Oct 21, 2019After 13 years of roaming the internet, I have finally amassed enough unreleased music to make this list. Most of these, if you collect as much as I do have been heard before, but if not then you’ve found a gold mine thread.
My conditions for this list:
-NEVER eventually got an official release through a album, mixtape (has to be the artist’s own mixtape like what Game did for 3 years or the artist’s official DJ, like DJ Drama putting an unreleased T.I. song on his tapes/album), weekly release (No GOOD Fridays for ex.) or single release
-Has to be in original form. No mixing in with official version. Example: Taking Eminem’s Get Money verse and throwing it on 50’s final version, it has to be just that verse if that’s how it leaked.
-It can be the same song as the official release with a different beat that wasn’t used, as long as that beat was INTENDED to be used. A lot of 2Pac songs are good examples of this, but T.I.’s Memories Back Then is a somewhat recent example some may remember on here.
There is a chance I cannot get a listenable link for some songs. In which case you can ask me for them via PM. If YouTube quality is trash I’m not even gonna use the links. Also if it leaked within the last week it probably won’t make this list, I’m not paying attention as much to leaks nowadays.

We only on the highest of quality on this top 10...
9. 50 Cent - You Should Be Dead
Look at that view count for this video and try and tell me this wasn’t one of the most known and wanted leaked hip hop songs. Produced by Timbaland doing his absolute best Dr. Dre impersonation, this is CLASSIC 50 on his gangsta s--- in the most natural way. 50 bodies beats like this so easily. Not sure if it was going to end up on Curtis or Before I Self Destruct, the fact it didn’t get released at all was a huge mistake by 50. He could put out I Get It In & Get Up as a single at least but not this? Missed opportunity. If he put this out after Crack a Bottle that would’ve been epic... but no, Jimmy Iovine had all the answers. -

19. Bishop Lamont - No Stopping CarsonIf you know my posting past, I’m huge on Aftermath’s discography and a huge Bishop Lamont fan (we exist b------s!!!). Bishop Lamont’s “The Reformation” album as originally intended has here and there leaks like this song and Grow Up (he made it a single despite Dre not wanting him to), No Stoppin Carson fits the theme he was going for perfectly. From the beat to the lyrics you could tell Bishop was hungry and probably was already finished. Unfortunately all we ended up with was mixtapes (which were street albums that were really good) and sneaking some songs we weren’t supposed to hear. No Stoppin Carson was the first song I heard from him and besides a MySpace post he never released it. There are other songs out there that didn’t get put on anything like Friends and his song with John Mayer (it’s real) but none of it compares to this. Dr. Dre on gospelish sounding beats is always welcomed by me btw

I’m f---ing heated I was going to use Monsters In My Head but Game threw that on the candy Coronas mixtape. f---ing s---. Well there is one other Game song that’s worthy of this list...
20. The Game Feat. Dr. Dre & Nate Dogg - Where I’m From (OG Version)
Now I already know there’s gonna be some Game fan on here asking why I didn’t pick something like b--- Along, Nightmares, Murda, Gutter, Red Bandana, etc I could go on. But this is a travesty. Dr. Dre could’ve been on Game’s DEBUT album and this would’ve been the best song for him to hop on for a verse. I really don’t like how they used Snoop for just the Remix of West Side Story (it was the original) when he would’ve made a lot more sense on that than 50. But eh, final product for that still worked. When it comes to Where I’m From however, the record feels more... complete with Dre than without. Don’t know the logic behind this getting vaulted at all.JXY, Alpha, Michael Myers and 6 others like this.(This ad goes away when signing up) -

17. Snoop Dogg & Kurupt - Every Dog Has His Day
Oh you thought Death Row was gonna get no love? This ain’t the Source Awards
Kurupt was out of control with his verses on this with Snoop pretty much saying f--- his ongoing murder allegation at the time. One of the best Death Row unreleased records ever, with very few others I’ve heard on its caliber. s--- this is top 10 songs Kurupt has been apart of imo.JXY, Wreckless, Sav Stanfield and 5 others like this. -

I'm going to try to not go too slow with this list, but there is a lot to consider. With that said:
25. Kanye West & KiD CuDi - Can't Look In My EyesOh my god. Why wasn't this finished and put on Satellite Flight or Life of Pablo? This leaked after both albums were released, and yes Kanye's unfinished verse does bring this to worst on the list, but d---. This beat and KiD CuDi's finished verse that we'd hear on Too Bad I Have To Destroy You Now is so perfect on here, this can't be ignored. The Michael Jackson samples aren't overdone imo either. Shame they vaulted this.

