Kanye Leak Pending?!: Screengrab of Good Ass Job tracklisting hits ‘Net
Posted by Mikey Fresh under Headcrack , Not Good For Hip Hop , Photos , Ugh[71] Comments
Mikey: For some reason, I felt very uncomfortable reading over this track list. It felt very… wrong? Weird feelings aside, check out a tentative tracklist for Kanye’s forthcoming album Good Ass Job after the jump.
Missinfo: Damn, the internets are a mofo. that is all….No, wait, that is not all. Ok, so this screengrab of Kanye’s album tracklisting surfaces. This means that someone has managed to hack into presumably Hype Williams’ network. That means that the entire album may be in their hands as well.
Mark my words, if the entire Kanye West album leaks months early, not via an email hack, but a private network hack….I think this will be a watershed moment for music piracy and online security.
What’s crazy is that while this is going on, and while I’m sure his team is working to find fixes, an insider tells me that Kanye is actually with Birdman visiting Lil Wayne over at Riker’s Island. Right now. The “Power” artwork is very appropriate for how ‘Ye will feel : (
You can analyze the tracklisting screengrab after the jump….
1. Hell Of A Life
2. Dark Fantasy
3. Power
4. Chain Heavy
5. Ghetto University
6. That’s My Bitch
7. Runaway
8. Lost In The World
9. Gorgeous
10. Monster
11. Holding Me Back
12. Devil In A New Dress
13. The Joy
14. So Appalled
15. Blame Game
16. Sweat On My Face

Damn, I hope this doesn’t leak out this early. It’ll be “Food and Liquor” all over again.
July 8th, 2010 at 6:14 pm
Can that person just leak this shit already lol
July 8th, 2010 at 6:16 pm
I actually hope it does not. Its not mixed. There are plenty of ppl who worked on the album that are not Kanye and need to get paid. And Kanye deserves to have the album in the form that he feels satisfied before we judge it. Even though I have heard that its amazing already.
July 8th, 2010 at 6:19 pm
My bad, I was speaking just as a fan of his music, and was eagerly awaiting to hear it lol. I’ll admit I’m anticipating a leak, as are many others, but believe me, once the album comes out I’ll definitely cop it. I did the same for Recovery.
July 8th, 2010 at 6:22 pm
to the hacker “NO ONE MAN SHOULD HAVE ALL THAT POWER” 😉
July 8th, 2010 at 6:37 pm
No disrespect to Miss Info but I hope this isnt true .. smh
July 8th, 2010 at 6:41 pm
I just wanna hear Free Mason. If Kanye leaks, we’ll never hear the end of it. Don’t get me wrong though I’d like to hear just one song leak off the album, not the whole thing.
July 8th, 2010 at 6:44 pm
that taylor swift karma is coming full circle right about now..
July 8th, 2010 at 6:55 pm
I. Love. Leaks!!! Best thing in Hip Hop since learning how to dub over an official audio cassette tape.
July 8th, 2010 at 7:13 pm
man why oh why… really hope this is someone making shit up cos ive been looking forward to the REAL album not sum leaked shit since 2009
INTERNET IS A CORRUPT PLACE
ruined my summer
July 8th, 2010 at 7:14 pm
………and why does Hype Williams have the album???
July 8th, 2010 at 7:16 pm
Hope it does leak, i need some NEW MUSIC since nothing else is leaking!!!
July 8th, 2010 at 7:26 pm
Lupe, hol up. I like u n imma let u finish. But im about to have the biggest leak of all time.
July 8th, 2010 at 7:35 pm
I hope it doesnt leak… and if it does well then…maybe the bloggers shouldnt post it? u know just to help out Ye’? idk either way leak or no leak Ima hold out until the album is actually out.
Love the site Miss Info!
July 8th, 2010 at 7:38 pm
bet u disney had something to do with this , and much more should it leak…
July 8th, 2010 at 7:42 pm
Its inevitable this is gonna leak before release but hoping it isn’t this soon… its likely not done and it will keep some other folks from getting paid (as Info said).
Plus, I dunno, it would be nice to see another album be an event at retail ala the TML and Recovery and a leak like this would, as Cali Sun suggested, cause Food and Liquor like harm to its sales. Even if it were awesome.
July 8th, 2010 at 7:43 pm
What language is that?
Not the track names, but look at the other open windows, the open folders and windows and the desktop?
Some more international espionage…?
July 8th, 2010 at 7:46 pm
I was wondering the same thing and if I was reading the story right.
#teamKanye all the same
July 8th, 2010 at 7:49 pm
really?
wowzers!
