Kanye West 2001 Beat CD…!?

Apparently someone came across an old Kanye West beat CD that he got way back in 2001.  The first thing that stood out to me is how plain and inconsistent the mixes are.  A lot of the tracks really do sound like Kanye tracks,  just really unpolished and at times horrible Kanye tracks.   Congrats to track #14 for winning the worst beat I’ve ever heard from an established producer.

The OFFICIAL Rules Of Labeling Mp3′s!

New Beat Submissions Section…

Through the power of social media (basically twitter), a lot of artists have been reaching out to their fans and giving them opportunities to send music, beats or whatever.  Due to this, I’ve set up a new little section all the way on the right of this page.  I’ll be posting any and every free beat submission for any known artists out there.  So if for some reason you are locked up for 90 days and come back to the blog, the latest music submissions will still be there on the right for you to check out.    It’s a little skimpy on content right now, but I will build it up.  Remember that you can also click on “Submit Your Music For FREE!” on top of the box to see all of them at once.

If you would like to report any sort of new beat submission action going on, please let me know @ jim(at)beabetterproducer.com