Honorable Mentions:
Kanye West - OG Eyez Closed/Father Stretch My Hands w/Kendrick Verse
Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg -OG Zoom (REALLY wish somebody leaked CDQ)
Tech N9ne - Killer
Too many Game/Wayne/2Pac songs I’m not about to list because there’s like 20 contenders from each artist
Eminem -Emulate/OG Renegade/Trouble Soon w/D12/The Sauce
Snoop Dogg - f--- Death Row (I Will Survive) + anything on the Over The Counter Tape
50 Cent - They Burned Me, Sunday Morning, Warning You (that beat’s too much), all those songs on the BISD movieOrdinary Joel, n9ne, Guma and 4 others like this. -

6. Lil Wayne - Life Of Mr. Carter (That whole leakGod level Weezy F Baby. Carter V could've sold a million in one day off this s---. Did Birdman not let him put this on? Surely Wayne felt like this was better than 99% of the final product songs on the album we got last year, I bet he forgot he made this lol. Classic Weezy delivery, classic Weezy punchline game and the classic flow shines effortlessly on this beat that nobody else but him could body. Such a shame it didn't get officially released.tho)
So many f---ing choices from the CV leak I could've put at least 5 of them on here. Scottie Pippen, Holy, Better Get Em, Take It Slow & D'usse could've flooded this easy but it'd be so d--- Wayne based and the leak wasn't that long ago. I could do a top 50 unreleased Wayne thread and it would take forever because so much unreleased s--- is good by him. Top 5 had some real competition with this.Last edited: Nov 7, 2019 -

This is actually quickly becoming favourite thread on this site! Some of these songs I either didn't know existed or didn't know where "leaks". That 50 song is crazy it didn't see the light of day on any of his official releases. 20+ volumes of a Thisis50 mixtape run that doesn't include this??

18. Future - How It Feel
This was a hard choice to make, there is enough unreleased Future at my disposal to put out DS3. I really do think this is the best unreleased record Future has, because it’s a deceptive sad record that has that signature Future hype to it. Obviously about not having Ciara’s Goodies. Emotional Future got classics. I was putting high consideration into Same Accord, So Encouraged, Ransom and KAM w/Big Sean on here but How It Feel is just in another class.JXY, Fire Squad, Sav Stanfield and 4 others like this. -

23. Young Jeezy Feat. Lil Wayne - Scared MoneyThis is a sample of what to expect as far as Lil Wayne is concerned. Lil Wayne is the f---ing king of unreleased music. "I wish a MFer would, I chop lumber" so simple yet effective lmao. But in all serious Boi-1da provided a beat PERFECT for these 2 and we have Jeezy and Wayne both on their element and when Jeezy is in his ELEMENT he creates his best music which is why I enjoyed TM104 a lot. Do not know why this wasn't put on TM103 but it should've. Needs another Jeezy or Wayne verse and it'd go even higher.

50 Cent is one rapper from the early 00's I still listen to daily and I am now convinced he is the most underrated rapper of all time. I do not give a single f--- about somebody's technical ability when it comes to rapping but his beat selection, ability to make a SONG and the life gems he drops in each verse have him ranked for me only behind Tupac and Jay-Z.
He has had a better decade than Eminem and an overall much better discography than Eminem. I'm glad I was able to grow up to 50 Cent.Limassacre, Ordinary Joel, 831's Finest and 3 others like this.(This ad goes away when signing up) -

GJ @831's Finest—nice, fairly diverse list though a little old school heavy—but I don't blame you, the current era of leaks is absolutely insane to navigate. I also assume this list is simply personal taste (which makes the list line up a lot more from what I know about you as a poster/listener).

10. 2Pac - Wonder Why They Call U b---- OG (Feat. Faith Evans) (The greatest pettiest rap song of all time)
You can’t deny the godlike savageness of this. f--- a diss record, Pac f----- another rapper’s chick AND had her recording vocals for his own songs. The best part? This not only is a masterpiece as far as Pac verses are concerned (Great beat and sample choice too), the content and title could be taken as VERY descriptive of his own feature. Nobody in rap has ever had this happen. Imagine if 2Pac put this version on All Eyez On Me. Holy f---ing s--- that beef could’ve been even more crazy.

16. KiD CuDi - Goodbye
Easily one of his best songs ever, the rare pissed off KiD CuDi appears on Goodbye. Don’t know the original source but why this never got an official release confuses me to this day. I love the intro on this too, one of my favorite 2Pac quotes from the movie Juice.KPD, Sav Stanfield, Ordinary Joel and 3 others like this.