July 8th, 2010 at 7:52 pm
Probably because he’s good friends with Ye and he always directs at least 2 videos from every Kanye album.
July 8th, 2010 at 7:58 pm
^dead*
July 8th, 2010 at 8:00 pm
^dead again*
i actually found some cassettes a few days ago. i should stuff the holes with paper OR tape over them, and record the powermix on the radio just for nostalgia’s sake.
July 8th, 2010 at 8:04 pm
to see if he wants to direct a video to any of the songs on the album maybe?
seems as he’s one of the biggest and best music video producers around, Ye probably sent him this unfinished version to see if Hype liked any of the songs and wanted to do a video for it, my guess.
July 8th, 2010 at 8:05 pm
^ i dont get it??? How can it “ruin your summer???” just CHOOSE not to download it or listen to it? lmao.
with that being said….
This is the VERY FIRST time ive actually felt bad about a leak (if this is all true). I guess it’s a combination how much i respect kanye as an artist combined with thinking that whole taylor swift bulls**t was completely blown out of proportion and he deserves better than this, combined with the anticipation surrounding his big return to “real” hiphop after all of his drama and after 808’s, combined with this s**t just being so damn early, that has it bothering me.
all of that being said….lol.
OF COURSE IM GOING TO LISTEN TO KANYE MUSIC AS SOON AS ITS AVAILABLE, WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!?!?! LMAO.
that being said….
OF COURSE im still gonna cop the album when it drops. Kanye is one of only a handful of people still worth paying for in this world of free s**t.
July 8th, 2010 at 8:07 pm
die slow^
July 8th, 2010 at 8:41 pm
i think u got the wrong album….
July 8th, 2010 at 9:18 pm
i soooo hope this is not fucking true.
July 8th, 2010 at 9:18 pm
Looks like someone is using linux… a euro hacker?
July 8th, 2010 at 9:24 pm
I never understood why people get excited about track list, especially if they don’t show producers or features. But on another note supposed his album & Kid Cudi dropping the same day. That’s going to be dope.
July 8th, 2010 at 9:28 pm
And Prince said the internet was dead. lol
July 8th, 2010 at 9:29 pm
Power leaked…
July 8th, 2010 at 9:33 pm
i’ll buy two copies then.
ha.
for real though.
July 8th, 2010 at 9:40 pm
with technology comes disaster
guess he will make it a mixtape and start over dam suks for him great for us need some new music
July 8th, 2010 at 9:45 pm
i Agree cuz everyones albums got bush back to september and november
July 8th, 2010 at 10:07 pm
this guy….Mike Dean…..producer….yea….he SAID….on his….uhhh…twitter…..that other than Power and Monster….the rest of that is fake….
July 8th, 2010 at 10:09 pm
All them people talkin bout “real hip hop” be the first ones to torrent yo shit.
July 8th, 2010 at 11:04 pm
Dude it leaking now is not a good look. Ye is known for working up to the last minute, so the leak that drops will be raw as hell and more than likely will give people a skewed perception of the album. Let’s hope this stays under raps until at least late August lol.
July 8th, 2010 at 11:06 pm
Mike Dean (Kanyes engineer) says that it’s fake which is good news. http://twitter.com/therealmikedean/status/18084475067
On a side note Kanye was at Lebron’s announcement tonight. So obviously he’s not sweating this so called leak.
July 8th, 2010 at 11:24 pm
that’s not what other folks are saying.
July 8th, 2010 at 11:27 pm
nope. a larger project was planned.
July 8th, 2010 at 11:30 pm
thank you : ) and as for album leaks, I dont think the major sites will post a link to a leaked album. I know I’ve never done that.
July 9th, 2010 at 12:02 am
Miss info I understood what he meant at the end with dwele when I first heard it. My cousin was why would he say such a the (“Now this will be a beautiful death I’m jumping out the window and letting everything go”) Its symbolism. He didn’t actually mean it. Ye has so much power in the muzic industry right now from people hating him>>>>>><<<<<to Loving him as a true fan. this is just going too far. Soon or later we might not even have the permission to leak just one song thats going to be a hit or am I exaggerating let alone his inspiration as an artist
July 9th, 2010 at 12:04 am
i hope it doesnt get leaked for the sake of kanye becuase his abulm dont come out till september but on the other hand i would love to listen to some of kayne’s music and im wondering which track has nicki on it and doesnt it seem like hes putting alot of songs on his abulm if this is the final tracklisting
July 9th, 2010 at 12:08 am
Yeah Mike Dean deleted that twitter comment.
