Okay, so I was digging around the internet today, trying to figure out how many songs Kendrick Lamar and Kanye West have done together. These two are, like, hip-hop royalty, so I was super curious. You’d think there’d be a ton of collabs, right?
First, I hit up the usual spots – you know, Wikipedia, and some music forums. There was some talk about unreleased stuff, and people were saying they have like 40 songs recorded together. 40! But nothing solid on the actual released tracks.
Released Songs
- “No More Parties in L.A.” – This one’s a banger, for sure. It’s off Kanye’s album “The Life of Pablo” and features Kendrick. Definitely a highlight of their collabs.
Then I went down a rabbit hole of fan forums and Reddit threads. Some folks were mentioning songs like “Crack Music” and “Hey Mama” by Kanye, suggesting Kendrick might’ve had some input, but that’s all speculation. Other users were saying that the “Auntie Diaries” and “Sing About Me” by Kendrick, but it’s just names without any real details.
I even tried to look up specific years, like 2015, when Kendrick had his first number-one hit with Taylor Swift’s “Bad Blood” remix. I figured maybe that year they might’ve worked together more. No dice. It just showed me that Kendrick has 107 entries, 56 top 40s, and 18 top 10s on the Billboard Hot 100. That is cool but doesn’t help me much.
So far, the only confirmed track I could find is “No More Parties in L.A.” There’s a lot of buzz about unreleased material, but nothing you can actually listen to on Spotify or Apple Music. I’m a bit bummed, to be honest. I was hoping for a longer list.
It’s crazy to think these two have so much unreleased music just sitting somewhere. It feels like a “crime of the century,” as one forum user put it. The potential for some epic music is there, but for now, it remains a mystery.
I’m still on the hunt, though. If I find anything more, I’ll definitely update this post. Maybe one day, we’ll get to hear all those 40 songs they supposedly have in the vault.
