    So after careful evaluation, my #1 pick without question despite incoming "HOW COME YOU PUT THAT OVER THIS U STUPID b----" or "WHY DID THIS NEVER MAKE IT" posts, followed up by me ruining your internet life is.......please take it personal....

    1. Kendrick Lamer - I Hate You (Letter To Death)


    Easily Kendrick's best song in his career, yet never released. Could be a top 10 Rap song ever written. I'm dead serious. This is Stan level, this is The Message level, this is So Many Tears/Pain/Dear Mama level quality. The concept is genius with Kendrick telling death to stay away from the people he cares about in a letter only for Death to remind him he should be thankful he hasn't come for Kendrick yet when he could've at anytime. That first verse has to be relatable to everyone on the planet and that second verse is too real.

    Religious or not, this record should've been mastered and released properly, this sounds like Section 80 or just after Section 80 Kendrick (waiting for somebody to correct me). There are plenty artists who rap about death, but not quite to death in this fashion. Interestingly, my #2 was going to be 2Pac's Reincarnation but I changed my mind last second. That would've been poetic justice, but I also thought it'd ultimately look too corny at the same time.

    *I have a link for all songs prepared, PM me if you want it

    4. AZ, NaS & Kool G Rap - Livin Thug


    I’m bringing it real back on this. The AZ/NaS combo plus Kool G Rap? Oh this s--- flawless:emoji_copyright: Get all the way the f--- outta here with that top 50 bs when 80% of them couldn’t make a song anywhere near as good as this lyrical masterpiece.​

    5. Busta Rhymes & Notorious B.I.G. - The Ugliest


    It’s finally time to bust this one out - a VERY rare unheard Biggie verse appearance with J Dilla on the beat. It took Biggie ONE TAKE to get that verse right. Song was meant for Busta Rhymes’ album The Coming in 1996 but for stupid reasons didn’t happen. But this is a classic that never was, at least somebody had the brains to release it finally. I still want to believe there’s more we haven’t heard

    7. Warren G Feat. Nate Dogg - Regulate (Original)


    This was a real b---- to find for myself and my quality is not better than this video. I check around once in a while to see if a CDQ leaked but nope no luck. Despite the quality issue, Def Jam was being foolish to not let this out with the version we all know and already love. I always felt this had an explicit version and when this finally leaked I was surprised to see the cusses didn't ruin this. Some minor added ab-libs by Nate as well as slight lyrical changes, but overall, this is the one leak with such little changes that I feel NEEDS it's own release in proper quality. While the Regulate we've heard forever is legendary, some lyrics meant to make Def Jam happy seemed... forced.

    8. OutKast - Lookin 4 Ya


    Ok labeling this Big Boi Feat. Andre 300 when this leaked was major fuckery but this uploader didn’t even put Andre’s name on the title. Dumbfuck. Oh well, at least the full leak is on this video in good quality. Dubbed the “Jedi Mix” of Lookin 4 Ya, we get 2 André 3000 verses instead of 1 with their signature sound and favorite hook singer, Sleepy Brown. The origin of this record is Jive f---ing sucks and wouldn’t allow this on Big Boi’s debut, which is why 3 stacks only produced You Ain’t No DJ w/Yelawolf. This is an extremely rare leak because you had an original leak and then an “official” Remix leak. How the f--- does that work? Lmao

    Before we get into the top 10, here are some very dishonorable mentions, if you are the leaker of these records you should be ashamed of yourself. Fans of these artists were nailed to a cross in forums everywhere when these dropped and the idea that their discography had nothing bad in it was forever destroyed. Whoever leaked these records enjoys seeing the musical world burn.

    50 Cent - I’m On It


    Imagine one of your favorite artists is on a streak with amazing mixtapes and singles for an upcoming album that sounds promising. Then a piece of s--- like this leaks. Indefensible /movedtotrash. Sorry 50, not even you could get away with this fuckery.

    Diddy’s s-----y LOX diss... I mean REALLY s-----y

    Who wrote this? Shyne? 50 just to troll? This whole reason this exists is stupid and Diddy doing disses of all people? LMAO /movestotrash.

    Kanye West’s random demos/unfinished material filled with odd vocals, mixes or ear destroying beats (or all three combined)


    Most of these have not impressed me and if they were finished probably still wouldn’t. These weren’t meant to be heard but the fact they can be and theres so many is infuriating. Kanye’s recording process is a migraine, guy saves half finished verses and goes back to them days or months later. Very odd and as we can all see, unsafe. His artists including Pusha T have tried to salvage these leaks (see Touch It) and they all still sound like s---. Please Kanye West associated artists stop trying to make something of these demoes. It’s not working guys.