Whatever the case I hope they’re able to limit damage as much as possible.
Kanye is a multimedia artist, one of the few who’ve been able to make each project an EVENT.
I WOULD LOVE IF HYPE AND YE did either a documentary a la Madonna’s “truth or dare” or a short film.
July 9th, 2010 at 12:13 am
Oh Man, I can picture Khaled now.
Runnin in circles OD’ing on “we da best”s.
July 9th, 2010 at 12:35 am
Lol…ms info pls stop saying comment & not elborating..cmon!!!!
July 9th, 2010 at 12:37 am
The language on the screenshot is Swedish.
July 9th, 2010 at 1:24 am
Now he deleted that tweet, so…:/
July 9th, 2010 at 2:01 am
get the new Big Boi, shits tight.
July 9th, 2010 at 2:38 am
uh huh *info shrug*
July 9th, 2010 at 7:16 am
For The Love Of Good Music This Better Not Leak- F*ck it,
The Guy Leaks It Im Not Listening To Shit till the Official Release, Id Rather Listen To Ye’s Complete Finished Album Thanks.
July 9th, 2010 at 7:37 am
it’s swedish.
July 9th, 2010 at 8:07 am
Kanye is the only artist that gets me excited to buy his albums..Until Nas goes back to street bangers,Ye will continue to be the only one..
July 9th, 2010 at 8:42 am
Kanye has established such a powerful aura around himself in and outside of the booth that he’s the first rapper ive ever seen who’s album we’re afraid of leaking haha. everyone’s literally like “dear God no..”
somehow i think I’d be murdered if it leaked, and i’d have nothing to do with it.
July 9th, 2010 at 9:47 am
*dead*
July 9th, 2010 at 10:06 am
miss info its true he did meet up with lebron
July 9th, 2010 at 10:44 am
This is definately a Euro hack….seems like Backtrack was probably used. Why don’t these artist ever learn? All a hacker needs to do is know where you live and what studio you record at. They can hack into the wireless connection (because we know everyone uses wireless) and either search for songs or sit outside the firewall and sniff packets looking for songs or zip files. The artist need to save these songs to private networks without internet connections and walk around with a secure encrypted hardrives. The music must NEVER leave their sight. They are so reckless with their careers………Can somebody hire me please? lol…….. I will make sure your music NEVER leaks!!!!
July 9th, 2010 at 10:56 am
w/ bruce: yeah, me too -Bruce can be my assistant. Don’t rass with us though, otherwise…
July 9th, 2010 at 11:46 am
I definitely agree with you on this.
@abstractiLLer says the internet is a corrupt place.I don’t necessarily agree with that. The Internet is a great and powerful tool that’s just used for cruel and vile things….like the discovery of atomic energy and the advent of the atomic bomb.But back to this….artists should be extremely security conscious.Where they record.Who has access to material.Like you said,making sure you only use a secure network with NO internet connection.Encrypted portable hard drives. I know it seems like a bitch and a half to do,but if you’re that hot and you’re in demand like that,it minimizes the likelihood of a leak.Although,most leaks are internal and some even intentional with an artist’ consent.Bottom line….keep a lock on your door and no one can walk out with your furniture.
July 9th, 2010 at 12:54 pm
Hey ‘sup Info ! It’s been a while !
Well, what if everything was an elaborate scheme from Kanye & Hype ? Like “Hey let’s buy a swedish cheap computer on linux and leak a screenshot !”
July 9th, 2010 at 3:11 pm
yo this album incredible!!!!!…
July 9th, 2010 at 3:48 pm
Damn….I’m going feel guilty as hell crankin this joint
bobbin my head with a mean mug
July 9th, 2010 at 6:38 pm
thats real talk…food and liquor was a disaster
July 10th, 2010 at 1:11 am

July 10th, 2010 at 1:23 am

July 10th, 2010 at 7:53 am
That screenshot is from a Swedish OS. The user has a website open translated “how to crack a password for zipfile”
July 10th, 2010 at 10:03 pm
that shit is hot. STill boo boo’n on tracks. I don’t be sayn people who started rapping in the early 90
‘s is washed up or anything. Unless they really sound bad.
July 10th, 2010 at 10:06 pm
He’s just teasing u
July 12th, 2010 at 4:14 pm
im between a rock n a hard place because i respect him as a artist so i don’t want to download the leaked music……. but i love his music and i can’t wait to hear it so in a way i really really want to. but at the end of the day imma do whats right n not download it even though its very tempting!
July 27th, 2010 at 6:59 pm
