https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rehgwg5wAE If you've ever heard Kanye's 15-minute rags-to-riches tale Last Call on College Dropout then you should be at least somewhat familiar with this track. In the song he describes trying to impress Dame Dash, explaining: "Dame was in the room. So I played... actually it's a song that you'll never hear, but maybe I might use it. So, it's called 'Wow.'" Well, this is that song. It's your pretty standard dose of braggadocious rap with Ye spitting: "I go to Jacob with 25 thou, you go with 25 hundred, WOW! I got 11 plaques on my wall right now. You got your first gold single damn n****, WOW!" While the song isn't that impressive it was apparently enough to get him a record deal with the most prominent hip-hop label at the time. Or else Dame Dash is just the most prolific record exec to ever live!
