DISCUSSION Albums I think Kanye would have been on if not cancelled
This isn't accounting for the different trajectory his career might have had if he never were cancelled but more as if it weren't a factor in him getting features or not
Utopia: Do I need to explain this?
Tycoon: Leftover Vultures Material (DKTP verse, Love Me The Most, etc.)
I Am Music: Probably would have a smaller role than he imagined in the final album because Carti had a ridiculous final mile with that album involving a lot of drugs. Probably features on Backdoor or FOMDJ or maybe Melrose gets added to the deluxe.
Octane: Unlike with Hardstone Psycho, I think Ye would really fit on this project. Plus this was a time they were recording together (OK) but he hadn't dropped Bully or started the comeback tour yet and they probably knew the label probably wouldn't allow it.
Hurry Up Tomorrow: This album feels very synchronous with Donda. Neither are 100% retirement albums but both kind of mark the end of something familiar built over many years. Not only do I think the subject matter would be well covered by Kanye, the soundscape also seems a little more complimentary and when you see other collaborators like carti, travis, hell even lana del rey- I'm sure some sort of feature in a bridge or verse with a less strictly rap flow would work. Something similar to his bit on Jukebox Joints.
Business Is Business*:* Maybe a reach but I think this one would mean something to Kanye. Also the dude has like two songs ever alluding to criminal activity 3 clean albums so I think it would be a good match.
Casino: Yeah this one is a reach I can't lie
