As we type this, Kanye West‘s “Gone” with Cam’ron and Consequence is sitting at the top of the Billboard charts, 8 years after Late Registration was released. He’s right there in between Mike WiLL Made It’s “23” and AWOLNATION’s “Sail” thanks to silly viral videos. Too bad it wasn’t an actual music video or that this isn’t 2005, but it’s better late than never. Think about what that would mean if this kept rising up the charts.
But it made us wonder. There have been plenty of great Kanye West songs that never had videos. Shit, “Gone” wasn’t even really a single. Does this prove it maybe should have been? Either way, it’s already made its mark in history that can’t ever be erased.
Unfortunately, other songs from his catalog had the potential to be big chart toppers, some even did, but they never got the full visual release. Explore below and peep which tracks we would have wanted to see come to life.
