Consequence Claims He Heard an Unreleased Kanye West and Kendrick Lamar Album: ‘It Just Needed to Be Structured’

Consequence was asked about the unreleased Kanye West and Kendrick Lamar album.

The conversation about the supposed LP came up on the latest episode of the Bootleg Kev podcast at the 52:07 mark in the video linked above.

“I just think it just needed to be structured, you know what I'm saying?” Consequence said before confirming he heard “the whole thing.”

"It was there, it's there, it's crazy. It's there," he added.

Rumors of a supposed Ye and K.Dot collaborative album originally came about in January 2016 when the two dropped the Madlib-produced “No More Parties In LA” as part of an installment of the G.O.O.D Fridays series—even though the song itself did not arrive on a Friday.

Days later, it was confirmed that the two hit the studio together for an overnight, history-making session. Kanye would confirm the following month that he had recorded 40 songs with Kendrick.

None of the material seemingly materialized until a handful of the demos, presumably from their January 2016 sessions, leaked online in early 2018 including “Madlib Freestyle 6.” Two more tracks titled “Liberated (FSMH DEMO),” and “Don’t Jump” were also leaked.

When speaking to Complex’s Eric Skelton in 2020, Madlib confirmed that the two recorded verses over his beats.

“Oh, they did like 30 minutes of stuff, just going back and forth, going crazy. I heard it. Somebody played it on the phone, but I haven't actually—,” he said at the time. “They were going off, too, man. Because I do my beat tapes like one-minute beats, and they were just, one minute on that one, that one, that one. It was crazy.”

The elusive producer believed that neither party would release the material and shared that it was out of his hands.
