Kanye's 1997 beat tape REMASTERED (Full Tape) 

THATS WHAT IM SAYING BRO

💀😂😂😂

Yeah killin this beat like I'm too godly in mk yeah yeah killing these killas like I'm iron man 🤓

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Lmao it be some shit like "I sit back smoke some green yeah life sucks but I'm fighting back" 😂😂it don't even be a rap, it's like a weird statement of being rejected

So far he hasn’t which is why he has a bright future.

@@LSniumUwU 🤡

@@jasoncarnevale2998 🤡🤡

His past present and future have already been bright. Dude is a genius.

@@jasoncarnevale2998 thought u were doing something

And I thank God for it.

​@@BankaiFeverwym this shit fire he could learn from his former self with some of the shit he put out this decade

@@GrimeyGut If he didn't take the superstar's route, Graduation wouldn't exist.

that's what i'm saying man kanye was WAY ahead of his time even back then!

@@prodbycolonel7452 take it easy dude. I understand your excited because you found some hard to find Kanye beats, with that being said, these are a one time listen, nothing more.

@@-MichaelMunoz- u sound like a hater lmao

@@-MichaelMunoz- I disagree, it’s refreshing, I’m listening again.

@@-MichaelMunoz- disagree heavily. These beats are timeless

Sounds like it especially on the second beat....that has a Kim/Mase/Junior Mafia vibe all over it

he said jay z told him he liked his chipmunk soul

Very heavily influenced by j dilla, he has even said this before, he idolized j dilla

He used to produce for Mase and the Harlem Boys so it made sense why this was his sound, especially since alot of tracks he produced were in New York

Wtf these are from the 90’s lol. Y’all weird asf sometimes

@@DEADPOTENTIAL yes I know, that’s what I’m saying. It’s got a futuristic touch to it that is hard to describe.

@@DEADPOTENTIAL I’m not even a ye head this just popped into my feed

@@DEADPOTENTIALWhenever someone imitates a past sound in the present day, they always approach it with their modern knowledge and experience. He's saying that, even though these were produced in the 90s, they have a kind of sound like someone reflecting back on the time from a modern perspective. It's just a comment on Ye being ahead of his time while also operating within the soundworld of his time.

yeah.. cus it was remastered

Thanks man!

Maybe because this isnt what it sounded like back then it's been remastered

@@Josh_J9 do you know what remastering means

🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Its sound nice but fresh is something else. This is very old school , which makes sense since it's from 1997.

I believe Kanye when he says he can see sounds.

Yeah, but he doesn't play any instruments, It's actually quite easy to arrange loops.

@@euroyen420p2 he’s well known for knowing how to play piano, it’s literally in the video’s photo.

@@euroyen420p2 I play instruments and listen to rap sometimes, but i've never really listened to yedolf, let alone this, but I listen to artists who have worked with him. he's a better producer than rapper, its not always easy to make loops like these. on the other hand, its not quite j dilla or madlib like some people make it out to be, imho

@@platinumsun101 not playing keys, but triggering preloaded samples.

hahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahaah hahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahaah

😂😂😂😂😂

I bet jew did

@@bustybobbuttertits3981 i cant wit this comments

Gustapo be kidding me🤦‍♂️

YALL GIVING HIM PRAISE BUT HE AINT USED A SINGLE ORIGINAL BEAT IN ANY OF HIS HITS... WHATS AMAZING IS 100% OF HIS HITS WERE SAMPLED FROM OTHER ARTISTS... YE IS A HACK AND WOULD NOT HAVE A CAREER IF HE USED HIS OWN BEATS... THATS A FACT....

Such a vibrator

@@HighhScore WHY YOU CRYIN BRO... YOU KNOW IM RIGHT...

@@HighhScore HIS FIRST HIT WAS A SAMPLE... HIS LAST HIT WAS A SAMPLE AND SO WAS EVERY THING IN BETWEEN....

@@HighhScore IF YALL THINK ABOUT....THIS SHTTT PROB AINT ANY BETTER THAN ANY OTHER BEAT MAKER OUT THERE...

