what it is. Do your thing.
the leak didn’t come from in house. saying that from my personal knowledge.
I told Shake not to leak them Kanye songs. Should of listen to me, homeboy. Don’t worry Shake, I don’t think Kanye will get his boys to ruff you up like Lupe did.
ALBUMS SOUND BEST IN THEIR ENTIRETY.
cosign @backwardsargument hack something useful like the iphone plans/chappelle show/nude pics of hott ass divas hahahaaa
im buyin ye’s album whether the whole shit leak tmrw or not…i was gonna buy this album since it was announced like 3 years ago
#team(2)dopeboyz
Good job, fellas.
Lupe’s Been telling people this. I give you free music, and you ( Not any particular “you”) still play me?
kanyes a faggot regardless.
I’m lookin on the bright side here: if its just for this week, and if the Deuces remix comes out as planned then that can count. I kinda thought it would anyway, lol
You Guys Are Punks.. You Always Do This Just To Suck Up To The Artist So That You Get More Free Music. And Its Outrageous How You Go Into The Whole “Oh We Took It Down ASAP” When In Reality You Are Just AS WRONG AS EVERYONE ELSE That Posted The Leak. I Think This Should Be A Lesson To You Guys That Maybe You Should Start Thinking About Posting Free Music Before You Post It.
AND YALL DO POST FULL ALBUMS.. ON THE REAL YALL PROBABLY HACKED KANYE’s SHIT SO YOU GUYS COULD MAKE YOUR OWN BANK ACCOUNTS RISE.. SMFH.. YALL MAKE NIGGAS PAY FOR POSTS ANYWAY EXCEPT TO ALL THE ARTISTS THAT U DICK RIDE.. LIKE JD ERA, CURREN$Y, WIZ KHALIFA.. ON THE REAL YALL NEED TO STOP..
AND MATTER FACT LUPE FIASCO DROPPED LIKE 4 NEW JOINTS IN THE PAST LIKE 4 MONTHS AND YOU GUYS HAVENT POSTED SH*T..
Agree with Shake. True fans will buy the album or music regardless if it leaks.
B< its business who cares about real fans if u can have a way to make mroe ppl pay for ur product then ur gonna do that. and theres a differentce between enjoying the music a great deal and being a real fan
This Sux in a major way…Oh Well maybe its for the best…RIP G.O.O.D FRIDAYS
who gives a fck…the finsihed version of the unfinished version will leak TOO!!! DEAL WITH IT!!! even tho i didnt dwnld it i hav no remorse lol ppl like kanye are gettin more rich…am i suppose 2 feel bad?
everything will leak, you can’t hide it. so, motherfuck the leakers. all you suckers who grab everything from the internet because you can’t wait – its your fault. I never downloaded a whole album, you know?
fuck bitchmade west.
i appreciate your explanation. i think this was handled in a good, positive way on the 2dbz end. i would venture to say a lot was learned from the lupe situation and glad [hoping] this doesnt end with that same resolution.
sorry to kanye. i hope he understands it isnt a personal attack, just the way the world sometimes works, and it can be painful. at least you guys arent trying to stab him, and are offering an sincere apology and reparation. g.o.o.d fridays is something ppl who still use napster look forward to.
who else saw this coming?

^ THIS!!!
I think (and I’m probably beating a dead horse) if you’re a good enough artist people will buy and continue to buy the art that you put out. There are kids out there that don’t know how to get pirated shit that are buying albums, I mean how do you think Recovery sold so much? It was a decent album that was leaked early yet it still did good on sales. Same with TML.
The thing with Kanye is, is that he was putting shit out for free every Fri-Saturday, yet someone leaked some of his shit, It would piss me off also. But I only listen to music, I don’t make it, so I can’t fully appreciate the hard work and dedication put into it.
Just because Kanye is the one crying everybody’s all up in arms. Who cares. It’s the life that we live in.
THIS IS WHY WE CANT HAVE NICE THINGS
wow… kanye punishing us by not letting us listen to his music… good thing I literally have over 1000s of other artists music to choose from to hold me over until next friday….
Why is it that when Kanye complains, you get super apologetic, but when Lupe complains, you guys completely kick him off of your site?
Yeah I’m a fan and a supporter of music I download an album either because I can’t wait for it to come out or because I wanna see if it’s worth buying or not. But if I like it alot, i’m heading to best buy soon as I’m financially able. More people should do it if they really wanna support their favorite artists
why the rant because of some swackhammer-ass-nigga e-fishing??? no need to explain cause some low bangger copped and moved. yes, it’s messed up. i agree if you a true fan u’d cop the full album/single with actually green. he was dropping real track every friday…e-fishers are lame for their plight. to those who e-fish: don’t do it and say it’s exclusive. shit is wack. u wouldn’t work for free, artists don’t either. to the bloggers: do ya damn thang, it’s because of you most of us stay informed which in turn, you stay relevant.

