Holy Rap Nerdery! You Must Check Out This Unreleased Demo Tape From Kanye West (Listen) Posted by Danielle Harling on 04/22/13 | Filed under Top Stories, Downloads, Kanye West, Rap Nerdery

There's nothing like a lil' throwback Kanye West to kick off your week and we've been gifted with just that thanks to the release of "The Prerequisite," an old demo tape from the rapper that dates back to about 2001. The tracklist for the demo tape alone is intriguing. You've got records like "Hey Mama" and "Jesus Walks," which were obviously released years later, scattered among lesser known tracks.

It's also interesting hearing how much the records that were later included on studio albums from Kanye have evolved over the years. While you're waiting for this bad boy to download, you can check out the stream of an earlier and drastically different-sounding version of "All Falls Down" as well as a full tracklist to "The Prerequisite" below.