    Shyne - Any song that’s out there by him since his return (Listen if you want to go deaf)


    Shame on Def Jam for giving this man a deal thinking they’d get 2000 Shyne without giving his new voice a listen. Any time this guy had a verse on a song I’d skip the verse or delete the whole d--- song. Thankfully not even his Carter IV feature was able to save his career, but to anyone who put out post prison Shyne music out, you should work in an interrogation room. MFers would rather tell the truth than hear this man spit a verse on anything /movedtotrashandfuckingemptied

    11. Eminem Feat. Jazmine Sullivan - Cocaine


    Now I have a problem with a lot of unreleased Eminem. Unlike most artists I have on here, most of his unreleased records that we’ve heard are average or f---ing s--- which has honestly been a huge letdown over the years. Cocaine is the exception to the rule (and about 5 others... out of 20 something). “Oh but 831, they were joke records, he was on drugs” yeah yeah SHUDDAFUCCUP.

    Cocaine sounds like an earlier concept version of Beautiful Pain vibe wise (this is better than that song) and was made during Recovery sessions, yet this calmer flow was never really heard on Recovery besides Space Bound and Going Through Changes and even then this sounds just as good if not better than Recovery’s best tracks. The only other Eminem songs I had in consideration were Emulate, Trouble Soon and the OG Renegade. Cocaine, due to its content and execution (and Jazmines amazing voice) however puts it on top of the current unreleased Em material.

    13. Busta Rhymes - Your Time Has Come

    IT'S MINE!!! ALL MINE HAHAHAHAHAHAH oh s--- the internet doesn't have the whole song anymore :kanye:
    /End post. Lmao. Well this is funny. "Your Time Has Come" is a re-imagining or sequel to Legend Of The Fall-Offs, which ironically took the beat and hook of an unreleased Rakim song After U Die. I actually might like this more than Legend Of The Fall-Offs. Hmm....the only link in existence is tagged and sounds like s---. Oh well, guess nobody will ever hear it :kobe:

    You think I'm on some bs when I say Tech N9ne made my list? Lol... if you only knew this one... if only Crooked I knew better...

    14. Crooked I & Tech N9ne - Blammers & Burners


    So Crooked I thought his verse, originally intended for another song, was so good it would sound on par with Tech N9ne on a speed rap record.... um no . This ultimately went NOWHERE and Tech's verse was heard again on the Bad Season tape: https://www.strangemusicinc.com/2011/01/tech-n9ne/blammers-and-burners-song/


    But this sounds like a lyrical slaughter and Crooked's verse is actually great. When Tech is not being gimmicky and just straight spitting he's not to be challenged... at least if you don't want to look like a rookie. This was leaked on Sway first??? This one's a mystery and apparently a big argument in comment sections.

    21. Lil Wayne - RappaPomPom (Feat. Junior Reid)


    Originally recorded in 2006 (Like Father Like Son era Wayne), this song samples a Junior Reid classic of the same name (with RappaPom spelled RappaPam). The wordplay on this is :emoji_radioactive:. StreetRunners leaked it at some point in 2010, but this is another one of those why wasn’t on the album songs from Wayne’s vault? It’s sickening to me.

    22. Dr. Dre - Topless (Feat NaS)

    https://audiomack.com/song/chadkiser502/topless?t=14
    Couldn’t find a YouTube link for this version so this will do. Sometime 2 years another version of Topless appeared, which originally leaked in 2009, pissed Dr. Dre the f--- off and blessed us with a heavenly beat and a godly NaS verse (I can appreciate the hook too). I think Sly and Slim The Mobster worked on the hook. T.I. did a ghost verse which was one of the first times I ever heard anything like that, Crack a Bottle had a leak like that too. UNFORTUNATELY we got a finished Crack a Bottle and a never finished Topless. The Dr. Dre version I put up I think is the best version only because it’s in his own voice and while T.I. did a great verse, I have a terrible time hearing it with Dr. Dre’s voice. And Eminem’s attempt was good but the flow was meh. Had this song ever got finished though, it would’ve been a classic. Too bad. Btw this is the ONLY Detox leak you’re gonna see from me. Popped Off was on a GOAT T.I. tape so that won’t count and I don’t have a full Die Hard. Miss me with that Zoidberg sounding s--- on Mr. Prescription, though that could’ve been fixed if Dre wasn’t too d--- stubborn.
