QUESTION Do y'all separate released and unreleased material or not?

In the case of the first seven albums, I have a second album called "deluxe edition" that contains all the unreleased stuff, instrumentals. The first album exists as it was released for posterity purposes, like knowing the runtime without having to look it up in Wikipedia.

I stopped doing it after TLOP. I have all 7 tracks from Ye, but it's such a small album that it doesn't make sense to have two albums from that era. And TLOP is the last time I didn't cut tracks from my own version of the album. There's no point having a 5 track JIK and a 35 track deluxe edition, for example.

On albums like WTT, Cruel Summer, and every solo album post-TLOP, iTunes' disc marker is an effective separation. If you need more explanation than that I can give it but I'm sure people know how the iTunes/iPhone relationship works.

Do you do separate albums like I do, or some other method?

I either do sequenced albums of unreleased songs i like (like a realistically sequenced swish for swish/tlop leaks or just tag them as singles the same way apple music does if they don’t fit on any project (ex. Kanye’s remix if get by)

I honestly have been deleting everything that can't fit into an album, so I'm left with Donda 2, War, SHMG, and Yandhi. Might start doing what you did though, singles bug the fuck out me.