I did nazi that coming

I miss the old Kanye, straight from the 'Go Kanye Chop up the soul Kanye, set on his goals Kanye I hate the new Kanye, the bad mood Kanye The always rude Kanye, spaz in the news Kanye I miss the sweet Kanye, chop up the beats Kanye I gotta to say at that time I'd like to meet Kanye See I invented Kanye, it wasn't any Kanyes And now I look and look around and there's so many Kanyes I used to love Kanye, I used to love Kanye I even had the pink polo, I thought I was Kanye What if Kanye made a song about Kanye Called "I Miss The Old Kanye, " man that would be so Kanye That's all it was Kanye, we still love Kanye And I love you like Kanye loves Kanye

@@IIIFrenchyIII 😂😂

@@IIIFrenchyIII c'mon yo 💀

@@mikhail5002 You forgot to mention who wrote that.

Don't forget Pete Rock, I hear Pete vibes in these tracks too.

This tape came out when Dilla was just starting

@@logankandel846 Kinda, but keep in mind, Dilla already made the Pharcyde, ATCQ, Erykah and Common joints as well as What Up Doe and the 97 Batch. You're right in a sense, but who really knows cause Dilla would send and play his stuff to other artists.

@@logankandel846 people in the game definitely knew dilla by 97, easily

@@logankandel846 noo no

exactly my point

yeah he knows how to stand out for sure

The best beat on here for me

It almost sounds like it's the keyboard synth bass

When he used a bunch of samples you used 10 years before you did 😅

You priase a dude for stealing somebody else's music! SMH!

@@feslerae He stole it!

@@r.b.6432 braindead

only on youtube it seems

He’s not mental he’s just fed up

Well said.

Don't be defending that nazi piece of shit. It's okay if you like his beats, but don't ever be defending him if you want make yourself look good.

Kanye is not mentally ill. He offended some folks and they took care of him. They placed a sane man on meds that made him mentally decapitated, but he still retain function.

Based pfp

you weren't the only one, that shit sucked

sounds like a mase puffy song 4 sure

It WAS used by Grav and Al Tariq (formerly Fash from the Beatnuts).

City to city

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GD3TMoQ6gBc.html piano sounded cleaner here

For me, it's the last one.

it's not that serious man

@@TheHeroChoncho for real you can like someone’s music and still disagree with them it’s no big deal

@@youngjuise6573 I know, but it's still hilarious lmao

@@TheHeroChoncho bro Ye is a nazi

@@BobbyBasketball19999what’s funny about it?

Not really he was inspired by dilla if you dont know who J-Dilla is you should check him out. Kanye said when he makes music he asks himself "Would Dilla like this?"

@@DaxSports1 dilla would fw these fashooo

Beat 7 is essentially a remake of a beat Pete rock did for AZ two years prior

most of it was removing that damn ringing frequency, the rest was just some EQ to fix the lost treble!

@@prodbycolonel7452 fair enough, I love this tape thanks for your work!

@@prodbycolonel7452 Meastro ♨️🔥

@@the_elevated_chef519 YES! This comment!! 👆👆👆

FFRRRRRR

Good Job Cooking 🥘 Soul

And Larry june😆

Ricky Rubio I love that one too.. it reminds me of a Alchemist production now

🔥🔥🔥

Got mine sitting in its flight case, I need to bust it out again

Trust me. That shit should be illegal.

Who is “Hollywood/media?” Say it

@@NickFoxYT All together... You think its just gonna be 1 person like in a movie?💀 celebrities, brands, politicians etc. People who have money. You've never held 100k in your life kid. You will never imagine the shit they can purchase with millions.

(((Hollywood))) and (((media)))

@@NickFoxYT JM

Best one out the pack

no prob man, had to be done

so let me tell you about those people who wear funny tiny hats sometimes...

that's one reason why Kanye is so cool. He doesn't care about about his reputation so much. He has no filter (and some mental illness) which makes him stay stupid stuff sometimes, but it's also the reason he makes such great music.

@@Rapidbeatsofficial we gotta stop dissing the nazis man

Ye a legend always will be you mad he speaks truth to power

@@chrisdornerrespecter8884 He doesn't speak truth to power, he speaks nonsense to rubes. This Black man just gave white supremacists a larger platform than they could ever ask for. You honestly believe the Neo-Nazis he is currently catering to are going to vote for a Black man to be president. They're going to throw him to the curb as soon as he runs out of money. He's a mentally ill narcissistic bigoted jester, and he's being used. The fans who are defending him are no better than the Yes Men he's surrounded himself with who have enabled him to mentally spiral out of control. Anybody who truly cares about this man should be trying to get him help.

why?

