Apr 28, 2015 Writer, musician and gallery-owner Jensen Karp recently took to the web to share a particularly nostalgic article of Kanye memorabilia from 2001. During his stint as a signed artist at Interscope, Karp came into ownership of two Kanye West tapes containing the oldest Kanye beats ever released, according to Karp. Here’s what Karp had to say about the tape: “I was stumbling through my garage, searching through old storage bins, when I came across some old beat CDs from my days as a signed Interscope rapper. I was shocked to find that two of them, both given to me in ‘01, had the name Kanye West on them. These two CDs, which I believe are the oldest Kanye beats ever released. I think this collection of early Kanye beats shows you where he came from, even if it doesn’t necessarily sound like ‘Kanye’ now. He kept at it and became the incredible producer he is today. I remember he even had to leave the studio sessions early, so he could make the last train back to his mom’s house. He’s come a long way, and I’m proud to have been around, even if for just a second at the start.” I know it's old news, but lets revisit some great music!