tight and shit like this wont happen…dont get me wrong the shit is fucked up but come on dude what are we in high school?!?
gonna cancel somthin cuz of one person leaked a track shit like this happens to 1000s of artiest dude..thats that cry baby shit
right there people talk about..come on ye lighten up mane…. here is a tissue.
Kanye Really gon be mad cuz All Of The Lights leaked 2day
damn, i don’t blame Kanye, i’d be pissed as fuck too. I don’t mind waiting for the music. why the fuck are we leaking music that’s not even done? do we really want to hear artists not at their best?
Can somebosy please explain to me how s hacker can hack your computer knowing that it’s your actual email?
dis nigga kanye says something about the devil in everyone of these new songs he drops. Hes asking for it
@Can somebosy please explain to me how s hacker can hack your computer knowing that it’s your actual email?
Anyways meant to say its all too easy – you make a connection to the internet – you can and will get hacked ..end of story, agree with others prime reason why to stay offline and hire professionals to handle your security.
Mr. West is putting the internet on punishment. That’s too bad. hulkshare.com/io84ptkboazk
The good thing about this is just maybe Kanye will either completely redo the first leak or just get rid of it completely because it was just god awful
lol @ tris nigga.
well, hopefully he can take this weekend and figure out how to lock swizz beats lame ass out of the godamn studio
Was there an apology for Lu? (Granted if it was a similar situation)
souljaboy kanye and cudi in the lab fuckin fuck thats depressing
why would he apologize to Lupe? Lupe physically threatened him for no reason at a concert.
LOOKS LIKE KANYE NEEDS TO HOOK UP WITH SNOOP FOR HACK IS WHACK LOL
I’m one of the biggest Ye fans out there, and can apprecaite him at least standing on his principles and telling the unmolested truth:
*”Hackers” suck.
*Blogs need to chill out and use discretion when thinking about what and what not to post. When over the past two months or so has West released a half finished record? His ego is too high to let go of some shit that he thinks isn’t ready (Even if that shit already sounds dope).
As a hope-for-the-sliver-lining type nigga maybe Ye will just release those tracks on Friday and call it even, lock the vault and say “Fuck ya’ll, see you Nov. 16!”
Or it’s just the Illuminati trying to create controversy, so we’ll buy the album and end up fucked up?
Props to the Dopeboyz for owning up and sparking a discussion. It’s brave and laudable. But the excuse that you have to post unfinished (ie: sub-par material) because everyone else does it falls flat.
You post enough dope shit to remain “relevant” and popular. I come here because I can come across that dope new Pigeon John, watch an ill Immortal Technique interview, download a CDQ version of Kanye’s Power remix and stumble upon some undiscovered talent. I damn sure wouldn’t stop because you don’t have some unfinished Kanye track that WorldStarr posted. I can’t be alone in this.
The truth is, the Dopeboyz could stand up for quality. Be the one site that proclaims, “nah, we don’t post unfinished tracks.” We have standards. I’d come just for that.

Some of you people have the right idea actually, as a industry insider i can confirm that unfinished tracks are usually leaked from the inside of there camp, when songs are going thru major changes and the finished product will be something different one or even Kayne himself of that camp leaks the “unfinished’ work to see feed back or let the mass have a copy of the ‘demo” version, this is done with songs in any genre, but they say its the demo or rough copy but some people say hackers or leak to increase promotion, when the retail street date comes up they leak tracks thats are lower quality or clean versions to keep the promotion going till the retail date. The more u know..
=========================
Aside, from all that i thought ‘all of the lights” track was 3 minutes of real hardcore hip hop easily one of the best he ever produced. I want to see the finished product, amazing sound beat and flow.Hes really going all out 2010.
fuck all this shit. i dont give a fuck if every god damn kenny west album leaks forever. that nigga dont need no more money. FUCK EM.
I see a lot of good points mixed up with of points that don’t make sense. I don’t download a lot of songs. i listen and keep it moving. Because I make my own. and I don’t listen or download leaked albums at all, because of my respect for fellow artist. Let’s be real, do people really buy the albums after it leaks? NO. Albums sales are still going down. do you honestly think leaked tracks and albums are making this situation better. the numbers and sales say opposite. Believing that humans will buy something that they already have for free is like believing that a MAN will buy a Strap-on designed buy his favorite porno star. sure its gonnna be some that buy it, but not as many. and most artist are not the ones leaking their stuff. there are hackers, tagger groups, engineers, critics, etc leaking artist material. Even if it is the artist leaking it, why play this gimmick game with them? this is crushing the chances for a lot of upcoming artist. why should people download this underground artist mixtape, when they can get this industry Album for free, because some one leaked it. Kanye has supposedly spent 3 mil on this album already, do you think he is leaking his own songs, when he has been giving away songs for free? every time a hip-hop album fails it makes it ten times harder for the next underground artist to make it. and notice, Linkin park’s albums didn’t leak. neither did Susan Boyole’s she sold 770,000 her first week if I’m not mistaken, neither did Coldplay’s album which sold 737,000 units in the first week, of course the industry execs are going to say , leaks are boosting album sales. it gives “Us” reason to make reasons/excuses when “we” post… they are giving us the fire to kill one of the most powerful weapons we have against ignorance and BS. a form of music called Hip-Hop, and we are taking it and running with it because it is Free? MUCH RESPECT to 2dopeboyz for addressing this issue. It would be even dope if you guys started a movement, by not supporting this fuckery and game of leaking albums,. and hopefully the next blog will catch on. Imagine how many artist would fuck with yall exclusively because you didn’t leak their shit. and Im sure yall can contest if underground post get less attention when you post leaked material from mainstream artists. Fuck the gimmicks, lets let the game rely on GOOD MUSIC> and see how things pan out..that’s if you are a fan of “true hip-hop”
Bah… get a godamn firwall… or lock yo shit up when u leave it. How u get hacked and get mad at the fans. whatever tho.
Shut all your b!tching up ..he dropped one ANYWAY …Christian Dior Denim Flow ..feat ..Pusha T, Ryan Leslie, Kid Cudi, Kanye, John Legend ..
if you receive an e-mail with a supposed leak, you should make sure whether or not the artist wants it leaked before you post it. and if you make a mistake, then just take it off as soon as possible, as you did. simple as that.
A month late, but Agent Gibbs, kill yo’self.
Hi friend – really appreciate you taking the time to post this – it is always greater to see someone actually do it instead than just reading it!