What does that even mean?

@@am5790 it was ahead of its time and with limited equipment

@@gowenlock9519 are you asking the same question on a different account?

@@justanotheryoutuber1997 no. How is it way ahead if its time? I see that stupid comment everywhere

Because that’s the mix. Mastering brings out the character; It doesn’t change the sound of it.

Hell no... Lol the 2000's sound is a lot more higher frequency. This is old school tape feel.

Preemo, j dilla, q tip, rza, havoc, diamond d, showbiz...Lotta these Kanye cuts wouldn't have made it..but he definitely evolved after he studied a lil bit.

these beats are still fucking wild, ye always had that touch

Lol all this shit sound like 90’s but you could tell he was dope cause some of these beats are dope for a up and comer

@@17thwboy you obviously don't know 90's hip hop scrne

LMAO

💀💀💀💀

Don’t you mean Death Con 3? 😂

😂😂😂😂

no prob man glad you liked it!

Yeah alright LeBron

glad you like it!

tiktok guy omg

WHAT EXACTLY ARE YALL PRAISING HIM FOR??? THIS AVG SHTTT THAT YALL KNOW HE AINT USED FOR NONE OF HIS HITS??? YALL GIVING HIM PRAISE BUT HE AINT USED A SINGLE ORIGINAL BEAT IN ANY OF HIS HITS... WHATS AMAZING IS 100% OF HIS HITS WERE SAMPLED FROM OTHER ARTISTS... YE IS A HACK AND WOULD NOT HAVE A CAREER IF HE USED HIS OWN BEATS... THATS A FACT....

@@VOLCAL It's when people that have nothing & take something & create something different to shock the world! At That Time ⏲️ That Man Kanye West Did That & He Was Competitive At It! Gotta give credit where credit is due! 💯 As far as Sampling I Believe A True Artist Will Use A Sample & Make Original Tracks As A Fan Of Music! A Sample Beat For A Producer Is Viewed As A Cover To Me! You Gotta Pay Respect To The Ones Before You! There's Nothing Wrong With Making Your Own Music! But When That Old Joint Comes On & Gives You Memories & You Wann Recreate That Vibe! Sample That Joint In Your Own Way! IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE RESOURCES TO RECREATE THE MUSIC ORIGINALLY IN YOUR OWN WAY!

@@XxStrattaGxX WTFFFFF???? YOU JUST MAKING EXCUSES....HOW MANY OF KANYES HITS WERE HIS ORIGINAL???? NONE....NONE.....

@@VOLCAL oh yea? name major producers don't sample? I used to think there were some that dont but they do

@@XxStrattaGxX 100% OF THEY HITS???? AINT NOBODY CALLING THEM GENIUSES....LIKE YALL CALL YE..

It sounds like flow forever by Rakim

Beat 6 is "What You Do To Me" by Infamous Syndicate ft Kanye West.

Sampling none of this was his smh.

@@nic8277 are you ret@rded? Do you not know how a majority of music is made lol

@@nic8277 If it's that easy then do it better.

you are basically saying how hitler wasn't that bad; because he had an interesting book. beats or no beats; kanye ruined his career.

lol if this shit didnt have Ye's name on it you would throw it in the bin. i think you've got a little over excited with the use of genius, man, kids expectations are pretty low these days🙄

u should. it makes him on of the most influential people and creative geniuses to ever live. sad to see whats been going on with him this month .

Facts

Tf

Audacity filter curve LMAO. I used FL's fruity EQ 2 to see what range of frequencies were making that sound, then just went into audacity and cut out just that frequency. Worked crazy well! The rest of the restoration was brightening the beats a little adding some treble and bass (again in audacity). Probably could have cleaned this up a bit more, but i'm just happy that its actually listenable, the original rip was terrible IMO.

That’s pretty disrespectful

@@reubenjutsum how? Lo Fi is dope…

This definitely isn’t Lofi. But I see where you’re coming from.

If I walked in the room and this was on, that’s exactly what I would think.

@@reubenjutsum No it's not. It's a real genre. Lo-fi is now called Bedroom Pop. Kanye was on a low budget when making the beats so Lo-Fi is fitting here.

yessir
